摘要:
A novel method for synthesizing device-quality alloys and ordered phases in a Si—Ge—Sn system uses a UHV-CVD process and reactions of SnD4 with SiH3GeH3. Using the method, single-phase SixSnyGe1-x-y semiconductors (x≦0.25, y≦0.11) are grown on Si via Ge1-xSnx buffer layers The Ge1-xSnx buffer layers facilitate heteroepitaxial growth of the SixSnyGe1-x-y, films and act as compliant templates that can conform structurally and absorb the differential strain imposed by the more rigid Si and Si—Ge—Sn materials. The SiH3GeH3 species was prepared using a new and high yield method that provided high purity semiconductor grade material.

A SiGe spacer layer 151, a graded SiGe base layer 152 including boron, and an Si-cap layer 153 are sequentially grown through epitaxial growth over a collector layer 102 on an Si substrate. A second deposited oxide film 112 having a base opening portion 118 and a Pnull polysilicon layer 115 that will be made into an emitter connecting electrode filling the base opening portion are formed on the Si-cap layer 153, and an emitter diffusion layer 153a is formed by diffusing phosphorus into the Si-cap layer 153. When the Si-cap layer 153 is grown, by allowing the Si-cap layer 153 to include boron only at the upper part thereof by in-situ doping, the width of a depletion layer 154 is narrowed and a recombination current is reduced, thereby making it possible to improve the linearity of the current characteristics.

A substrate processing apparatus for forming a boron doped silicon-germanium film on one or more substrates in a reaction furnace of a low pressure CVD apparatus uses a mixture gas of GeH4 and SiH4 as a reaction gas, and BCl3 as a doping gas. The substrate processing apparatus includes a plurality of gas outlets for supplying GeH4 at different locations in the reaction tube and a doping gas line for supplying BCl3 at least at an upstream side of gas flow in the reaction tube.

There is a method for forming a multilayer electronic device. The method has the following steps: a) depositing a thin molecular layer on an electrically conductive substrate and b) depositing metal atoms or ions on the thin molecular layer at an angle of about 60 degrees or less with respect to the plane of the exposed surface of the thin molecular layer.

A junction field effect transistor and method for making is described incorporating horizontal semiconductor layers within an opening to form a channel and a semiconductor layer through which the opening was made which forms a gate electrode surrounding the channel. The horizontal semiconductor layers may be a SiGe alloy with graded composition near the source and drain. The invention overcomes the problem of forming low resistance JFET's and provides a gate length that is easily scaleable to submicron dimensions for rf, microwave, millimeter and logic circuits without short channel effects.

A high gain, high frequency transistor is formed having a combination of a moderately doped retrograde emitter and a collector which is formed by self-aligned implantation through an emitter opening window. This combination allows continued base width scaling and ensures high current capability yet limits the electric field at the emitter-base junction, particularly near the base contacts, in order to reduce leakage and capacitance and to enhance breakdown voltage. Cut-off frequencies on the order of 100 GHz can thus be obtained in the performance of a transistor with a 30 nm base width in a SiGe device.

An ohmic contact to a p-type zinc selenide (ZnSe) layer in a Group II-VI semiconductor device, includes a zinc telluride selenide (ZnTe.sub.x Se.sub.1-x) layer on the zinc selenide layer, a mercury selenide (HgSe) layer on the zinc telluride selenide layer and a conductor (such as metal) layer on the mercury selenide layer. The zinc telluride selenide and mercury selenide layers between the p-type zinc selenide and the conductor layer provide an ohmic contact by eliminating the band offset between the wide bandgap zinc selenide and the conductor. Step graded, linear graded, and parabolic graded layers of zinc telluride selenide may be provided. An integrated heterostructure is formed by epitaxially depositing the ohmic contact on the Group II-VI device. A removable overcoat layer may be formed on the Group II-VI device to allow room temperature atmospheric pressure transfer of the device from a zinc based deposition chamber to a mercury based deposition chamber, for deposition of the ohmic contact. A large area emitter may be formed by limiting the thickness of the mercury selenide layer so that optical radiation passes therethrough. A high efficiency optical emitter may be provided by using zinc telluride selenide or zinc sulfur telluride selenide to form an isoelectronic trap which produces broad and intense light output in the blue/green region.
摘要:
A heterojunction bipolar transistor having a single-crystal emitter with reduced charge storage and acceptable current gain is described herein. The heterojunction transistor comprises a collector region, a base region formed on the collector region, and a single-crystal emitter region grown on the base region by low temperature epitaxy. During the formation of the base region, a graded profile of 5-23% germanium is added to the base, as the distance to the collector region decreases, thereby decreasing the base bandgap as it approaches the collector region. Further, during the formation of the emitter region, a graded profile of 0-20% germanium is added to the emitter as the distance from the emitter-base junction increases. Thus, the emitter bandgap decreases as it moves farther from the emitter-base junction. The result of the above grading profiles is that the emitter bandgap is narrower at the emitter contact than the base bandgap at the emitter-base junction.
