摘要:
A semiconductor light ray deflector is presented which provides for the deflection of rays of light due to changes in the refractive index within a semiconductor caused by modulation of the distribution of excess carriers in the semiconductor.

An electroluminescent semiconductor device includes a transparent substrate having mounted on one surface a body of insulating crystalline gallium nitride and on its other surface a semiconductor diode which is capable of emitting red light. Contacts are provided for the gallium nitride body and the diode with one contact being common to each. When a voltage is applied across the gallium nitride body either blue or green light is emitted depending on the polarity of the voltage. When a voltage is applied across the diode, red light is emitted. All three colors of the emitted light can be seen through one surface of the gallium nitride body. A plurality of the electroluminescent semiconductor devices can be formed in an array to provide a flat display panel.
摘要:
AN EPITAXIAL LAYER OF GALLIUM NITRIDE IS DEPOSITED FROM A MELT CONTAINING A SMALL CONCENTRATION OF GALLIUM AND A LARGE CONCENTRATION OF A METAL OR MIXTURE OF METALS WHICH DO NOT FORM A STABLE COMPOUND WITH NITROGEN. THE MELT IS SUBJECTED TO AN ATMOSPHERE CONTAINING NITROGEN SO AS TO FORM GALLIUM NITRITE IN THE MELT. A SUBSTRATE IS BROUGHT INTO CONTACT WITH THE GALLIUM NITRITE CONTAINING MELT AND THE MELT IS COOLED TO DEPOSIT GALLIUM NITRITE FROM THE MELT ONTO THE SUBSTRATE. THE SUBSTRATE IS THEN SEPARATED FROM THE MELT.
摘要:
An electroluminescent semiconductor device including a body of crystalline gallium nitride, a layer of silicon nitride on a surface of the body, a metal layer on the silicon nitride layer and an ohmic metal contact on the body. When a bias is applied between the metal layer and the contact which with respect to the ohmic contact is first negative and then positive, ultra violet radiation will be emitted from the body.
