    摘要: A process and apparatus for depositing a film from a gas involves introducing the gas to a deposition environment containing a substrate, heating the substrate, and irradiating the gas with radiation having a preselected energy spectrum, such that a film is deposited onto the substrate. In a preferred embodiment, the energy spectrum of the radiation is below or approximately equal to that required to photochemically decompose the gas. In another embodiment, the gas is irradiated through a transparent member exposed at a first surface thereof to the deposition environment, and a flow of substantially inert gaseous material is passed along the first surface to minimize deposition thereon.

    摘要: A process for making amorphous semiconductor alloy films and devices at high deposition rates utilizes microwave energy to form a deposition plasma. The alloys exhibit high quality electronic properties suitable for many applications including photovoltaic applications.The process includes the steps of providing a source of microwave energy, coupling the microwave energy into a substantially enclosed reaction vessel containing the substrate onto which the amorphous semiconductor film is to be deposited, and introducing into the vessel reaction gases including at least one semiconductor containing compound. The microwave energy and the reaction gases form a glow discharge plasma within the vessel to deposit an amorphous semiconductor film from the reaction gases onto the substrate. The reactions gases can include silane (SiH.sub.4), silicon tetrafluoride (SiF.sub.4), silane and silicon tetrafluoride, silane and germane (GeH.sub.4), and silicon tetrafluoride and germane. The reaction gases can also include germane or germanium tetrafluoride (GeF.sub.4). To all of the foregoing, hydrogen (H.sub.2) can also be added. Dopants, either p-type or n-type can also be added to the reaction gases to form p-type or n-type alloy films, respectively. Also, band gap increasing elements such as carbon or nitrogen can be added in the form of, for example, methane or ammonia gas to widen the band gap of the alloys.

    摘要: A low pressure process for making amorphous semiconductor alloy films and devices at high deposition rates and high gas conversion efficiencies utilizes microwave energy to form a deposition plasma. The alloys exhibit high-quality electronic properties suitable for many applications including photovoltaic and electrophotographic applications.The process includes the steps of providing a source of microwave energy, coupling the microwave energy into a substantially enclosed reaction vessel containing the substrate onto which the amorphous semiconductor film is to be deposited, introducing into the vessel at least one reaction gas and evacuating the vessel to a low enough deposition pressure to deposit the film at high deposition rates with high reaction gas conversion efficiencies without any significant powder or polymeric inclusions. The microwave energy and the reaction gases form a glow discharge plasma within the vessel to deposit an amorphous semiconductor film from the reaction gases onto the substrate. The reaction gases can include silane (SiH.sub.4), silicon tetrafluoride (SiF.sub.4), silane and silicon tetrafluoride, silane and germane (GeH.sub.4), and silicon tetrafluoride and germane. The reaction gases can also include germane or germanium tetrafluoride (GeF.sub.4). To all of the foregoing, hydrogen (H.sub.2) can also be added.

    摘要: A microactuator comprises a mounting block, a head suspension, a compliant joint for connecting the mounting block to the head suspension, and a piezoelectric element for deforming the compliant joint in order to rotate the head suspension with respect to the mounting block. An encapsulant covers an exposed surface of the microactuator. The encapsulant comprises a self-assembled monolayer formed of an organosilicone or organosilane, where the self-assembled monolayer has a self-limiting thickness of one layer of a molecule.

    摘要: A method of handling a wafer for through-wafer plasma etching includes lateral support provided between a handle wafer and a product wafer without wafer bonding or an adhesive film using mating mechanical structures. The product wafer is easily separated from the handle wafer following etching without stripping or cleaning. Because the connection between the wafers is mechanical, not from an adhesive layer/bonded layer, a wafer can be etched, inspected, and subsequently continue to be etched without the hindrance of repeated bonding, separation, and cleaning. A non-bonded support for released devices following a through-etch process is also provided.

    摘要: A microactuator is formed by defining stator and rotor regions on a wafer. Isolation barriers are formed in the stator and rotor regions to define a isolation regions. Conductive suspension beam are formed between the first and second isolation regions, and wafer material between the stator and rotor regions is removed to form a stator and a rotor. The microactuator is arranged to position a load device having an electrical component. The suspension beams support the rotor and load device and provide electrical connection between the stator and rotor for the microactuator and/or the load device.
