    摘要: A system for making porous silicon on blank and patterned Si substrates by "immersion scanning", particularly suitable for fabricating light-emitting Si devices and utilizing an open electrolytic cell having a cathode and an opposing anode consisting of a Si substrate on which the porous silicon is to be formed, both disposed, with their opposing surfaces in parallel, in an aqueous HF solution electrolyte contained in the cell. The substrate anode is mounted to be movable relative to the electrolyte so as to be mechanically cycled or scanned in and out of the electrolyte at a programmable rate during anodization. The uniformity, thickness and porosity of the resulting anodized layer on the substrate are determined by the scanning speed, number of cycles, current density, and HF-based electrolyte parameters of the system, and the Si substrate resistivity, conductivity type, and crystal orientation. The light-emitting silicon devices produced incorporate porous silicon layers and are operable at room temperature.

    摘要: Silicon-VLSI-compatible photodetectors, in the form of a metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector (MSM-PD) or a lateral p-i-n photodetector (LPIN-PD), are disclosed embodying interdigitated metallic electrodes on a silicon surface. The electrodes of the MSM-PD have a moderate to high electron and hole barrier height to silicon, for forming the Schottky barriers, and are fabricated so as to be recessed in the surface semiconducting layer of silicon through the use of self-aligned metallization either by selective deposition or by selective reaction and etching, in a manner similar to the SALICIDE concept. Fabrication is begun by coating the exposed Si surface of a substrate with a transparent oxide film, such that the Si/oxide interface exhibits low surface recombination velocity. The interdigitated pattern is then etched through the oxide film by lithography to expose the Si surface and metallic electrode members are formed selectively in the exposed Si surface, using self-aligned metallization to produce thin interdigitated electrodes recessed below the silicon surface, which itself may be on a comparatively thin Si layer. The electrodes may be spaced to minimize the interdigital carrier transit time and maximize the sensitivity and the entire process and structure are compatible with conventional silicon integrated circuit (IC) technology. A further feature involves isolating the semiconductor surface layer from the substrate by a layer that may be either 1) transparent and insulating, 2) optically absorbing, or 3) optically reflecting, so that the photocarriers recombine before they can be collected by the field. In the latter case, the photodetector acts as a resonant cavity, resulting in an increase in the number of carriers that are generated, and hence a more sensitive device.

    摘要: A charge electrode array for use in an ink jet printing apparatus is formed by anisotropic etching of apertures through a single crystal silicon substrate of (110) orientation. Conductive diffusion layers in the walls of and adjacent to the apertures permit a charge to be placed on a jet stream passing through the apertures. Contacts can be formed on the adjacent diffusion layers to provide connection to an externally located charging circuit or the contacts may be omitted when the charging circuit is formed in the substrate itself and connected by diffusion or a metal layer to each adjacent diffusion layer. Jet nozzles and synchronization electrodes are shown incorporated in the charge electrode array to form a monolithic structure capable of performing a plurality of functions. Substrate contacts are also provided for biasing.

    摘要: A method, including a sequence of process steps, for fabricating insulated gate field effect transistors having very short effective channel lengths. In a first version of the method, the source and drain regions of the device are opened in one process step and self-alignment of the source and the drain to the gate is achieved in one masking step. The drain region is then masked and the source side of the channel is implanted to adjust the threshold voltage of the high threshold voltage channel region. In a second version of the method, the source region is opened and self-aligned with the gate prior to the opening of drain region. Implantation to adjust the threshold voltage of the high threshold voltage channel region takes place before the drain region is opened, and then the drain region is opened and self-aligned with the gate in a further masking step. In either version, the threshold voltage is adjustable and the channel length is controlled to be a small value.
