    摘要: A magnetic head slider having a protective coating on the rails thereof, the protective coating comprising a thin adhesion layer and a thin layer of amorphous hydrogenated carbon. The protective coating is deposited on the air bearing surface of the slider after the thin film magnetic heads are lapped to a chosen dimension, but before the pattern of rails is produced on the air bearing surface. The protective coating protects the magnetic head during the rail fabrication process and in usage in a magnetic recording system protects the magnetic head from wear and corrosion damage.

    摘要: A method is described for fabricating electroluminescent devices exhibiting visible electroluminescence at room temperature, where the devices include at least one doped layer of amorphous hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H). The a-Si:H layer is deposited on a substrate by homogeneous chemical vapor deposition (H-CVD) in which the substrate is held at a temperature lower than about 200.degree. C. and the a-Si:H layer is doped in-situ during deposition, the amount of hydrogen incorporated in the deposited layer being 12-50 atomic percent. The bandgap of the a-Si:H layer is between 1.6 and 2.6 eV, and in preferrable embodiments is between 2.0 and 2.6 eV. The conductivity of the a-Si:H layer is chosen in accordance with device requirements, and can be 10.sup.16 -10.sup.19 carriers/cm.sup.2. The bandgap of the a-Si:H layer depends at least in part on the temperature of the substrate on which the layer is deposited, and can be "tuned" by changing the substrate temperature.

    摘要: A homojunction bipolar transistor having a superlattice base region comprising alternate layers of extrinsic and intrinsic layers, with extrinsic layers being of the opposite conductivity of the emitter and collector layers of the transistor. The alternate extrinsic and intrinsic layers have substantially different doping levels providing abrupt transitions in the valence and conduction bands between layers. The abrupt transitions result in the energy band gap in the base region being effectively reduced with respect to the band gap in the emitter region. In one embodiment, the effective narrow band gap base transistor is implemented by converting a portion of the upper layers of the superlattice to a homogeneous region by heavily doping the portion to form the emitter of the transistor.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for depositing single crystal, epitaxial films of silicon on a plurality of substrates in a hot wall, isothermal deposition system is described. The deposition temperatures are less than about 800.degree. C., and the operating pressures during deposition are such that non-equilibrium growth kinetics determine the deposition of the silicon films. An isothermal bath gas of silicon is produced allowing uniform deposition of epitaxial silicon films simultaneously on multiple substrates. This is a flow system in which means are provided for establishing an ultrahigh vacuum in the range of about 10.sup.-9 Torr prior to epitaxial deposition. The epitaxial silicon layers can be doped in-situ to provide very abruptly defined regions of either n- or p-type conductivity.
