摘要:
The present invention provides a method of passivating an oxide compound disposed on a III-V semiconductor substrate. The method is intended for use with dielectric stacks, gallate compounds, and gallium compounds used in gate quality oxide layers. The method includes heating a semiconductor structure at an elevated temperature of between about 230° C. and about 400° C. The semiconductor structure is exposed to an atmosphere that is supersaturated with water vapor or vapor of deuterium oxide. The exposure takes place at elevated temperature and continues for a period of time between about 5 minutes to about 120 minutes. It has been found that the method of the present invention results in a semiconductor product that has significantly improved performance characteristics over semiconductors that are not passivated, or that use a dry hydrogen method of passivation.

A compound semiconductor structure is provided, which includes a GaAs-based supporting semiconductor structure having a surface on which a dielectric material is to be formed. A first layer of gallium oxide is located on the surface of the supporting semiconductor structure to form an interface therewith. A second layer of a Ga—Gd oxide is disposed on the first layer. The GaAs-based supporting semiconductor structure may be a GaAs-based heterostructure such as an at least partially completed semiconductor device (e.g., a metal-oxide field effect transistor, a heterojunction bipolar transistor, or a semiconductor laser). In this manner a dielectric layer structure is provided which has both a low defect density at the oxide-GaAs interface and a low oxide leakage current density because the dielectric structure is formed from a layer of Ga2O3 followed by a layer of Ga—Gd-oxide. The Ga2O3 layer is used to form a high quality interface with the GaAs-based supporting semiconductor structure while the Ga—Gd-oxide provides a low oxide leakage current density.

A multi-chip lighting emitting device (LED) lamp for providing white light includes a submount including first and second die mounting regions thereon. A first LED chip is mounted on the first die mounting region, and a second LED chip is mounted on the second die mounting region. The LED lamp is configured to emit light having a spectral distribution including at least four different color peaks to provide the white light. For example, a first conversion material may at least partially cover the first LED chip, and may be configured to absorb at least some of the light of the first color and re-emit light of a third color. In addition, a second conversion material may at least partially cover the first and/or second LED chips, and may be configured to absorb at least some of the light of the first and/or second colors and re-emit light of a fourth color. Related light fixtures and methods are also discussed.
