    摘要: A bonded structure is described consisting of a semiconductor wafer, preferably gallium arsenide, soldered to a substrate material. A method for forming the structure is also described. The structure provides mechanical support and thermal conductivity for the wafer, as well as a multitude of connections through the substrate material at predetermined locations on the wafer. The substrate material and the soldering process are selected to minimize the resulting stresses in the wafer. A pattern of pads consisting of a refractory metal covered by a solder material is formed on the substrate to maintain space for excess solder in order to avoid the shorting of the individual connections on the wafer, and to control the size and location of voids in the solder upon solidification.

    摘要: A high peak power microwave generator is disclosed in which a plurality of transmission lines are connected to an output wave guide at predetermined intervals along the direction of propagation. Each transmission line is periodically charged, and this electromagnetic energy is released into the wave guide upon the actuation of a light activated silicon switch (LASS) diode connected to the transmission line. The LASS diodes are actuated simultaneously by a laser beam which traverses equal optical paths to each switch. The coincident switching of the transmission lines enables the power in each line to be additive in the wave guide, and much higher output pulses can be obtained. Further, the high speed switching capabilities afforded by the LASS diodes means that the resulting high power can be obtained at a much higher frequency.

    摘要: A semiconductor device and particularly a self-aligned Schottky barrier gate field-effect transistor is made by epitaxial growth of facets corresponding to the source and drain regions on a surface of a semiconductor body through spaced apart preferably elongated windows in a masking layer and overgrowing edge portions of the masking layer at the windows to form overgrown portions on the facets. The channel region of the transistor is previously formed in the semiconductor body, preferably by epitaxial growth of a layer on a surface of a semiconductor body having a semi-insulating layer adjoining the surface. After removal of the masking layer, the Schottky barrier gate is self-aligned by deposition of metal on the unshielded portions of the planar surface between the facets.

    摘要: Electrical interconnection paths or vias are provided through relatively thick type III/V semiconductive substrates, such as gallium arsenide, to permit through the substrate electrical interconnection of planar transistor devices. The vias are etched in a two-step process which ensures that the via lateral dimensions are less than the transistor contacts with which they are aligned. The first step comprises selectively thinning the thick substrate from the back surface over an area which encompasses the transistor array formed in the front surface of the substrate. The second step is to etch the individual vias through this prior thinned substrate at areas aligned with the transistor contacts.
