摘要:
An integrated circuit includes a substrate material that includes an epitaxial layer, wherein the substrate material and the epitaxial layer form a first semiconductor material with the epitaxial layer having a first conductivity type. At least one nanowire comprising a second semiconductor material having a second conductivity type doped differently than the first conductivity type of the first semiconductor material forms a junction crossing region with the first semiconductor material. The nanowire and the first semiconductor material form an avalanche photodiode (APD) in the junction crossing region to enable single photon detection. In an alternative configuration, the APD is formed as a p-i-n crossing region where n represents an n-type material, i represents an intrinsic layer, and p represents a p-type material.

A method for growing a SiC-containing film on a Si substrate is disclosed. The SiC-containing film can be formed on a Si substrate by, for example, plasma sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, or atomic layer deposition. The thus-grown SiC-containing film provides an alternative to expensive SiC wafers for growing semiconductor crystals.

A nuclear radiation detection system using narrowband UV crystal filters is disclosed. Since the photons produced during the decay of β- and γ-radiation can be detected in the spectral range of about 200-350 nm (the ultraviolet range), UV filter based photo sensors are utilized for detection. The nuclear radiation detection system comprises an optical assembly capable of focusing on a source of radiation, a UV filter assembly having a narrowband UV crystal filter and positioned to receive light transmitted through the optical assembly, and a light detector positioned to receive light transmitted through the UV filter assembly. The narrowband UV crystal filter is fabricated from crystals selected from the group consisting of nickel fluorosilicate, nickel fluoroborate, and potassium nickel sulfate. The nickel fluorosilicate, nickel fluoroborate, and potassium nickel sulfate may be doped to achieve even narrower band filter. The radiation detection system can be used to monitor contamination in a nuclear plant or a nuclear waste dump site. It may also be used for surveillance of contamination in case of a nuclear accident.

摘要:
A Si(1-x)MxC material for heterostructures on SiC can be grown by CVD, PVD and MOCVD. SIC doped with a metal such as Al modifies the bandgap and hence the heterostructure. Growth of SiC Si(1-x)MxC heterojunctions using SiC and metal sources permits the fabrication of improved HFMTs (high frequency mobility transistors), HBTs (heterojunction bipolar transistors), and HEMTs (high electron mobility transistors).

A substrate and method for growing a semi-conductive crystal on an alloy film such as (AIN)x(SiC)(1-x) without any buffer layer is disclosed. The (AIN)x(SiC)(1-x) alloy film can be formed on a SiC substrate by a vapor deposition process using AIN and SiC powder as starting materials. The (AIN)x(SiC)(1-x) alloy film provides a better lattice match for GaN or SiC epitaxial growth and reduces defects in epitaxially grown GaN with better lattice match and chemistry.

An apparatus, system, and method quickly backs up data in an emergency situation and reduces battery backup dependence. The apparatus may include a backup module and a dedicated computer readable storage device. The backup module interfaces with system memory and selectively transmits modified data to the storage device in response to a detected system failure. The dedicated storage device stores the modified data around the outer edge of a hard disk in order to increase write performance. The system may include the backup module, the storage device, a plurality of client devices, and a plurality of storage devices. The method includes storing modified and unmodified data, detecting a system failure, and transmitting modified data stored in a memory module to a dedicated computer readable backup device. Upon rebooting the device, the method may include restoring the modified data to the system memory and destaging the modified data to the plurality of storage devices.
