摘要: A method for crystal analysis includes identifying a crystalline region on a device where an electronic channeling pattern is needed to be determined, acquiring a whole image for each of a plurality of different positions for the crystalline region using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) as the crystalline region is moved to different positions. Relevant regions are extracted from the whole images. The images of the relevant regions are stitched together to form a composite map of a full electron channeling pattern representative of the crystalline region wherein the electronic channeling pattern is provided due to an increase in effective angular range between a SEM beam and a surface of the crystal region.

摘要: Embodiments are directed to a method of passivating a surface of a high-mobility semiconductor and resulting structures having a reduced interface defect density. A semiconductor layer is formed on a substrate. A surface of the semiconductor layer is contacted with a sulfur source including thiourea at a temperature of up to about 90 degrees Celsius to form a sulfur passivation layer on the surface of the semiconductor layer. A dielectric layer is formed on the sulfur passivation layer and a minimum of interface trap density distribution at an interface between the semiconductor layer and the dielectric layer is less than about 2.0×1011 cm−2eV−1.

摘要: Provided is a light emitting semiconductor structure that operates as a light emitting diode (LED). In embodiments of the invention, the light emitting semiconductor structure includes a first barrier region, a second barrier region, and a single quantum well having a preselected thickness between the first barrier region and the second barrier region. The preselected thickness according to embodiments is selected to achieve a predetermined charge density in the quantum well. The predetermined charge density according to embodiments results from a predetermined bias current applied to the semiconductor structure. The predetermined bias current according to embodiments comprises less than about 1 mA.

摘要: A photovoltaic device including a photovoltaic cell and method of use is disclosed. The photovoltaic cell includes at least a first photovoltaic layer and a second photovoltaic layer arranged in a stack. The first photovoltaic layer has a first thickness and receives light at its top surface. A second photovoltaic layer has a second thickness and is disposed beneath the first photovoltaic layer and receives light passing through the first photovoltaic layer. The first thickness and the second thickness are selected so that a first light absorption at the first photovoltaic layer is equal to a second light absorption at the second photovoltaic layer. The photovoltaic cell is irradiated at its top surface with monochromatic light to generate a current.

摘要: A method for reducing crystalline defects in a semiconductor structure is presented. The method includes epitaxially growing a first crystalline material over a crystalline substrate, epitaxially growing a second crystalline material over the first crystalline material, and patterning and removing portions of the second crystalline material to form openings. The method further includes converting the first crystalline material into a non-crystalline material, depositing a thermally stable material in the openings, depositing a capping layer over the second crystalline material and the thermally stable material to form a substantially enclosed semiconductor structure, and annealing the substantially enclosed semiconductor structure.
