    Abstract: A method of forming a relaxed silicon—germanium layer for use as an underlying layer for a subsequent, overlying tensile strain silicon layer, has been developed. The method features initial growth of a underlying first silicon—germanium layer on a semiconductor substrate, compositionally graded to feature the largest germanium content at the interface of the first silicon—germanium layer and the semiconductor substrate, with the level of germanium decreasing as the growth of the graded first silicon—germanium layer progresses. This growth sequence allows the largest lattice mismatch and greatest level of threading dislocations to be present at the bottom of the graded silicon—germanium layer, with the magnitude of lattice mismatch and threading dislocations decreasing as the growth of the graded silicon—germanium layer progresses. In situ growth of an overlying silicon—germanium layer featuring uniform or non—graded germanium content, results in a relaxed silicon—germanium layer with a minimum of dislocations propagating from the underlying graded silicon—germanium layer. In situ growth of a silicon layer results in a tensile strain, low defect density layer to be used for MOSFET device applications.

    Abstract: A method of forming a relaxed silicon-germanium layer for accommodation of an overlying silicon layer formed with tensile strain, has been developed. The method features growth of multiple composite layers on a semiconductor substrate, with each composite layer comprised of an underlying silicon-germanium-carbon layer and of an overlying silicon-germanium layer, followed by the growth of an overlying thicker silicon-germanium layer. A hydrogen anneal procedure performed after growth of the multiple composite layers and of the thicker silicon-germanium layer, results in a top composite layer now comprised with an overlying relaxed silicon-germanium layer, exhibiting a low dislocation density. The presence of silicon-carbon micro crystals in each silicon-germanium-carbon layer reduces the formation of, and the propagation of threading dislocations in overlying silicon-germanium layers, therefore also reducing extension of these defects into an overlying silicon layer, wherein the tensile strained silicon layer will be used to accommodate a subsequent device structure.

    Abstract: A vertical conduction NPN bipolar transistor with a tunneling barrier of silicon carbide in the emitter providing a high emitter injection efficiency and high, stable current gain. The emitter structure comprises a heavily doped polysilicon layer atop a silicon carbide layer that contacts a shallow, heavily doped emitter region at the surface of an epitaxial silicon layer, which is disposed on a monocrystallinie silicon substrate. The silicon carbide layer is about 100 to 200 angstroms thick and has a composition selected to provide an energy band gap in the 1.8 to 3.5 eV range. The thickness and composition of the silicon carbide can be varied within the preferred ranges to tune the transistor's electrical characteristics and simplify the fabrication process.

    Abstract: An automated microscope system is described that detects dicentric chromosomes (DCs) in metaphase cells arising from exposure to ionizing radiation. The radiation dose depends on the accuracy of DC detection. Accuracy is increased using image segmentation methods are used to rank high quality cytogenetic images and eliminate suboptimal metaphase cell data in a sample based on novel quality measures. When a sufficient number of high quality images are detected, the microscope system is directed to terminate metaphase image collection for a sample. The microscope system integrates image selection procedures that control an automated digitally controlled microscope with the analysis of acquired metaphase cell images to accurately determine radiation dose. Early termination of image acquisition reduces sample processing time without compromising accuracy. This approach constitutes a reliable and scalable solution that will be essential for analysis of large numbers of potentially exposed individuals.
