摘要:
Improvements on the graphoepitaxial process for obtaining epitaxial or preferred orientation films are described wherein a cap of material is formed over the film to be oriented, artificial surface-relief structure may be present in the substrate, the cap, or both, and the film may be heated by irradiation with electromagnetic radiation.
摘要:
Improvements to graphoepitaxy include use of irradiation by electrons, ions or electromagnetic or acoustic radiation to induce or enhance the influence of artificial defects on crystallographic orientation; use of single defects; and use of a relief structure that includes facets at 70.5 and/or 109.5 degrees.
摘要:
A process for entraining dislocations and other crystalline defects in a thin film includes coating a substrate, such as a layer of thermally grown silicon dioxide on a silicon wafer with the thin film of polycrystalline or amorphous silicon in the thickness range 0.05-10.mu. deposited by chemical vapor deposition. An encapsulation layer that is a composite of 2 .mu.m thickness SiO.sub.2, 30 nm of Si.sub.3 N.sub.4 is deposited on the thin film. A pattern of stripes is created on this encapsulation layer made of materials, such as titanium, silicon, silicon dioxide and photoresist. A long and narrow molten zone is created in the film with its long axis oriented perpendicular to the lines and is moved with a movable strip-heater over in a direction parallel to the lines in the recrystallization process to establish the dislocation and other crystalline defects in the film entrained to follow the pattern of stripes at locations related to the stripes.

摘要:
A substrate is coated with a film to be recrystallized. A pattern of crystallization barriers is created in the film, for example, by etching voids in the film. An encapsulation layer is generally applied to protect the film, fill the voids and otherwise enhance a recrystallization process. Recrystallization is carried out such that certain orientations pass preferentially through the barrier, generally as a result of growth-velocity anisotropy. The result is a film of a specific predetermined crystallographic orientation, a range of orientations or a set of discrete orientations.
摘要:
A Silicon photodetector contains an insulating substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface. A Silicon layer is located on the top surface of the insulating substrate, where the Silicon layer contains a center region, the center region being larger in thickness than the rest of the Silicon layer. A top Silicon dioxide layer is located on a top surface of the center region. A left wing of the center region and a right wing of the center region are doped. The Silicon photodetector also has an active region located within the center region, where the active region contains a tailored crystal defect-impurity combination and Oxygen atoms.
摘要:
An ionic liquid-channel charge-coupled device that separates ions in a liquid sample according to ion mobility characteristics includes a channel having an inner wall that has a matrix liquid disposed within. An insulating material surrounds the channel, and an introduction element introduces a liquid sample into the channel. The sample is preferably a liquid solution that has at least one ionic specie present in the solution. The device further includes a gating element that establishes at least one charge packet in the channel in response to an externally applied input signal, and a transport element that induces the charge packet to migrate through the channel. The gate element can be a plurality of spaced-apart, electrically conductive, gate structures that are alternately disposable between a high voltage state and a low voltage state. The transport element further includes an application element that applies a variable voltage to the gating element. This application of voltage induces the charge packets to form under the gate structures and, when the voltage applied to an adjacent gate has a higher potential, induces the packet to migrate through the channel in that direction.
摘要:
A surface-emission cathode formed on an insulating surface having cantilevered, i.e. “undercut,” electrodes. Suitable insulating surfaces include negative electron affinity (NEA) insulators such as glass or diamond. The cathode can operate in a comprised vacuum (e.g., 10−7 Torr) with no bias on the electrodes and low vacuum electric fields (e.g., at least 10 V cm−1). Embodiments of the present invention are inexpensive to fabricate, requiring lithographic resolution of approximately 10 micrometers. These cathodes can be formed over large areas for use in lighting and displays and are suitable for satellite applications, such as cathodes for tethers, thrusters and space-charging neutralizers.

摘要:
Fabrication of an electron-emitting device entails distributing electron-emissive carbon-containing particles (22) over a non-insulating region (12). The particles can be made electron emissive after the particle distributing step. Particle bonding material (24) is typically provided to bond the particles to the non-insulating region. The particle bonding material can include carbide formed by heating or/and can be created by modifying a layer (32) provided between the non-insulating region and the particles. In one embodiment, the particles emit electrons primarily from graphite or/and amorphous carbon regions. In another embodiment, the particles are made electron-emissive prior to the particle distributing step.
