    摘要: A heterostructure comprising a surface semiconductor layer (3) having a small band gap and being adaptable to planar processing supported on a high resistance accommodation layer (2) effectively eliminating possible low impedance parallel current paths is described. The accommodation layer has a larger band gap than the layer (3) and is of intrinsic conductivity type. The small band gap layer has its Fermi level pinned in or near the conduction band edge at surfaces and grain boundaries thereby providing barrierless current flow and eliminating the usually inherent barries formed with metal contacts. Furthermore neither the semi insulating substrate (1), the accommodations layer (2) or the small band gap layer (3) need to be single crystalline lattice matched or epitaxial specific examples of the invention comprise: 1. a superconductor normal super­conductor device of n-InAs-100 nanometers thick with niobium superconductor electrodes spaced 250 nanometers apart and a 100 nanometer gate in the space with the n-InAs being supported by an undoped GaAs layer on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate. 2. a heterojunction field effect transistor device having a GaAlAs gate over a channel 100 nanometers thick on an undoped GaAs layer on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate.

    摘要: In a semiconductor device, a contact with low resistance to a III-V compound semiconductor substrate was fabricated using refractory materials (26, 28) and small amounts of indium (30) as the contact material. The contact material was formed by depositing Mo, Ge and W with small amounts of In onto doped GaAs wafers (24). The contact resistance less than 1.0 ohm millimeter was obtained after annealing at 800°C and the resistance did not increase after subsequent prolonged annealing at 400°C.

    摘要: Implanted impurity ions are activated in a compound semiconductor crystal wafer (1, 3), such as GaAs over a broad integrated circuit device area (4) by providing a uniform solid layer (5) (eg 10 A to 500 A thick) of the most volatile element of the compound over the surface (2) of the device area (4) and annealing the crystal wafer at a temperature of 800°C to 900°C for a period of 1 to 20 seconds.
    The layer (5) of the most volatile element may either be formed on a backing substrate (6) or formed as a coating on the surface (2) of the crystal wafer (1, 3).

    摘要: A semiconductor processor for signals such as are conveyed by fibre optics wherein the processor structure accommodates lattice mismatch and minimizes the effect of misfit dislocations. The structure permits using materials having favorable absorption properties at the 1 micrometer wavelength of optical signals. A binary semiconductor is employed with graded regions produced by adding a different third ingredient in two places so that a wide band optically transparent emitter with a graded base and graded collector are provided. The ingredients impart a strong absorption in the optical signal wavelength together with superior semiconductor carrier transit time. A structure for a silicon and germanium oxide based optical signal fibre uses a GaAlAs emitter, a base that is graded to Ga 25 In 75 As at the collector and then back to GaAs at the substrate.

    摘要: Optical signals of individual wavelengths are logically combined by directing the signals at an incident surface of an integrated series of photodiodes each comprising an undoped light-absorbing semiconductor region which absorbs a high proportion of a respective one of the individual wavelengths and a low proportion of the other individual wavelengths.
    Each of the integrated series of photodiodes consists of an undoped light-absorbing semiconductor region contiguous with one component region of a pair of doped semiconductor regions forming a quantum mechanical tunnelling pn junction, the combined thickness of the pair of doped semiconductor regions being of the order of the mean free path length of a charge carrier therein. The undoped light-absorbing region of a succeeding diode in the series is contiguous with the other component region of the pair of doped semiconductor regions of the preceding diode in the series.
