摘要:
An electron-emitting device comprising a pair of device electrodes and an electroconductive film including an electron-emitting region is manufactured by a method comprising a process of forming an electroconductive film including steps of forming a pattern on a thin film containing a metal element on the basis of a difference of chemical state, and removing part of the thin film on the basis of the difference of chemical state.
摘要:
A semiconductor optical amplifier comprises a substrate (1) and an active layer (4) constructed as a quantum well structure. The active layer includes a plurality of well layers (14,15) and a plurality of barrier layers (13a,13c) which are alternately layered. The composition of each well layer (14,15) is such that the well layers have different quantum levels. The barrier layers are subjected to biaxial strain to shift the energy band structures so as to eliminate the polarization dependency of optical gain in the active region.
