    摘要: Reactors for growing epitaxial layers on substrates are disclosed including rotatable substrate carriers and injectors for injecting gases into the reactor towards the substrates on the carriers and including a gas separator for separately maintaining various gases between gas inlets and the injector. Various reactor embodiments are disclosed including removable gas separators, and particular injectors which include cooling channels, as well as flow restrictors mounted within the reactors to restrict the flow of the gases to the substrates from the injector, and heaters mounted within the rotatable shell holding the substrate carriers so that the heaters can be accessed and removed through a lid forming a wall of the reactor.

    摘要: An apparatus for evaluating an associated semiconductor sample having two electrically distinct regions with a junction region disposed therebetween includes a laser for injecting carriers into a sample region, an electrical bias for impressing electrical fields on the sample, and a detector for detecting luminescence. A second laser is provided for injecting carriers into a second sample region opposite the first region. A method includes the steps of: optically generating carriers in a region, generating a drift field in the region that effectuates carrier drift toward the junction, and measuring the optical radiation generated by carrier recombination in the junction region. Preferably, the method also includes optically generating carriers in a second region and generating a drift field in the second region that effectuates carrier drift toward the junction. Typically, the two drift fields are generated together by applying voltage between the two regions.

    摘要: A method for separating a semiconductor wafer into several thousand devices or dies by laser ablation. Semiconductor wafers are initially pre-processed to create multiple devices, such as blue LEDs, on the wafers. The wafers are then mounted with tape coated with a generally high level adhesive. The mounted wafer is then placed on a vacuum chuck (which is itself positioned on a computer controlled positioning table) to hold it in place during the cutting process. The cutting surface is then covered with a protective layer to prevent contamination from the effluent resulting from the actual cutting process. A laser beam is generated and passed through optical elements and masks to create a pattern, such as a line or multiple lines. The patterned laser projection is directed at the wafer at a substantially normal angle and applied to the wafer until at least a partial cut is achieved through it. A mechanical separation process completes the separation when only a partial cut is achieved by the patterned laser projection. The dies are then transferred to a grip ring for further processing.

    摘要: Selective epitaxy for indium phosphide in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition is possible by using a specific technique. In particular, a halogenated organic material is introduced with the InP precursors. This halogen-containing material should decompose to release halogen at approximately the same temperature that the metalorganic indium precursor decomposes. Through this process the manufacture of InP-based lasers is significantly enhanced and allows the use of reactive ion etching to form structures upon which InP regrowth is desired.

    摘要: A metal layer is formed on a surface of a Group III-V compound semiconductor by placing the surface in contact with a metal-containing solution and directing laser radiation through the solution. The radiation has a wavelength which is absorbed in the surface, thereby thermally inducing a chemical reaction between the surface and the solution and causing metal from the solution to be deposited on the surface. Specific examples of the deposition of Pt, Au and Zn on InP and GaAs are described.
