A semiconductor laser device comprises a substrate (7) formed of p type GaAs, a laser diode portion (10) capable of laser oscillation and a monitor photodiode portion (11) capable of photoelectric conversion formed on substrate (7). The laser diode portion (10) and the monitor photodiode portion (11) are both formed of an epitaxial separating layer (6) of p type AlAs, an epitaxial layer group (23) mainly formed of a material of AlGaAs system and an epitaxial window layer (9) formed on a cleavage plane of this epitaxial layer group (23).

Abstract:
The manufacture of semiconductor systems by means of radiation lithography requires low-stress masks when it is important to achieve very fine structures. In accordance with the invention, such a mask comprises a carrier of boron-doped silicon, a radiation absorbing pattern consisting of a double layer of different metals, such as molybdenum and tungsten, or a double layer of layers of the same metal, such as molybdenum, which are deposited in a different manner.
Abstract:
A dynamic read/write memory cell of the one transistor N-channel silicon gate type is made by an improved process employing selective oxidation of polysilicon using PN junction capacitors. A relatively flat surface results from the process, which is favorable to patterning small geometries. The PN junction storage capacitors have improved alpha particle protection. Metal-to-polysilicon gate contacts are made at silicide areas over polysilicon gates; the silicide lowers resistance of the poly elements.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which comprises the steps of: forming on a semiconductor substrate a layer of a material more quickly oxidizable than the semiconductor substrate; selectively oxidizing only that portion of the layer which is mounted on the element region of the semiconductor substrate; removing at least part of said oxidized layer; and wet oxidizing the retained portion of said more oxidizable material layer to provide an element-isolating oxide layer.
Abstract:
CMOS source/drain regions of both conductivity types are formed using only a single masking step. One dopant is applied to both types of source/drain regions, and a second dopant is applied at a much higher dose and energy to only one type of source/drain region.Preferably, boron and arsenic are used as the dopants in silicon, since the cooperative doping effect causes the boron in the counterdoped source/drain regions to be entirely contained within the arsenic diffusion.
Abstract:
Method for manufacturing dynamic RAM one-transistor storage cells in a semiconductor chip with each cell having one integrated field effect transistor and one integrated capacitor. A semiconductor substrate surface is covered in part by a thin oxide layer and in part by a thick oxide structure. The thin oxide layer is subjected to a first ion implantation. A doped polycrystalline semiconductor material is deposited over the entire surface. The polycrystalline layer is structured by means of a photoresist mask and the underlying layers at the open places etched away to expose substrate surface. The mask is removed. A second thin oxide layer is created by oxidation over the entire surface. A second ion implantation implants ions in the second oxide layer. A second doped layer of polycrystalline material is deposited over the second layer. The second polycrystalline layer is structured by a suitable phototechnique to produce a polycrystalline structure semiconductor layer.
Abstract:
CMOS transistors are fabricated in a P substrate by applying a first mask with an opening for introducing N type impurities to form a well, applying a second mask layer of oxidation inhibiting material over the region in which the transistors are to be formed; applying a third mask layer over the well, introducing P type impurities into the surface of the substrate using the second and third masking layers to form a guard ring except in the N- well regions and the regions in which the N channel MOS transistors are to be formed, oxidizing the substrate using said second mask to form a thick oxide layer on said substrate except on the transistor regions with the guard ring vertically displaced from the regions in which the transistors are to be formed, introducing P impurities in the channel region of the CMOS transistors and forming CMOS transistors in said transistor regions.A CMOS process capable of the fabrication of N and P channel devices with channel lengths down to the submicron region by the proper adjustment of doping levels and implant doses in the N type well and the P and N channel regions, with no major changes in the basic process flow.
