摘要:
This disclosure relates to methods that include depositing a first component and a second component to form a film including a plurality of nanostructures, and coating the nanostructures with a hydrophobic layer to render the film superhydrophobic. The first component and the second component can be immiscible and phase-separated during the depositing step. The first component and the second component can be independently selected from the group consisting of a metal oxide, a metal nitride, a metal oxynitride, a metal, and combinations thereof. The films can have a thickness greater than or equal to 5 nm; an average surface roughness (Ra) of from 90 to 120 nm, as measured on a 5 μm×5 μm area; a surface area of at least 20 m2/g; a contact angle with a drop of water of at least 120 degrees; and can maintain the contact angle when exposed to harsh conditions.

Zinc oxide layer, including pure zinc oxide and doped zinc oxide, can be deposited with preferred crystal orientation and improved electrical conductivity by employing a seed layer comprising a metallic element. By selecting metallic elements that can easily crystallized at low temperature on glass substrates, together with possessing preferred crystal orientations and sizes, zinc oxide layer with preferred crystal orientation and large grain size can be formed, leading to potential optimization of transparent conductive oxide layer stacks.

A method for making an epitaxial structure includes the following steps. A substrate having an epitaxial growth surface is provided. A buffer layer is formed on the epitaxial growth surface. A carbon nanotube layer is placed on the buffer layer. A first epitaxial layer is epitaxially grown on the buffer layer. The substrate and the buffer layer are removed to expose a second epitaxial growth surface. A second epitaxial layer is epitaxially grown on the second epitaxial growth surface.

An object of the present invention is to effectively add Ge in the production of GaN through the Na flux method. In a crucible, a seed crystal substrate is placed such that one end of the substrate remains on the support base, whereby the seed crystal substrate remains tilted with respect to the bottom surface of the crucible, and gallium solid and germanium solid are placed in the space between the seed crystal substrate and the bottom surface of the crucible. Then, sodium solid is placed on the seed crystal substrate. Through employment of this arrangement, when a GaN crystal is grown on the seed crystal substrate through the Na flux method, germanium is dissolved in molten gallium before formation of a sodium-germanium alloy. Thus, the GaN crystal can be effectively doped with Ge.

To grow a gallium nitride crystal, a seed-crystal substrate is first immersed in a melt mixture containing gallium and sodium. Then, a gallium nitride crystal is grown on the seed-crystal substrate under heating the melt mixture in a pressurized atmosphere containing nitrogen gas and not containing oxygen. At this time, the gallium nitride crystal is grown on the seed-crystal substrate under a first stirring condition of stirring the melt mixture, the first stirring condition being set for providing a rough growth surface, and the gallium nitride crystal is subsequently grown on the seed-crystal substrate under a second stirring condition of stirring the melt mixture, the second stirring condition being set for providing a smooth growth surface.
摘要:
A low-defect-density crystalline structure comprising a first crystalline material, a layer of second crystalline material epitaxially grown on the first crystalline material, and a layer of third crystalline material epitaxially grown on the second layer such that the second layer is positioned between the first crystalline material and the third crystalline material. The second and third crystalline materials cooperate to form a desirable relationship. The crystalline structures of the second crystalline material and third crystalline material have a higher crystalline compatibility than the first crystalline material and third crystalline material. The layer of second crystalline material is sufficiently thick to form the desirable relationship with the third crystalline material but sufficiently thin for the layer of second crystalline material to be strained. The layer of third crystalline material is grown to a thickness beyond a thickness had the third layer been grown on an unstrained second layer.

摘要:
This invention relates to reusable crucibles for production of ingots of semiconductor grade silicon made of nitride bonded silicon nitride (NBSN). The crucibles may be made by mixing silicon nitride powder with silicon powder, forming a green body of the crucible, and then heating the green body in an atmosphere containing nitrogen such that the silicon powder is nitrided forming the NBSN-crucible. Alternatively the crucibles may assembled by plate elements of NBSN-material that are to be the bottom and walls of a square cross-section crucible, and optionally sealing the joints by applying a paste comprising silicon powder and optionally silicon nitride particles, followed by a second heat treatment in a nitrogen atmosphere.
