摘要: A non-stoichiometric SiOXNY thin-film optical filter is provided. The filter is formed from a substrate and a first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film overlying the substrate, where (X1+Y1 0). The first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film has a refractive index (n1) in the range of about 1.46 to 3, and complex refractive index (N1=n1+ik1), where k1 is an extinction coefficient in a range of about 0 to 0.5. The first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film may be either intrinsic or doped. In one aspect, the first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film has nanoparticles with a size in the range of about 1 to 10 nm. A second non-stoichiometric SiOX2NY2 thin-film may overlie the first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film, where Y1≠Y2. The second non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film may be intrinsic and doped. In another variation, a stoichiometric SiOX2NY2 thin-film, intrinsic or doped, overlies the first non-stoichiometric SiOX1NY1 thin-film.

摘要: Single-crystal devices and a method for forming semiconductor film single-crystal domains are provided. The method comprises: forming a substrate, such as glass or Si; forming an insulator film overlying the substrate; forming a single-crystal seed overlying the substrate and insulator; forming an amorphous film overlying the seed; annealing the amorphous film; and, forming a single-crystal domain in the film responsive to the single-crystal seed. The annealing technique can be (conventional) laser annealing, a laser induced lateral growth (LiLAC) process, or conventional furnace annealing. In some aspects, forming a single-crystal seed includes forming a nanowire or a self assembled monolayer (SAM). For example, a Si nanowire can be formed having a crystallographic orientation of or . When, the seed has a crystallographic orientation, then an n-type TFT can be formed. Likewise, when a single-crystal seed has a crystallographic orientation, a p-type TFT can be formed.

摘要: A germanium (Ge) photodiode array on a glass substrate is provided with a corresponding fabrication method. A Ge substrate is provided that is either not doped or lightly doped with a first dopant. The first dopant can be either an n or p type dopant. A first surface of the Ge substrate is moderately doped with the first dopant and bonded to a glass substrate top surface. Then, a first region of a Ge substrate second surface is heavily doped with the first dopant. A second region of the Ge substrate second surface is heavily doped with a second dopant, having the opposite electron affinity than the first dopant, forming a pn junction. An interlevel dielectric (ILD) layer is formed overlying the Ge substrate second surface and contact holes are etched in the ILD layer overlying the first and second regions of the Ge substrate second surface. The contact holes are filled with metal and metal pads are formed overlying the contact holes.

摘要: A system and method are provided for crystallizing a semiconductor film using a digital light valve. The method comprises: enabling pixel elements from an array of selectable pixel elements; in response to enabling the pixel elements, gating a light; sequentially exposing adjacent areas of a semiconductor film, such as Si, to the gated light; annealing the light-exposed areas of semiconductor film; and, in response to the annealing, laterally growing crystal grains in the semiconductor film. For example, the method may sequentially expose adjacent areas of semiconductor film to gated light in a first direction; and, simultaneously exposing adjacent areas of semiconductor film to gated light in a second direction, different than the first direction. For example, the second direction may be perpendicular to the first direction. As a result, crystal grains can be laterally grown simultaneously in the first and second directions.
