    摘要: A method of forming a silicon nitride layer or film on a semiconductor wafer structure includes forming a silicon nitride layer on the surface of a wafer structure using a molecular beam of high purity elemental Si and an atomic beam of high purity nitrogen. In a preferred embodiment, a III-V compound semiconductor wafer structure is heated in an ultra high vacuum system to a temperature below the decomposition temperature of said compound semiconductor wafer structure and a silicon nitride layer is formed using a molecular beam of Si provided by either thermal evaporation or electron beam evaporation, and an atomic nitrogen beam provided by either RF or microwave plasma discharge.

    摘要: A method of preparing crystalline alkaline earth metal oxides on a Si substrate wherein a Si substrate with amorphous silicon dioxide on a surface is provided. The substrate is heated to a temperature in a range of 700.degree. C. to 800.degree. C. and exposed to a beam of alkaline earth metal(s) in a molecular beam epitaxy chamber at a pressure within approximately a 10.sup.-9 -10.sup.-10 Torr range. During the molecular beam epitaxy the surface is monitored by RHEED technique to determine a conversion of the amorphous silicon dioxide to a crystalline alkaline earth metal oxide. Once the alkaline earth metal oxide is formed, additional layers of material, e.g. additional thickness of an alkaline earth metal oxide, single crystal ferroelectrics or high dielectric constant oxides on silicon for non-volatile and high density memory device applications.

    摘要: A method of fabricating a gate quality oxide-compound semiconductor structure includes forming an insulating Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 layer on the surface of a compound semiconductor wafer structure by a supersonic gas jet containing gallium oxide molecules and oxygen. In a preferred embodiment, a III-V compound semiconductor wafer structure with an atomically ordered and chemically clean semiconductor surface is transferred from a semiconductor growth chamber into an insulator deposition chamber via an ultra high vacuum preparation chamber. Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 deposition onto the surface of the wafer structure is initiated by a supersonic gas jet pulse and proceeds via optimization of pulse duration, speed of gas jet, mole fraction of gallium oxide molecules and oxygen atoms, and plasma energy.

    摘要: A production process for protecting the surface of compound semiconductor wafers includes providing a multi-wafer epitaxial production system with a transfer and load module, a III-V growth chamber and an insulator chamber. The wafer is placed in the transfer and load module and the pressure is reduced to .ltoreq.10.sup.-10 Torr, after which the wafer is moved to the III-V growth chamber and layers of compound semiconductor material are epitaxially grown on the surface of the wafer. The wafer is then moved through the transfer and load module to the insulator chamber and an insulating cap layer is formed by thermally evaporating gallium oxide molecules from an effusion cell using an evaporation source in an oxide crucible, which oxide crucible does not form an eutectic alloy with the evaporation source
