    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for annealing semiconductor nanowires and for fabricating electrical devices are provided. Nanowires are deposited on a substrate. A plurality of electrodes is formed. The nanowires are in electrical contact with the plurality of electrodes. The nanowires are doped. A polarized laser beam is applied to the nanowires to anneal at least a portion of the nanowires. The nanowires may be aligned substantially parallel to an axis. The laser beam may be polarized in various ways to modify absorption of radiation of the applied laser beam by the nanowires. For example, the laser beam may be polarized in a direction substantially parallel to the axis or substantially perpendicular to the axis to enable different nanowire absorption profiles.

    摘要: An optical switch having an insulator under a heater element is disclosed. The insulator reduces the heat loss thereby making the switch more efficient. The insulator is fabricated embedded in the underlying substrate on which the heater and the optical intersection are fabricated. A method of fabricating the optical switch having an insulator is disclosed. A trench is etched on the substrate and filled with oxide or other suitable insulating material. Then, the heater and the optical intersection are fabricated above the insulator.

In one aspect, the thin film stack includes a plurality of thin film layers each having a thickness greater than about 10 nm and a plurality of surface-conditioning buffer layers each having a thickness between about 1 nm and about 10 nm. The surface-conditioning buffer layers are alternatingly disposed between the thin film layers. Each of the surface-conditioning buffer layers are formed with the same or substantially the same thickness and composition. In some implementations, the surface-conditioning buffer layers are formed by atomic layer deposition.

    摘要: A plurality of MEMS devices are formed on a substrate, a sacrificial layer is formed to cover each of the MEMS devices and a protective cap layer is formed on the sacrificial layer. A release hole is formed through the protective cap layer to the underlying sacrificial layer, and a releasing agent is introduced through the release hole to remove the sacrificial layer under the protective cap layer and expose a MEMS device. Optionally, the MEMS device can be released with the same releasing agent or, optionally, with a secondary releasing agent. The release hole is solder sealed, to form a hermetic seal of the MEMS device. Optionally, release holes are formed at a plurality of locations, each over a MEMS device and the releasing forms a plurality of hermetic sealed MEMS devices on the wafer substrate, which are singulated to form separate hermetically sealed MEMS devices.
