    摘要: A semiconductor diode for an injection laser characterized by a pn junction which has a lower threshold value for the diode current and/or which diode is capable of continuous operation at room temperature or above. The radiation producing range or zone of the pn junction has a variation in the concentration of doping with the variation being spatial and periodic. Variations have a maximum concentration of doping in a range of about 1016 through 1020 parts per cubic centimeter, a ratio of maximum concentration to minimum concentration of at least 2:1, and a distance between maximum concentrations, in the order of between 10 and 500 atomic distances in the lattice of the crystal. The variations in the concentration of the doping provides one or more interference bands in the forbidden band located between the conduction band and the valence band. An interference band is adjacent the edge of either the valence or the conduction band and the doping substance is selected in such a way that the transition probability for transit between the conduction band or valence band and the adjacent interference band is essentially larger than for inter-band recombination. To produce the semiconductor material for the diode, the doping material concentration is varied during the growth of the crystal. For example, if the crystal is grown from a gas phase by an epitaxial deposition, the concentration of doping material in the gas phase is varied with respect to the desired periodicity and with respect to the speed and time for the growth of the crystal. If the crystal is formed by epitaxial deposition of the material from the liquid phase, the variation in doping is caused by variations in the cooling speed with respect to the speed of the growth of the crystal. The periodic doping can be varied also by selection of the rate of cooling by selection of speed of rotation and by excentricity of the crystal pulled from a melt or by growing the crystal with a spiraling growth.

    摘要: Shallow regions are formed in a semiconductor body by irradiating the surface region with a pulsed laser beam in an atmosphere including the dopant. The pulsed laser beam has sufficient intensity to drive in dopant atoms from the atmosphere but insufficient intensity to melt the semiconductor material. A silicide layer can be placed over the surface of the semiconductor material prior to irradiation with the dopant being driven from the atmosphere through the silicide into the surface region of the semiconductor body. Alternatively, the silicide layer can include dopant atoms prior to irradiating the surface region.

    摘要: High efficiency GaAs Schottky barrier IMPATT diodes comprising a non-uniformly doped depletion region are fabricated by instantaneously injecting a known volume of a known concentration of dopant at a known pressure during chemical vapor deposition epitaxial growth of the n layer forming the depletion region. This technique has yielded n layers 150 Angstroms thick, doped to carrier concentration values as high as 1018 cm 3, with precise control of the position of the n layer within the depletion region.
