    摘要: An n-type cladding layer, the first guiding layer, an active layer, the second guiding layer, a p-type cladding layer, a backing layer, a contact layer, a superlattice layer and a cap layer are stacked in this order on an n-type substrate. The cap layer comprises p-type ZnTe and has a thickness of less than 10 nm. The contact layer is comprised of p-type ZnSe and the concentration of nitrogen added to the contact layer is in the range of 1 to 2×1018 cm−3. The backing layer comprises p-type ZnSSe mixed crystal and the concentration of nitrogen added to the backing layer is higher than that of the contact layer, in the range of 1 to 3×1018 cm−3. Before the corresponding Group II-VI compound semiconductor layers are grown by the MBE method, the temperature of cells is once increased. The operating voltage of the semiconductor light emitting device can be lowered by increasing the carrier concentrations of the Group II-VI compound semiconductor layers between the p-side electrode and the p-type cladding layer.

    摘要: In a thin film forming method of the invention, an atmosphere for a base as a thin film forming target is set to a high vacuum of, e.g., 0.01 Torr or less, and a gas of an organometallic compound and an oxidizing gas are introduced onto a base surface heated to about 450° C., to form a plurality of crystal nuclei, made of an oxide of a metal constituting the organometallic compound, on the base surface. The atmosphere for the base is then set to a lower vacuum than the first vacuum degree, and the gas of the organometallic compound and the oxidizing gas are subsequently introduced onto the base surface heated to about 45° C., to form a film made of the oxide of the metal there. In the above process, in the first step, the vacuum degree is set to a vacuum degree at which the oxide of the metal is formed by crystal growth on surfaces of different materials at the first temperature, and the plurality of crystal nuclei are formed at a high density so that a crystal grain which is formed by growing a crystal nucleus comes into contact with a crystal grain growing from an adjacent crystal nucleus. In the subsequent step, the temperature for the base is set to less than a temperature at which the oxide of the metal is formed by crystal growth on the surfaces of the different materials.

    摘要: A method of controlling the relative amounts of silicon dopant inside and outside of an enhanced growth region on an indium phosphide substrate using a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process. The method includes the steps of positioning the indium phosphide substrate in a reactor chamber, and defining an enhanced growth region on the substrate by depositing a dielectric mask on the substrate. The indium phosphide substrate is heated to a growth temperature of between about 600 and 630° C., and the pressure in the reactor chamber is adjusted to between about 40 and 80 Torr. A first gas contains a metalorganic compound comprising indium and a hydrogen carrier gas flow of between about 12 and 16 liters/minute, and a second gas containing a phosphide and a doping gas containing a silicon dopant at a flow rate of between are introduced into the reactor chamber. The first and second gases are mixed in the chamber and forced over the substrate in a laminar flow such that the mixed convection parameter is between about 0.31 and 0.33. An n-type indium phosphide epitaxial layer is thereby grown over the substrate by reacting the first with the second gas and thermally decomposing the carrier gas, whereby areas inside and outside of the growth enhanced region contain substantially the same amount of silicon dopant.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing and calibrating a scale in the nanometer range for technical devices which are used for the high-resolution or ultrahigh-resolution imaging of structures, and such a scale. To construct the scale, at least two different crystalline or amorphous materials are used, which, when imaged, are easily distinguished from one another by their contrast. These material layers are deposited using a suitable material deposition method as a heterolayer sequence onto a substrate material. The produced heterolayer sequence is characterized experimentally using an analysis method that is sensitive to the individual layer thicknesses of the heterolayer sequence. The data obtained from the analysis method are evaluated and recorded. The layer structure is exposed by splitting open the heterolayer sequence in the deposition direction. The scale is suited for calibrating technical devices used for scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, or scanning probe microscopy (atomic force microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy).

    摘要: Methods of growing silicon carbide are provided in which an electric arc is used to sublime a silicon carbide source material. In these embodiments, a silicon carbide seed crystal is introduced into a sublimation system, along with first and second electrodes that are separated by a gap. A power supply is coupled to at least one of the electrodes and used to create an electric arc across the gap between the two electrodes. This electric arc is used to sublime at least a portion of a silicon carbide source material. The vaporized silicon carbide material may then be encouraged to condense onto a seed material to produce monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon carbide. In embodiments of the present invention, at least one of the electrodes is comprised of silicon carbide and serves as the silicon carbide source material.
