    摘要: Methods of doping nanostructures, such as nanowires, are disclosed. The methods provide a variety of approaches for improving existing methods of doping nanostructures. The embodiments include the use of a sacrificial layer to promote uniform dopant distribution within a nanostructure during post-nanostructure synthesis doping. In another embodiment, a high temperature environment is used to anneal nanostructure damage when high energy ion implantation is used. In another embodiment rapid thermal annealing is used to drive dopants from a dopant layer on a nanostructure into the nanostructure. In another embodiment a method for doping nanowires on a plastic substrate is provided that includes depositing a dielectric stack on a plastic substrate to protect the plastic substrate from damage during the doping process. An embodiment is also provided that includes selectively using high concentrations of dopant materials at various times in synthesizing nanostructures to realize novel crystallographic structures within the resulting nanostructure.

    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.
