摘要:
A free-standing III-N wafer, wherein III denotes at least one element of the group III of the periodic Table of Elements, selected from Al, Ga and In, is obtained by a process comprising providing a III-N layer having a surface, which comprises more than one facet, and selectively depositing a mask material only on one or multiple, but not on all facets during a III-N layer growth process. Thereby, it is possible to produce free-standing thick III-N layers. Further, semiconductor devices or components having special structures and layers can be produced.

The present invention relates to epitaxial growth of nanowires on a substrate. In particular the invention relates to growth of nanowires on an Si-substrate without using Au as a catalyst. In the method according to the invention an oxide template is provided on a passivated surface of the substrate. The oxide template defines a plurality of nucleation onset positions for subsequent nanowire growth. According to one embodiment a thin organic film is used to form the oxide template.

摘要:
The invention concerns a method for producing a growth mask on the surface of an initial crystalline substrate (1) including the following steps: forming a second material layer (2) on one of the sides of the first material initial substrate (1); forming a pattern in the thickness of the second material layer (2) so as to expose zones of said side of the initial substrate, said zones forming growth windows on the initial substrate. Said method is characterized in that the formation of the pattern is obtained by ionic implantation provided in the surface layer of the initial substrate underlying the second material layer, the conditions of implantation being such that they bring about, directly or following heat treatment, on said side of the initial substrate, the occurrence of exfoliated zones (5) of first material causing the localized removal of second material zones covering the exfoliated zones of first material, thereby locally exposing the initial substrate and forming growth windows (6) on the initial substrate. The invention also concerns methods for producing a thin crystalline layer and transferring said thin layer on a receiving substrate.
摘要:
An method wherein a group III nitride semiconductor is grown laterally from a surface (56a,56b) formed in a first epitaxial layer (52) having a different lattice parameter allows for the formation of epitaxial layer (55) that includes a region (60) that is substantially free of cracks (17). Growing the second epitaxial layer (55) from a side wall (56a,56b) of a trench (57) formed in a first epitaxial layer (52) rotates the growth direction of the second epitaxial layer (55) through approximately 90° with respect to the major surface (63) of the first epitaxial layer (52). In this manner, cracks (17) that occur in the second epitaxial layer (55) tend to occur in the direction perpendicular to the side wall (56a,56b) from which the second epitaxial growth initiates, which direction is also parallel to the major surface (63) of the first epitaxial material (52). This results in a substantially crack-free epitaxial material (60) growing out of the trench (57). The substantially crack-free epitaxial layer (60) may by used to grow successive epitaxial layers.

摘要:
A solar cell device comprises a first solar cell (70) to which two other separately-fabricated solar cells (72, 73) are bonded by a transparent bonding agent, the other cells (72, 73) being of thin film form. The bonding agent can be an electrical insulator and the cells (70, 72, 73) can be wired independently so as to be current and voltage decoupled. Alternatively, the bonding agent is tin-doped indium oxide so that the cells are connected in series. At least the thin solar cells (72,73) are formed by an epitaxial lateral overgrowth technique.
