Abstract:
A GaN based substrate is obtained with a simple etching. The GaN based substrate is separate from another base substrate with the etching. The whole process is easy and costs low. The substrate is made of a material having a matching lattice length for a lattice structure so that the substrate has good characteristics. And the GaN based substrate has good heat dissipation so that the stability and life-time of GaN based devices on the GaN based substrate are enhanced even when they are constantly operated under a high power.
Abstract:
A light-emitting device comprises a multi-layer structure including one or more active layer configured to irradiate light in response to the application of an electric signal, a transparent passivation layer laid over an outmost surface of the multi-layer stack, a reflector layer laid over the passivation layer, and a plurality of electrode pads coupled with the multi-layer structure. In a manufacture process of the light-emitting device, the reflector layer and the passivation layer are patterned to form at least one opening exposing an area of the multi-layer structure. One electrode pad is formed through the opening of the reflector layer and the passivation layer to connect with the multi-layer structure
Abstract:
A preparation for forming a thin film capacitor includes forming an amorphous ferroelectric film, such as barium strontium titanate [(Ba,Sr)TiO3] film, for use as an interface between a metal electrode and a polycrystalline ferroelectric film, such as (Ba,Sr) TiO3 film. The polycrystalline ferroelectric film serves as a dielectric layer of the thin film capacitor in view of the fact that the polycrystalline ferroelectric film has a high dielectric constant. The amorphous ferroelectric film serves as a buffer layer for inhibiting the leakage current of the thin film capacitor. The amorphous ferroelectric film is grown by sputtering and by introducing a working gas, such as argon, and a reactive gas, such as oxygen, into a reaction chamber in which a plasma is generated at room temperature.
Abstract:
A Mach-Zehnder wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) is provided. The WDM has a short length with flat passband and low crosstalk. Since passband is flattened, crosstalk is reduced and length of the WDM is shortened, the WDN can be used for optical communication and optical interconnection in a single chip.
Abstract:
A semiconductor element having a high breakdown voltage includes a substrate, a buffer layer, a semiconductor composite layer and a bias electrode. The buffer layer disposed on the substrate includes a high edge dislocation defect density area. The semiconductor composite layer disposed on the buffer layer includes a second high edge dislocation defect density area formed due to the first high edge dislocation defect density area. The bias electrode is disposed on the semiconductor composite layer. A virtual gate effect of defect energy level capturing electrons is generated due to the first and second high edge dislocation defect density areas, such that an extended depletion region expanded from the bias electrode is formed at the semiconductor composite layer. When the bias electrode receives a reverse bias, the extended depletion region reduces a leakage current and increases the breakdown voltage of the semiconductor element.

A method for growing a semipolar nitride comprises steps: forming a plurality of parallel discrete trenches on a silicon substrate, each discrete trenches having a first wall and a second wall, wherein a tilt angle is formed between the surface of the silicon substrate and the first wall; forming a buffer layer on the silicon substrate and the trenches, wherein the buffer layer on the first wall has a plurality of growing zones and a plurality of non-growing zones among the growing zones and complementary to the growing zones; forming a cover layer on the buffer layer and revealing the growing zones; and growing a semipolar nitride from the growing zones of the buffer layer and covering the cover layer. Thereby cracks caused by thermal stress between the silicon substrate and semipolar nitride are decreased and the quality of the semipolar nitride film is improved.
