    摘要: A high dielectric rare earth oxide of the form Mn2O3 (such as, for example, Gd2O3 or Y2O3) is grown on a clean silicon (100) substrate surface under an oxygen partial pressure less than or equal to 10−7 torr to form an acceptable gate oxide (in terms of dielectric constant (∈˜18) and thickness) that eliminates the tunneling current present in ultra-thin conventional SiO2 dielectrics and avoids the formation of a native oxide layer at the interface between the silicon substrate and the dielectric. Epitaxial films can be grown on vicinal silicon substrates and amorphous films on regular silicon substrates to form the high dielectric gate oxide.

    摘要: We have found that a single crystal, single domain oxide layer of thickness less than 5 nm can be grown on a (100) oriented GaAs-based semiconductor substrate. Similar epitaxial oxide can be grown on GaN and GaN-based semiconductors. The oxide typically is a rare earth oxide of the Mn2 0 3 structure (e.g., Gd2O3). The oxide/semiconductor interface can be of high quality, with low interface state density, and the oxide layer can have low leakage current and high breakdown voltage. The low thickness and high dielectric constant of the oxide layer result in a MOS structure of high capacitance per unit area. Such a structure advantageously forms a GaAs-based MOS-FET.

    摘要: A glove box filter system for filtering out particles from a glove box environment defined in a glove box having an outlet and an inlet. The filter system includes a first filter stage for receiving removed gas from the glove box environment. The first filter stage contains a chamber having a first filter through which the removed gas passes for filtering out particles contained in the removed gas. The filtered gas is provided to a circulation conduit connected to a blower for providing movement of the gas through the glove box environment. A second filter stage connected to the glove box inlet is provided for fine-filtering the gas passed by the first filter stage prior to the return of the gas to the glove box environment. The first filter stage is connected to the glove box environment through one or more valves which isolate the first filter stage from the glove box environment when replacement of a first filter contained in the first filter stage occurs. A purging conduit is also provided for purging the first filter stage chamber of particles during replacement of the first filter.

    摘要: The specification describes a method for the manufacture of fluoride glass optical fibers which are covered with a protective coating of phosphate glass. The coating is produced by dipping the fluoride glass preform in a phosphate glass melt prior to drawing the optical fiber. The fluoride glass is ZBLAN. The phosphate glass has a glass transition temperature below 200.degree. C., which allows the dipping step to be carried out at a relatively low temperature where the preform temperature is maintained well below the crystallization temperature of the fluoride glass, and also where the viscosity of the fluoride glass preform is substantially higher than the viscosity of the phosphate glass coating material.
