摘要:
A magnetoresistance-effect sensor for use in a magnetic domain detector for reading data recorded on magnetic tapes or in magnetic bubble memories mainly consists of a layer of semiconductor material which carries a layer of ferrimagnetic material on one face and at least one pair of electrodes disposed along an axis OX on the other face, the layer of ferrimagnetic material being placed in proximity to the magnetic data carrier. A magnetic data item thus induces a magnetic field in the layer of semiconductor material in a direction OY perpendicular to the axis OX of the pair of electrodes.

A component of semiconductor material deposited by epitaxial growth on a substrate having a predetermined and different lattice parameter consists of an alternate succession of layers of a first type and layers of a second type deposited on the substrate. The lattice parameter of the first type of layers is substantially matched with the lattice parameter of the substrate. In the case of the second type of layers, the lattice parameter is matched and even equal to that of the first type of layers. A component having a lattice parameter equal to that of the second type of layers is formed on the last layer of the second type. Moreover, the energy gaps of the two types of layers are different.

The invention pertains to a method for the manufacture of a magnetic head, and a magnetic head in which this method is applied, a method which, after the head is manufactured, provides for a stage for making a mechanically shielding layer of a material such that the bonding coefficient is high, i.e. such that the chemical valencies with respect to the material forming the head is close to one.The invention can be applied in particular, to the manufacture of magnetic heads in thin layers for reading/writing on magnetic tapes.

The subject invention comprises the realization of P-on-N type II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes. A high-quality InAsSb layer lattice-mismatched to GaSb is used as a buffer to prepare the surface of the substrate prior to superlattice growth. The InAsSb layer also serves as an effective n-contact layer. The contact layer has been optimized to improve device performance, most notably performance that is similar to traditional N-on-P structures.

An Al-free VCSEL is grown by MOCVD procedure by growing GaInP/GaAs as a conventional distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) 36 or less periods are then formed as the active layer. The DBRs are composed of repeating layers of a 69 nm period of GaAs and a 76 nm period of InGaP to form a superlattice as quarter wave thickness stacks. After the lower layer of n-type DBR is deposited by MOCVD, a lift-off procedure opens up windows in an evaporated layer of SiO2. The active region and upper p-type DBR is then deposited by MOCVD.

InAsSb/InAsSbP/InAs Double Heterostructures (DH) and Separate Confinement Heterostructure Multiple Quantum Well (SCH-MQW) structures are taught wherein the ability to tune to a specific wavelength within 3 .mu.m to 5 .mu.m is possible by varying the ratio of As:Sb in the active layer. Further, the active layer of a DH structure can be doped with a p-type dopant, so that the dopant level of the active layer is at least one magnitude less than the dopant level of either confinement layer and the n-p junction is within the active layer and a higher power level and better efficiency is observed. A perfect lattice matching of the InAsSb contact layers and InAsSbP confinement layer of a DH structure is found to minimize the dislocation density at the InAsSb/InAsSbP interface. Decreasing the band-offset between the active layer and the confinement layers increases the brightness of the laser. A SCH laser of the subject invention can obtain a minimum discontinuity of conduction band between the confinement layers and the waveguide by adjusting the thickness of the waveguide and the number of quantum wells. The wavelength of the emitted light can be controlled, over the range of 3 .mu.m to 5 .mu.m by changing the material composition of the active layer, by changing the thickness of the quantum well, or by changing both parameters.
