An integrated optical waveguide has a first optical waveguide, a second optical waveguide, and a groove. The second optical waveguide is coupled to the first optical waveguide and has a refractive index that is different from the first optical waveguide. The groove is disposed so as to traverse an optical path of the first optical waveguide and is separated from an interface between the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide by a predetermined spacing. The spacing from the interface and the width of the groove are determined such that reflection at a boundary between the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide is weakened. A semiconductor board may be disposed at a boundary between the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide. In this case, the width of the groove and the thickness of the semiconductor board are determined such that light reflected off an interface between the first optical waveguide and the groove is weakened by light reflected from an interface between the groove and the semiconductor board, and by light reflected from an interface between the semiconductor board and the second optical waveguide.

A HEMT-type field-effect semiconductor device has a main semiconductor region formed on a silicon substrate. The main semiconductor region is a lamination of a buffer layer on the substrate, an electron transit layer on the buffer layer, and an electron supply layer on the electron transit layer. A source and a drain overlie the electron supply layer. A carrier storage layer overlies the electron supply layer via an insulator, and a gate overlies the carrier storage layer via another insulator. Upon application of an initialiser voltage to the gate, the carrier storage layer has stored therein a sufficient amount of carriers to hold the device off even without voltage application to the gate. An initialiser circuit is also disclosed whereby the device is initialized automatically for normally-off operation.

Methods and systems for multiperiod, edge definition lithography are disclosed. According to one method, a first material is isotropically deposited on a substrate and on a field mesa also located on the substrate. The first masking material is then anisotropically removed from the substrate to leave a nanometer-pitched sidewall adjacent to the field mesa. A second masking material is then isotropically deposited on the substrate, the sidewall, and the field mesa. The second masking material is then anisotropically removed from the substrate to leave a second nanometer-pitched sidewall adjacent to the first sidewall. The process may be repeated to create alternating nanometer-pitched sidewalls of the first and second masking materials. One of the first and second masking materials may then be etched from the substrate to leave nanometer-pitched channels in one of the masking materials. The channels may be used to etch nanometer-pitched features in the substrate.

SiC MESFETs are disclosed which utilize a semi-insulating SiC substrate which substantially free of deep-level dopants. Utilization of the semi-insulating substrate may reduce back-gating effects in the MESFETs. Also provided are SiC MESFETs with a two recess gate structure. MESFETS with a selectively doped p-type buffer layer are also provided. Utilization of such a buffer layer may reduce output conductance by a factor of 3 and produce a 3 db increase in power gain over SiC MESFETs with conventional p-type buffer layers. A ground contact may also be provided to the p-type buffer layer and the p-type buffer layer may be made of two p-type layers with the layer formed on the substrate having a higher dopant concentration. SiC MESFETs according to embodiments of the present invention may also utilize chromium as a Schottky gate material. Furthermore, an oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) passivation layer may be utilized to reduce surface effects in SiC MESFETs. Also, source and drain ohmic contacts may be formed directly on the n-type channel layer, thus, the n+ regions need not be fabricated and the steps associated with such fabrication may be eliminated from the fabrication process. Methods of fabricating such SiC MESFETs and gate structures for SiC FETs as well as passivation layers are also disclosed.
