The semiconductor device arranged as a HEMT is made to include an operating region composed of multilayer films, such as a channel layer, an electron supplying layer and other semiconductor layer, and having an island structure independently mesa-isolated from one another. The semiconductor device also includes a gate electrode and an impurity diffusion layer provided on the surface of the operating region, the impurity diffusion layer being doped with an impurity having a conductivity type inverse to the impurity doped into the electron supplying layer.

A hybrid focal plane array has Hg.sub.1-x Cd.sub.x Te junction photodiodes formed in a substrate of HgCdTe which is capped by a layer of Te-rich CdTe. Type conversion of a low metal vacancy HgCdTe substrate to p-type is performed by annealing the capped substrate at a temperature sufficient to support interdiffusion between the Te-rich CdTe capping layer and the HgCdTe substrate. Use of the CdTe capping layer with a slight excess Te maintains the surface of the HgCdTe substrate in a Te-rich phase condition.

The invention relates to a method of making a semiconductor integrated circuit device, and aims at diminishing the size of the isolating region which isolates the adjacent semiconductor elements from each other. The method of the invention has the steps of forming on a substrate a deposition layer of diffused impurities of different conductivity type from that of the substrate, forming a masking film having apertures on the deposition layer, effecting an etching through making use of the masking film as the diffusion mask, so as to etch the portions of the deposition layer and the substrate under the apertures, thereby to form grooves which divide the deposition layer into island-like deposition layer sections, and stretching and diffusing the impurities in each island-like deposition layer section to form a diffusion layer which constitutes a part of a semiconductor element.

P-N JUNCTIONS ARE FORMED BY SIMULTANEOUS DOPING OF A THIN SURFACE LAYER OF AN N-TYPE ZINC SELENIDE SUBSTRATE WITH ZINC AND WITH GALLIUM, INDIUM OR THALLIUM. DOPING MAY BE EFFECTED BY VAPOR PHASE IN-DIFFUSION OR BY SUBMERSION OF THE SUBSTRATE IN AN ALLOY MELT CONTAINING BOTH DOPANTS.

A semiconductor device comprising a metallized layer formed on a silicon substrate, wherein said metallized layer is an aluminum alloy consisting essentially of aluminum, silicon and at least one element selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, chromium, tungsten, and phosphorus the amount of silicon being 1.0% to 3.0% by weight, the amount of said selected element corresponding to the relative service life required of the metallized layer, said required service life being 10 times that of a metallized layer having the same composition as that of the above-mentioned metallized layer except for being free from said element, and the rest being aluminum. For example, the metallized layer may contain at least 0.04% and less than 0.10% by weight of titanium, 1.0% by weight of silicon, and the rest aluminum.

Disclosed is a maskless metal cladding process for plating an existing metallurgical pattern by utilizing a protective layer to isolate those areas of underlying metallurgy on which additional metal plating is not desired. The layer acts as an isolation barrier to protect the underlying metallurgy from deposition and subsequent diffusion of the heavy metal (e.g., gold) overlay. The composition of the protective layer is selected as one having sufficient mechanical integrity to withstand process handling and support the gold overlay and having the thermal integrity to withstand the high temperatures reached during metal sputtering and diffusion processes. The isolation barrier layer has an organic component as a binder which thermally decomposes, either in a heating step before metal deposition or during the diffusion cycle, leaving no carbonaceous residue but leaving an inert, inorganic standoff to support the metal. After diffusion of the metal, the remaining inorganic standoff layer, overlying metal and any undiffused metal remaining on the non-patterned substrate is easily removed by a standard technique, such as ultrasonics.
摘要:
A semiconductor device having a multi-level metallization system wherein the first level is of aluminum containing up to 3 of percent silicon and the second level is either aluminum or aluminum containing silicon in an amount less than that contained in the first level. The two levels where they contact each other are sintered together with some of the silicon from the first level being diffused into the second level so that the second level has a region adjacent the junction between the two levels which has a higher content of silicon than the remaining portion of the second level. When making the device, the surface of the first level where it is to be joined with the second level is etched to remove some of the aluminum, but not the silicon, which roughens this surface. The second level is applied on this roughened surface and the device is heated to sinter the two levels together and diffuse the silicon into the second level.

PN-junctions are formed in a wide band gap zinc chalcogenide (i.e., zinc selenide, zinc sulfide or a zinc sulfo-selenide by pre-doping a surface layer of an N-doped zinc chalcogenide substrate by in-diffusion of a Group III metal to condition it for conversion to P-type conductivity, and converting the predoped surface layer to P-type conductivity by doping it with zinc. The pre-doping and conversion steps may be conducted either simultaneously or sequentially. Well defined PN-junctions are produced, with majority carrier concentrations on the Pconductivity side of the junction of at least 1016 to 1017 holes per cubic centimeter.
