    摘要: An etching process is provided using electromagnetic radiation and a selected etchant (52) to selectively remove various types of materials (53) from a substrate (48). Contacts (49, 56, 64) may be formed to shield the masked regions (51) of the substrate (48) having an attached coating (20) during irradiation of the unmasked regions (53) of the substrate (48). The unmasked regions (53) are then exposed to an etchant (52) and irradiated to substantially increase their reactivity with the etchant (52) such that the etchant (52) etches the unmasked regions (53) substantially faster than the masked regions (51) and the contacts (49, 56, 64).

    摘要: The invention described forms improved ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) layer by adding lead to an original perovskite layer having an original ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) critical grain size, then forming a layer of the lead enhanced perovskite layer having an average grain size less than the original ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) critical grain size whereby the remanent polarization (or pyroelectric figure of merit) of the layer is substantially greater than the remanent polarization (or pyroelectric figure of merit) of the original perovskite layer with an average grain size similar to the average grain size of the layer. The critical ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) grain size, as used herein, means the largest grain size such that the remanent polarization (or pyroelectric figure of merit) starts to rapidly decrease with decreasing grain sizes. Preferably, n-type lead enhanced perovskite layer is doped with one or more acceptor dopants whereby the resistivity is substantially increased. Preferably, p-type lead enhanced perovskite layer is doped with one or more donor dopants whereby the resistivity is substantially increased. Preferably, the original perovskite layer has a chemical composition ABO.sub.3, where A is one or more monovalent, divalent or trivalent elements, and B is one or more pentavalent, tetravalent, trivalent or divalent elements. Structures containing an improved ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) layer include a layer of lead enhanced perovskite layer with average grain size less than the original ferroelectric (or pyroelectric) critical grain size formed on the surface of a substrate. Other structures include such a layer of lead enhanced layer interposed between two electrically conducting layers.

    摘要: A tantalum pentoxide substrate 34 immersed in a liquid ambient (e.g. 10% hydrofluoric acid 30) and illuminated with radiation (e.g. collimated visible/ultraviolet radiation 24) produced by a radiation source (e.g. a 200 Watt mercury xenon arc lamp 20). A window 26 which is substantially transparent to the collimated radiation 24 allows the radiated energy to reach the Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 substrate 34. An etch mask (e.g. organic photoresist 32) may be positioned between the radiation source 20 and the substrate 34. The Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 substrate 34 and liquid ambient 30 are maintained at a nominal temperature (e.g. 25.degree. C.). Without illumination, the Ta.sub.2 O.sub.5 is not appreciably etched by the liquid ambient. Upon illumination the etch rate is substantially increased.

    摘要: An array of thermal sensitive elements (16) may be formed from a pyroelectric substrate (46) having an infrared absorber and common electrode assembly (18) attached thereto. A first layer of electrically conductive contacts (60) is formed to define in part masked (61) and unmasked (68) regions of the substrate (46). A second layer of electrically conductive contacts (62) may be formed on the first layer of contacts (60). A mask layer (66) is formed to encapsulate the exposed portions of the second layer of contacts (62). The unmasked regions (68) are exposed to an etchant (70) and irradiated to substantially increase the reactivity between the unmasked regions (68) and the etchant (70) such that during irradiation, the etchant (70) removes the unmasked regions (68) substantially faster than the first layer of contacts (60) and the mask layer (66).

    摘要: A preferred embodiment of this invention comprises a thin unreactive film (e.g. platinum 36) contacting a high-dielectric-constant material (e.g. barium strontium titanate 38) to an electrode. The thin unreactive film provides a stable conductive interface between the high-dielectric-constant material layer and the electrode base (e.g palladium 34). As opposed to a standard thin-film layer, the thin unreactive film is generally less than 50 nm thick, preferably less than 35 nm thick, more preferably between 5 nm and 25 nm thick, and most preferably between 10 nm and 20 nm thick. A thin unreactive fire can benefit from the advantages of the materials used while avoiding or minimizing many of their disadvantages. A thin unreactive film would generally be substantially less expensive than a standard thin-film layer since much less material can be used while not significantly affecting the surface area of the electrode in contact with the HDC material. These structures my also be used for multilayer capacitors and other thin-film ferroelectric devices such as pyroelectric materials, non-volatile memories, thin-film piezoelectric and thin-film electro-optic oxides.

    摘要: A preferred embodiment of this invention comprises a conductive lightly donor doped perovskite layer (e.g. lightly La doped BST 34), and a high-dielectric-constant material layer (e.g. undoped BST 36) overlaying the conductive lightly donor doped perovskite layer. The conductive lightly donor doped perovskite layer provides a substantially chemically and structurally stable electrical connection to the high-dielectric-constant material layer. A lightly donor doped perovskite generally has much less resistance than undoped, acceptor doped, or heavily donor doped HDC materials. The amount of donor doping to make the material conductive (or resistive) is normally dependent on the process conditions (e.g. temperature, atmosphere, grain size, film thickness and composition). This resistivity may be further decreased if the perovskite is exposed to reducing conditions. The lightly donor doped perovskite can be deposited and etched by effectively the same techniques that are developed for the high-dielectric-constant material. The same equipment may used to deposit and etch both the perovskite electrode and the dielectric. These structures may also be used for multilayer capacitors and other thin-film ferroelectric devices such as pyroelectric materials, non-volatile memories, thin-film piezoelectric and thin-film electro-optic oxides.

    摘要: An array of thermal sensor elements (16) is formed from a pyroelectric substrate (46) having an infrared absorber and common electrode assembly (18) attached thereto. A first layer of metal contacts (60) is formed to define masked (61) and unmasked (68) regions of the substrate (46). A second layer of metal contacts (62) is formed on the first layer of contacts (60). A radiation etch mask layer (66) is formed to encapsulate the exposed portions of the second layer of contacts (62). A dry-etch mask layer (74) is formed to encapsulate the exposed portions of the first layer of contacts (60) and radiation etch mask layer (66). An initial portion of each unmasked region (68) is etched using a dry-etch process. The remaining portions of the unmasked regions (68) are exposed to an etchant (70) and irradiated with electromagnetic energy to substantially increase the reactivity between the remaining portions and the etchant (70). During such irradiation, the etchant (70) etches the remaining portions substantially faster than the first layer of contacts (60) and the radiation etch mask layer (66).
