摘要:
A method of growing III-N material on a silicon substrate includes the steps of epitaxially growing a single crystal rare earth oxide on a silicon substrate, epitaxially growing a single crystal rare earth nitride on the single crystal rare earth oxide, and epitaxially growing a layer of single crystal III-N material on the single crystal rare earth nitride.
摘要:
A method of forming a layer of amorphous silicon oxide positioned between a layer of rare earth oxide and a silicon substrate. The method includes providing a crystalline silicon substrate and depositing a layer of rare earth metal on the silicon substrate in an oxygen deficient ambient at a temperature above approximately 500° C. The rare earth metal forms a layer of rare earth silicide on the substrate. A first layer of rare earth oxide is deposited on the layer of rare earth silicide with a structure and lattice constant substantially similar to the substrate. The structure is annealed in an oxygen ambience to transform the layer of rare earth silicide to a layer of amorphous silicon and an intermediate layer of rare earth oxide between the substrate and the first layer of rare earth oxide.

A method of growing single crystal III-N material on a semiconductor substrate includes providing a substrate including one of crystalline silicon or germanium and a layer of rare earth oxide. A layer of single crystal III-N material is epitaxially grown on the substrate using a process that elevates the temperature of the layer of rare earth oxide into a range of approximately 750° C. to approximately 1250° C. in the presence of an N or a III containing species, whereby a portion of the layer of rare earth oxide is transformed to a new alloy.

A virtual substrate structure with a lattice matched crystalline reflector for a light emitting device including a single crystal rare earth oxide layer deposited on a silicon substrate and substantially crystal lattice matched to the silicon substrate. A reflective layer of single crystal electrically conductive material is deposited on the layer of single crystal rare earth oxide and a layer of single crystal semiconductor material is positioned in overlying relationship to the reflective layer and substantially crystal lattice matched to the reflective layer. A single crystal rare earth oxide layer is optionally deposited between the reflective layer and the layer of semiconductor material.
摘要:
A III-N on silicon substrate with enhanced breakdown voltage including a rare earth oxide structure deposited on the silicon substrate and a layer of single crystal III-N semiconductor material deposited on the rare earth oxide structure. The rare earth oxide has a dielectric constant greater (approximately twice) than the III-N semiconductor material. The rare earth oxide structure is selected to cooperate with the layer of single crystal III-N semiconductor material to reduce the thickness of the layer of single crystal III-N semiconductor material required for a selected breakdown voltage to a value less than a thickness of the layer of single crystal III-N semiconductor material for the selected breakdown voltage without the cooperating single crystal rare earth oxide.
摘要:
Infrared imaging at wavelengths longer than the silicon bandgap energy (>1100 nm) typically require expensive focal plane arrays fabricated from compound semiconductors (InSb or HgCdTe) or use of slower silicon microbolometer technology. Furthermore, these technologies are available in relatively small array sizes, whereas silicon focal plane arrays are easily available with 10 megapixels or more array size. A new technique is disclosed to up convert infrared light to wavelengths detectable by silicon focal plane arrays, or other detector technologies, thereby enabling a low-cost, high pixel count infrared imaging system.

摘要:
A sample of nonlinear optical material for use in a nonlinear optical device contains a grating comprising alternating regions of inverted and non-inverted nonlinear coefficient of the material, with the regions separated by boundaries positioned such that the grating can provide quasi-phase matching of a selected nonlinear optical interaction, and compensate for phase mismatch arising from the Gouy phase shift of one or more focused optical beams involved in the interaction. The boundary positions can be calculated for second harmonic generation or optical parametric generation and oscillation.
