    摘要: Methods for forming {110} type facets on a (001) oriented substrate of Group III-V compounds and Group IV semiconductors using selective epitaxial growth is provided. The methods include forming a dielectric film on a (100) substrate. The dielectric film can then be patterned to expose a portion of the substrate and to form a substrate-dielectric film boundary substantially parallel to a direction. A {110} type sidewall facet can then be formed by epitaxially growing a semiconductor layer on the exposed portion of the substrate and the dielectric film.

    摘要: A method of epitaxial growth of cubic phase, nitrogen-based compound semiconductor thin films on a semiconductor substrate, for example a substrate, which is periodically patterned with grooves oriented parallel to the crystal direction and terminated in sidewalls, for example sidewalls. The method can provide an epitaxial growth which is able to supply high-quality, cubic phase epitaxial films on a silicon substrate. Controlling nucleation on sidewall facets, for example , fabricated in every groove and blocking the growth of the initial hexagonal phase at the outer region of an epitaxial silicon layer with barrier materials prepared at both sides of each groove allows growth of cubic-phase thin film in each groove and either be extended to macro-scale islands or coalesced with films grown from adjacent grooves to form a continuous film. This can result in a wide-area, cubic phase nitrogen-based compound semiconductor film on a substrate.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an electromagnetic energy detector. The detector can include a substrate having a first refractive index; a metal layer; an absorber layer having a second refractive index and disposed between the substrate and the metal layer; a coupling structure to convert incident radiation to a surface plasma wave; additional conducting layers to provide for electrical contact to the electromagnetic energy detector, each conducting layer characterized by a conductivity and a refractive index; and a surface plasma wave (“SPW”) mode-confining layer having a third refractive index that is higher than the second refractive index disposed between the substrate and the metal layer.

    摘要: Exemplary embodiments provide semiconductor nanowires and nanowire devices/applications and methods for their formation. In embodiments, in-plane nanowires can be epitaxially grown on a patterned substrate, which are more favorable than vertical ones for device processing and three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuits. In embodiments, the in-plane nanowire can be formed by selective epitaxy utilizing lateral overgrowth and faceting of an epilayer initially grown in a one-dimensional (1D) nanoscale opening. In embodiments, optical, electrical, and thermal connections can be established and controlled between the nanowire, the substrate, and additional electrical or optical components for better device and system performance.
