    摘要: Epitaxial gallium nitride is grown on a silicon substrate while reducing or suppressing the formation of a buffer layer. The gallium nitride may be grown directly on the silicon substrate, for example using domain epitaxy. Alternatively, less than one complete monolayer of silicon nitride may be formed between the silicon and the gallium nitride. Subsequent to formation of the gallium nitride, an interfacial layer of silicon nitride may be formed between the silicon and the gallium nitride.

    摘要: Epitaxial growth of films on single crystal substrates having a lattice mismatch of at least 10% through domain matching is achieved by maintaining na.sub.1 within 5% of ma.sub.2, wherein a.sub.1 is the lattice constant of the substrate, a.sub.2 is the lattice constant of the epitaxial layer and n and m are integers. The epitaxial layer can be TiN and the substrate can be Si or GaAs. For instance, epitaxial TiN films having low resistivity can be provided on (100) silicon and (100) GaAs substrates using a pulsed laser deposition method. The TiN films were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rutherford back scattering (RBS), four-point-probe ac resistivity, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Epitaxial relationship was found to be TiN aligned with Si. TiN films showed 10-20% channeling yield. In the plane, four unit cells of TiN match with three unit cells of silicon with less than 4.0% misfit. This domain matching epitaxy provides a new mechanism of epitaxial growth in systems with large lattice misfits. Four-point probe measurements show characteristic metallic behavior of these TiN films as a function of temperature with a typical resistivity of about 15 .mu..OMEGA.-cm at room temperature.

    摘要: This invention is a new method for the formation of high-quality ohmic contacts on wide-band-gap semiconducting oxides. As exemplified by the formation of an ohmic contact on n-type BaTiO.sub.3 containing a p-n junction, the invention entails depositing a film of a metallic electroding material on the BaTiO.sub.3 surface and irradiating the film with a Q-switched laser pulse effecting complete melting of the film and localized melting of the surface layer of oxide immediately underlying the film. The resulting solidified metallic contact is ohmic, has unusually low contact resistance, and is thermally stable, even at elevated temperatures. The contact does not require cleaning before attachment of any suitable electrical lead.This method is safe, rapid, reproducible, and relatively inexpensive.

    摘要: This invention is an improved method for preparing p-n junction devices, such as diodes and solar cells. High-quality junctions are prepared by effecting laser-diffusion of a selected dopant into silicon by means of laser pulses having a wavelength of from about 0.3 to 1.1 .mu.m, an energy area density of from about 1.0 to 2.0 J/cm.sup.2, and a duration of from about 20 to 60 nanoseconds. Initially, the dopant is deposited on the silicon as a superficial layer, preferably one having a thickness in the range of from about 50 to 100 A. Depending on the application, the values for the above-mentioned pulse parameters are selected to produce melting of the silicon to depths in the range from about 1000 A to 1 .mu.m. The invention has been used to produce solar cells having a one-sun conversion efficiency of 10.6%, these cells having no antireflective coating or back-surface fields.

    摘要: This invention is a method for improving the electrical properties of silicon semiconductor material. The method comprises irradiating a selected surface layer of the semiconductor material with high-power laser pulses characterized by a special combination of wavelength, energy level, and duration. The combination effects melting of the layer without degrading electrical properties, such as minority-carrier diffusion length. The method is applicable to improving the electrical properties of n- and p-type silicon which is to be doped to form an electrical junction therein. Another important application of the method is the virtually complete removal of doping-induced defects from ion-implanted or diffusion-doped silicon substrates.
