Abstract:
A method for producing a transistor structure utilizing ion implantation, comprising the steps of implanting ions of baseforming impurity into a predetermined portion of a surface of a semiconductor body serving as a collector and heated to a temperature above 600* C. but below the melting point of the semiconductor to form a base region, and thereafter implanting ions of emitter-forming impurity into a predetermined portion of the surface of said base region heated to a temperature in the range of 400* to 600* C. to form an emitter region.
Abstract:
A uniformly and perfectly amorphous GaP is obtained by irradiating a GaP body with N ions of 200 KeV, at a current density of 1 Mu A/cm2, by an amount of 5 X 1015/cm2, thereby forming a disordered state of GaP in the body to a depth of about 0.5 Mu m from its surface, and heating said GaP body at 430*C which is higher than a transition temperature of GaP from the disordered state to the amorphous state and lower than a crystallization temperature of GaP, for 10 minutes within an argon gas.
Abstract:
A solid state spectrometer utilizing the photoelectric conversion phenomena in the inversion layers of MOS elements, in which a crystal wafer containing a large number of MOS elements is cooled to low temperatures and different gate voltages are applied to the respective elements so that the elements exhibit sharp and mutually different absorption edges for incident infrared rays. The difference between the channel currents flowing in each pair of elements having adjacent absorption edges is derived and a large number of such channel current differences and the corresponding gate voltages are simultaneously scanned and applied to an oscilloscope, whereby the infrared intensity distribution of the incident infrared rays is shown on the face of a cathode-ray tube.
Abstract:
A device using a MOS structure element, in which the element is cooled to such a low temperature that substantially all of the carriers in the inversion layer populate in the ground level of the quantized energy levels formed in that layer in order that the energization of the electric field or the radiation causes the resonance transition, and in which an infrared or far infrared radiation beam directed to that layer is spectrally detected or amplified by the variation in the channel current or the stimulated emission both of which are caused by the change in the carrier population due to the resonance transition.
Abstract:
A pn junction layer is formed in a semiconductor body having a forbidden band the width of which is greater than the photon energy of an irradiated light beam. The pn junction is forwardly biased through transparent electrodes provided on the opposite principal surfaces to inject carriers at a concentration of the order of 1018 to 1022 cm 3. The refractive index of the semiconductor body is varied according to the carrier concentration to arbitrarily deflect the incident light beam.
Abstract:
A device for detecting small signals of a microwave, millimeter wave and the like level, wherein a detector element is composed of a III-V group semiconductor compound selected from the group consisting of N-type InSb and InAs, and is conditioned so as to be in the state of the quantum limit. The device is responsive to signals having a high speed and/or a broad range of power.
