    摘要: A programmable read only memory (PROM) includes a first plurality of conductive lines, a second plurality of conductive lines and polycrystalline silicon material therebetween. At the crossing points of the first and second plurality of lines doped regions are provided in the polycrystalline silicon in contact with a second line and which extend at least partially through the material. To provide a diode interconnect at any crossing point, the associated region is irradiated by a laser beam to either cause diffusion of dopant atoms to the underlaying conductive line or activate implanted ions, thereby electrically interconnecting the first and second lines through a diode. The PROM is readily fabricated as part of a monolithic integrated circuit or electrical array and can be programmed after completion of the fabrication process.

    摘要: Low resistance, doped polycrystalline semiconductor connection patterns are fabricated by scanning a doped polycrystalline layer with a laser beam thereby increasing the crystal grain size, reducing defects in the grains, increasing charge carrier mobility and as a result reducing material resistivity. Semiconductor devices having increased circuit density and speed are realized through use of laser annealed polycrystalline semiconductor resistors, contacts and interconnections.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a method of fabricating devices and circuits employing at least one heteroepitaxial layer under strain. The thickness of the heteroepitaxial layer is more than two times the calculated equilibrium critical thickness for an uncapped heteroepitaxial layer upon a crystalline substrate, based on previously known equilibrium theory for the uncapped layer. Subsequent to growth of the heteroepitaxial layer, the structure is processed at temperatures higher than the growth temperature of the heteroepitaxial layer.The strained heteroepitaxial layer (second layer) is epitaxially grown upon the surface of a first, underlaying crystalline layer, creating a heterojunction. Subsequently a third crystalline layer is deposited or grown upon the major exposed surface of the second, strained heteroepitaxial layer. The preferred manner of growth of the third crystalline layer is epitaxial growth. The composition of the third crystalline layer must be such that upon deposition or growth, the third layer substantially continuously binds to the heteroepitaxial structure of the second layer. Subsequent to growth of the at least three layer structure, the structure is processed at temperatures in excess of the growth temperature of the second heteroepitaxial layer. Presence of the third crystalline layer prevents the generation of a substantial amount of misfit dislocations between the first crystalline layer substrate and the second heteroepitaxial layer.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of welding a temperature-sensing thermocouple to a silicon wafer for sensing the temperature of the wafer during rapid thermal processing using TIG welding and/or electron-beam welding. In one embodiment, a ball of silicon is formed on the bead at one end of a thermocouple by placing the thermocouple on a silicon chip and then melting the silicon chip with a TIG welder. The ball and thermocouple are then placed on the surface of a silicon wafer and the ball and surface are then melted whereby the ball of silicon flows into the silicon wafer. In placing the thermocouple on an edge portion of a silicon wafer, the wafer is supported on a tantalum plate with the edge portion of the wafer extending beyond the plate. A molybdenum sheet is positioned on the top surface of the wafer with the edge portion of the wafer exposed. A TIG arc is established with the molybdenum layer and then the arc is moved to the edge portion of the wafer for melting the silicon. In attaching the thermocouple on the silicon wafer other than on an edge portion, electron-beam welding is employed. An electron beam at low power is focused on the ball of silicon, and then the power of the electron beam is increased while the beam is pulsed so that the ball and adjacent silicon wafer are melted.
