摘要:
A pressure sensor is provided. The pressure sensor includes a multi-layer laminate comprising a substrate and a semiconductor layer, wherein the substrate comprises single crystal or quasi-single crystal aluminum oxide, and a portion of the substrate that is spaced from a peripheral edge is wet etched to form an inwardly facing sidewall that defines a volume; and a substrate to which the multi-layer laminate is secured. The volume is an enclosed volume further defined by a substrate surface.

The present invention is directed toward a method for fabricating low-defect nanostructures of wide bandgap materials and to optoelectronic devices, such as light emitting sources and lasers, based on them. The invention utilizes nanolithographically-defined templates to form nanostructures of wide bandgap materials that are energetically unfavorable for dislocation formation. In particular, this invention provides a method for the fabrication of phosphor-less monolithic white light emitting diodes and laser diodes that can be used for general illumination and other applications.
摘要:
An etchant including a halogenated salt, such as Cryolite (Na3AlF6) or potassium tetrafluoro borate (KBF4), is provided. The salt may be present in the etchant in an amount sufficient to etch a substrate and may have a melt temperature of greater than about 200 degrees Celsius. A method of wet etching may include contacting an etchant to at least one surface of a support layer of a multi-layer laminate, wherein the support layer may include aluminum oxide; or contacting an etchant to at least one surface of a support layer of a multi-layer laminate, wherein the etchant may include Cryolite (Na3AlF6), potassium tetrafluoro borate (KBF4), or both; and etching at least a portion of the support layer. The method may provide a laminate produced by growing a crystal onto an aluminum oxide support layer, and chemically removing at least a portion of the support layer by wet etch. An electronic device, optical device or combined device including the laminate is provided.

A photodetector (100, 200, 300) comprising a gallium nitride substrate, at least one active layer (104, 302) disposed on the substrate (102, 202, 306), and a conductive contact structure (106, 210, 308) affixed to the active layer (104, 302) and, in some embodiments, the substrate (102, 202, 306). The invention includes photodetectors (100, 200, 300) having metal-semiconductor-metal structures, P-i-N structures, and Schottky-barrier structures. The active layers (104, 302) may comprise Ga1-x-yAlxInyN1-z-w PzAsw, or, preferably, Ga1-xAlxN. The gallium nitride substrate comprises a single crystal gallium nitride wafer and has a dislocation density of less than about 105 cm−2. A method of making the photodetector (100, 200, 300) is also disclosed.

摘要:
A method for removing defects at high pressure and high temperature (HP/HT) or for relieving strain in a non-diamond crystal commences by providing a crystal, which contains defects, and a pressure medium. The crystal and the pressure medium are disposed in a high pressure cell and placed in a high pressure apparatus, for processing under reaction conditions of sufficiently high pressure and high temperature for a time adequate for one or more of removing defects or relieving strain in the single crystal.
