摘要:
High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates such as large silicon wafers by forming a compliant substrate for growing the monocrystalline layers. An accommodating buffer layer comprises a layer of monocrystalline oxide spaced apart from a silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer of silicon oxide. The amorphous interface layer dissipates strain and permits the growth of a high quality monocrystalline oxide accommodating buffer layer. The accommodating buffer layer is lattice matched to both the underlying silicon wafer and the overlying monocrystalline material layer. Any lattice mismatch between the accommodating buffer layer and the underlying silicon substrate is taken care of by the amorphous interface layer. Electro-optic structures may be integrally provided with such semiconductor structures, which semiconductor structures may also include light-emitting devices and control circuitry.
摘要:
A semiconductor device comprising a flexible or rigid substrate (10) having a gate electrode (11) formed thereon with a source electrode (14) and a drain electrode (15) overlying the gate electrode (11) and organic semiconductor material (16) disposed at least partially thereover. The source electrode (14) and the drain electrode (15) each have a non-linear boundary segment that effectively extends the channel width between these two electrodes to thereby increase the current handling capability of the resultant device. In many of the embodiments, any of the above elements can be formed through contact or non-contact printing. Sizing of the resultant device can be readily scaled to suit various needs.

High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates such as large silicon wafers by forming a compliant substrate for growing the monocrystalline layers. An accommodating buffer layer comprises a layer of monocrystalline oxide spaced apart from a silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer of silicon oxide. The amorphous interface layer dissipates strain and permits the growth of a high quality monocrystalline oxide accommodating buffer layer. The accommodating buffer layer is lattice matched to both the underlying silicon wafer and the overlying monocrystalline material layer. Any lattice mismatch between the accommodating buffer layer and the underlying silicon substrate is taken care of by the amorphous interface layer. In addition, formation of a compliant substrate may include utilizing surfactant enhanced epitaxy, epitaxial growth of single crystal silicon onto single crystal oxide, and epitaxial growth of Zintl phase materials. Further, various shaped piezoelectric structures having optical surfaces may be disposed on the overlying monocrystalline layer for optical switching and controlled manipulation of light signals.
