摘要： A method of forming III-V epitaxy on a germanium-on-insulator (GOI) substrate having a bonded layer and a handle substrate begins with measuring a lattice parameter of the bonded layer at a first temperature. The lattice parameter of the bonded layer, which is a function of a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the handle substrate, is then calculated at an epitaxial growth temperature. An epitaxial composition is selected from a class of III-V material for epitaxial growth overlying the bonded layer, wherein the selected epitaxial composition is adjusted to have a lattice parameter that approximates the calculated lattice parameter of the bonded layer at the epitaxial growth temperature. An epitaxial layer can then be grown over the bonded layer with use of the adjusted epitaxial composition, producing a substantially defect-free III-V epitaxial layer. Furthermore, an improved defectivity is claimed when the epitaxial layer's CTE is approximately similar to that of the handle substrate.

摘要： A method for contacting an electrically conductive layer overlying a magnetoelectronics element includes forming a memory element layer overlying a dielectric region. A first electrically conductive layer is deposited overlying the memory element layer. A first dielectric layer is deposited overlying the first electrically conductive layer and is patterned and etched to form a first masking layer. Using the first masking layer, the first electrically conductive layer is etched. A second dielectric layer is deposited overlying the first masking layer and the dielectric region. A portion of the second dielectric layer is removed to expose the first masking layer. The second dielectric layer and the first masking layer are subjected to an etching chemistry such that the first masking layer is etched at a faster rate than the second dielectric layer. The etching exposes the first electrically conductive layer.

摘要： A method of reducing an inter-atomic bond strength in a substance includes the steps of: providing a target material (110, 910, 1210, 1260, 1410, 1460); exposing the target material to a particle flood (140); and annealing the target material while exposing the target material to the particle flood. As an example, the target material can be a collection of non-activated dopant atoms within a semiconducting material. As another example, the target material can be a semiconducting material in an amorphous form. In a different embodiment of the invention an electrically conducting material (950, 1250, 1270, 1450, 1470, 1480) is used as an electron source rather than a particle flood, and an electrically conducting diffusion barrier (940) is placed between the electrically conducting material and the target material.
