    Abstract: A charge injection transistor is a real-space electron transfer heterostructure with several novel features. The channel layer is comprised of In.sub.0.25 Ga.sub.0.75 As supported by a buffer layer of Al.sub.0.3 Ga.sub.0.7 As resting on the substrate. A barrier layer comprised of Al.sub.0.1 Ga.sub.0.9 As overlays the channel layer. Over this barrier is a layer of GaAs forming the electron drift region. The collector electrode is located on top of this drift layer, between the source and heater electrodes, which extend downward through the drift and barrier layers and create the electric field in the channel layer. Positive voltages are applied to the heater and collector, relative to the source. Electrons flow through the channel region and become heated. At sufficiently high temperature they escape over the barrier and travel through the drift region to the collector. In comparison with previous devices, the use of InGaAs in the channel layer provides a deeper quantum well for the conduction electrons, and suppresses leakage through the barrier at room temperatures. The collector drift layer has a short transit time delay. The location of the collector reduces parasitic leakage from the source, and the collector capacitance is small. These features enhance the high frequency performance of the device. The limiting power gain frequency and current gain frequency are at least twice the corresponding values attained in previous devices.

    Abstract: Techniques for controlling the size and/or distribution of a catalyst nanoparticles on a substrate are provided. The catalyst nanoparticles comprise any species that can be used for growing a nanostructure, such as a nanotube, on the substrate surface. Polymers are used as a carrier of a catalyst payload, and such polymers self-assemble on a substrate thereby controlling the size and/or distribution of resulting catalyst nanoparticles. Amphiphilic block copolymers are known self-assembly systems, in which chemically-distinct blocks microphase-separate into a nanoscale morphology, such as cylindrical or spherical, depending on the polymer chemistry and molecular weight. Such block copolymers are used as a carrier of a catalyst payload, and their self-assembly into a nanoscale morphology controls size and/or distribution of resulting catalyst nanoparticles onto a substrate.

    Abstract: A semiconductor diode for providing a reduced recovery time at room temperature independent of any minority carrier recombination. The diode of the present invention comprises a first semiconductor material having a type of majority carriers and having a sub-band ordering associated with the majority carriers. The diode further comprises a second semiconductor material contacting the first material at a heterojunction, the second semiconductor material having the same type of majority carriers as the first semiconductor material and having a sub-band ordering associated with the majority carriers that is different from that of the first semiconductor material. It is theorized that the semiconductor diode of the present invention has a recovery time dependent upon scattering of carriers to various energy sub-bands within a heterojunction of the two different semiconductor materials. The diode of the present invention provides a reduced recovery time since a time of such scattering is extremely short.

    Abstract: A heterojunction for a semiconductor device. The heterojunction has a first region formed from a first semiconductor material having a first conductivity type, a second region formed from a second semiconductor material having a second conductivity type, and an intermediate layer between the first region and the second region. The band line-up of the first region, the intermediate layer, and the second region has no bound states in its conduction band and no bound states in its valence band. The intermediate layer has a thickness small enough to allow electrons to tunnel from the first region to the second region with negligible attenuation. The semiconductor device may be a heterojunction bipolar transistor. The conduction band of the intermediate layer has a higher energy level than the conduction bands of the first and second regions.

    Abstract: A method for planarizing a substrate surface having a non-planar surface topography comprises forming a material layer over the substrate, the material layer having a surface topography, determining the surface topography of the material layer, and forming a mask using information relating to the surface topography of the material layer. The mask defines portions of averaging regions of the material layer for selective removal to equalize the averaging regions in average height, the averaging regions having a maximum dimension. The material layer is etched using the mask, and a planarizing layer is formed over the substrate surface. The planarizing layer provides a low-pass lateral filtering effect characterized by a length greater than the maximum dimension of the averaging region. The mask is created by determining the localized height of the material layer across a surface and using the mask to etch away corresponding portions of the material layer so that the average surface of the material layer approximates a planar surface. The surface of the second material layer is substantially planar. The system and method for planarizing a material layer provides for forming a substantially planar layer of material over a non-planar topography.

    Abstract: A room temperature high speed transistor that does not suffer deleterious effects from plasmon scattering. The transistor of the present invention comprises a semiconducting base region having a type of majority carriers and sub-band ordering associated with the majority carriers. The transistor further comprises a semiconducting collector region contacting the base region at a collector-base heterojunction, the semiconducting collector region having the same type of majority carriers as the semiconducting base region and having a sub-band ordering different than that of the base region. The transistor further comprises a semiconducting emitter region contacting the base region at an emitter-base heterojunction, the semiconducting emitter region having the same type of majority carriers as the semiconducting base region. In active operation of the transistor of the present invention, carriers are injected from a main sub-band in the emitter region into a satellite sub-band the base region. The carriers are then transported from the satellite sub-band in the base region to a main sub-band in the collector region. Intravalley scattering processes, including plasmon scattering, are not deleterious in the present invention because the carriers injected into satellite sub-band of the base region are successful collected in the main sub-band of the collector region independent of any energy lost through the intravalley scattering.
