摘要:
A method for activating semiconductor impurities, which comprises irradiating an impurity-doped SiC substrate (1) or thin film (2) either with laser beams (5) having a wavelength greater than the one which causes the band edge absorption of the semiconductor, or with laser beams (5) having a wavelength which causes the same absorption as a result of the vibration of the bond between the impurity element and the element constituting the semiconductor, for example, a wavelength of 9-11 νm. In particular, when SiC is doped with Al, the irradiation is effected with laser beams (5) having a wavelength of 9.5 - 10 νm.

An impurity doped SiC substrate 1 and SiC thin film 2 are irradiated with a laser light 5 having a wavelength longer than such a wavelength that a band edge absorption of a semiconductor is caused The wavelength of the laser light 5 may be such a wavelength that an absorption is caused by a vibration by the bond of an impurity element and an element constituting the semiconductor, for example, a wavelength of 9 µm to 11 µm. Specifically, in the case where Al is doped in SiC, the wavelength of the laser light 5 may be within the range of 9.5 µm to 10 µm.

摘要:
An electron emitting device which efficiently emits electrons by supplying electrons to a p-type diamond layer (13) from an electron supplying layer (12) by impressing a forward bias upon MIS, p-n, and pin structures using diamond layers. In the production process of the electron emitting device, a continuous diamond layer (13) is formed by a vapor synthesizing method and the thickness of the diamond layer is adjusted to a prescribed value by etching. In order to arbitrarily control the electron affinity of the surface of the diamond layer (13), the surface is exposed to vacuum ultraviolet rays, or hydrogen or oxygen plasma.

An electron emitting device includes at least an electron transporting member (1), an electron emitting member (3), and an electric field concentration region (2) formed between the electron transporting member (1) and the electron emitting member (3). For example, the electron transporting member (1) may be a conductive layer, the electric field concentration region (2) may be formed of an insulating layer formed on the conductive layer, and the electron emitting member (3) may be formed of particles provided on the insulating layer. Due to the electric field concentration in the electric field concentration region (2), electrons are easily injected from the electron transporting member (1) to the electron emitting member (3).
摘要:
A transparent prism (13) which has a light input surface (11), a light output surface (12) and a bottom surface (14) on which is provided a reflection control layer (15) which has a higher refractive index than the prism (13) and has a film thickness which is larger than the wavelength of light. When the reflection control layer (15) is formed of a thin film of an electro-optical material ora thin film of heat-sensitive material, light (16) can be reflected or transmitted thereby by controlling an electrical field applied to the control layer (15) in the case of the former material, and by controlling the current supplied to a heating member provided for the control layer (15) in the case of the latter material. This light valve can effect high-speed switching between reflected light (161) and transmitted light (162). Therefore, it is possible to employ the light valve as an optical part, such as a switch or modulatorfor optical communication, or an element of a projection television receiver, or a printer.
摘要:
P-type active region 12; n-type source/drain regions 13a and 13b; gate insulating film 14 made of a thermal oxide film; gate electrode 15; source/drain electrodes 16a and 16b, are provided over a p-type SiC substrate 11. In the active region 12, p-type heavily doped layers 12a, which are thin enough to create a quantum effect, and thick undoped layers 12b are alternately stacked. When carriers flow, scattering of impurity ions in the active region is reduced, and the channel mobility increases. In the OFF state, a depletion layer expands throughout the active region, and the breakdown voltage increases. As a result of reduction in charges trapped in the gate insulating film or near the interface between the gate insulating film and the active region, the channel mobility further increases.

A semiconductor module comprises independently operable segments 1 (semiconductor elements) on a SiC substrate. Each segment 1 comprises a source electrode pad 2 and a gate electrode pad 3 both provided to the principal surface side of the SiC substrate, and a drain electrode pad provided on the back surface side of the SiC substrate. The semiconductor module further comprises an isolation region such as a trench or a Schottky diode for electrically isolating the adjacent segments 1 from each other. Only electrode pads 2 and 3 of each of the segments 1 determined as conforming items by a test are connected to electrode terminals 41 and 43 , respectively.
摘要:
A semiconductor device having an accumulation channel SiC-MISFET structure includes a p-type SiC layer 10 formed on an SiC substrate, an n-type channel layer 20 , a gate insulating film 11 , a gate electrode 12 , and n-type source and drain layers 13a and 13b . The channel layer 20 includes an undoped layer 22 and a δ doped layer 21 which is formed in the vicinity of the lower end of the undoped layer 22 . Since the channel layer 20 includes the high-concentration δ doped layer 21 in its deeper portion, the electric field in the surface region of the channel layer is weakened, thereby allowing the current driving force to increase.
