Apparatus (12, 12a) and a method for depositing a semiconductor material on a glass sheet substrate (G) utilizes a distributor (22) including a heated permeable member (24) through which a carrier gas and a semiconductor material are passed to provide a vapor that is deposited as a semiconductor layer on the conveyed glass sheet substrate. The permeable member (24) is tubular and has an electrical voltage applied along its length to provide the heating, and the carrier gas and the semiconductor as a powder are introduced into the tubular permeable member for flow outwardly therefrom as the vapor. A shroud (34) extending around the tubular permeable member (24) has an opening (36) through which the vapor flows for the semiconductor layer deposition. In one embodiment of apparatus (12), the semiconductor layer is deposited on an upwardly facing surface (56) of the glass sheet substrate (G) while another embodiment of the apparatus (12a) deposits the semiconductor layer on a downwardly facing surface (54) of the substrate.

An apparatus for forming I-III-VI.sub.2 thin-film layers has a reaction chamber made of a carbon material in which a precursor for forming a I-III-VI.sub.2 thin-film layer and a vapor source of an element of group VI of the periodic table are placed. The precursor and vapor source are heated under vacuum to form the I-III-VI.sub.2 thin-film layer. The reaction chamber is divided into a reaction compartment A having the precursor placed therein and a reaction compartment B having the vapor element of group IV placed therein. A communication channel C is provided between the reaction compartments A and B, and a heating unit controlled by a temperature control unit is provided exterior to each of the reaction compartments A and B.
摘要:
High quality thin films of copper-indium-gallium-diselenide useful in the production of solar cells are prepared by electrodepositing at least one of the constituent metals onto a glass/Mo substrate, followed by physical vapor deposition of copper and selenium or indium and selenium to adjust the final stoichiometry of the thin film to approximately Cu(In,Ga)Se.sub.2. Using an AC voltage of 1-100 KHz in combination with a DC voltage for electrodeposition improves the morphology and growth rate of the deposited thin film. An electrodeposition solution comprising at least in part an organic solvent may be used in conjunction with an increased cathodic potential to increase the gallium content of the electrodeposited thin film.

A method for growth of II-VI compound semiconductors grows a p-type II-VI compound semiconductor such as a p-type ZnSe by vapor deposition such as metallorganic chemical vapor deposition and molecular beam epitaxy using gaseous materials. The method uses as a p-type dopant an organic compound including at least one nitrogen atom and at least two groups of atoms each having a molecular weight larger than 12 and both combined with the nitrogen atom. One of such organic compounds is di-isopropylamine.

A CVD apparatus for growing a compound semiconductor film with a desired composition ratio on a wafer includes a heat source for supplying heat to a source gas flowing over the wafer so that a temperature gradient of the source gas is cancelled. The heat source may be a susceptor having a hollow part so that the heat capacity of the susceptor varies from the upstream part to the downstream part of the source gas flow. In this structure, the decomposition ratio of the source gas is uniform over the wafer surface whereby the uniformity of the composition distribution in the film grown on the wafer is improved, increasing production yield.

This invention is a method for the controlled growth of single-crystal semiconductor-device-quality films of SiC polytypes on vicinal (0001) SiC wafers with low tilt angles. Both homoepitaxial and heteroepitaxial SiC films can be produced on the same wafer. In particular, 3C-SiC and 6H-SiC films can be produced within selected areas of the same 6H-SiC wafer.
摘要:
A crystal formation method is disclosed which is a crystal growth method comprising feeding two or more kinds of reactive starting gases alternately into a crystal formation treatment space having a substrate with a non-nucleation surface (S.sub.NDS) having small nucleation density and a nucleation surface (S.sub.NDL) having sufficiently small area for crystal growth only from a single nucleus, and larger nucleation density (ND.sub.L) than the nucleation density (ND.sub.S) of said non-nucleation surface (S.sub.NDS) being arranged adjacent to each other arranged therein, thereby permitting a monocrystal to grow selectively from said single nucleus, characterized in that when one of the starting gases is changed over to the other starting gas, the reaction vessel is once evacuated internally to 10.sup.-2 Torr or less.
