    Abstract: Manufacturers encounter limitations in forming low resistance ohmic electrical contact to semiconductor material P-type Gallium Nitride (p-GaN), commonly used in photonic applications, such that the contact is highly transparent to the light emission of the device. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can address this problem due to their combined metallic and semiconducting characteristics in conjunction with the fact that a fabric of CNTs has high optical transparency. The physical structure of the contact scheme is broken down into three components, a) the GaN, b) an interface material and c) the metallic conductor. The role of the interface material is to make suitable contact to both the GaN and the metal so that the GaN, in turn, will make good electrical contact to the metallic conductor that interfaces the device to external circuitry. A method of fabricating contact to GaN using CNTs and metal while maintaining protection of the GaN surface is provided.

    Abstract: A solid state microanemometer (10) is micromachined from a crystal to a shape with four thick external sides (14, 15, 16, 17) that define an outer rectangle, four thin sections (24, 25, 26, 27) that define an inner rectangle and four diagonally directed branches (18, 19, 20, 21) interconnecting the corners of the outer rectangle to the inner rectangle. Four semiconductor resistors (34, 35, 36, 37) located on the four inner sections (24, 25, 26, 27) form a sensing bridge. Each external side (14, 15, 16, 17) has a pair of electrical contacts (43 and 44, 51 and 52, 59 and 60, 67 and 68) that are electrically interconnected, via conductive leads (39 and 40, 47 and 48, 55 and 56, 63 and 64) that extend along the diagonal branches and partially along the inner sections, to one of the semiconductor resistors (34, 35, 36, 37). The physically connected semiconductor resistors (34, 35, 36, 37) and external sides (14, 15, 16, 17) form a rugged solid state device (10), while thermal and electrical isolation of the resistors (34, 35, 36, 37) from each other permits higher operating temperatures and improved fluid flow sensing capability.

    Abstract: Bulk crystalline silicon wafers are transferred after the completion of circuit fabrication to form thin films of crystalline circuitry on almost any support, such as metal, semiconductor, plastic, polymer, glass, wood, and paper. In particular, this technique is suitable to form silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers, whereby the devices and circuits formed exhibit superior performance after transfer due to the removal of the silicon substrate. The added cost of the transfer process to conventional silicon fabrication is insignificant. No epitaxial, lift-off, release or buried oxide layers are needed to perform the transfer of single or multiple wfers onto support members. The transfer process may be performed at temperatures of 50 DEG C or less, permits transparency around the circuits and does not require post-transfer patterning. Consequently, the technique opens up new avenues for the use of integrated circuit devices in high-brightness, high-resolution video-speed color displays, reduced-thickness increased-flexibility intelligent cards, flexible electronics on ultrathin support members, adhesive electronics, touch screen electronics, items requiring low weight materials, smart cards, intelligent keys for encryption systems, toys, large area circuits, flexible supports, radiation-hard circuits and other applications. The added process flexibility also permits a cheap technique for increasing circuit speed of market driven technologies such as microprocessors at little added expense. Using these techniques, radiation hardened circuits can be produced.

    Abstract: A micromechanical tuning fork gyroscope (14) fabricated by a dissolved silicon wafer process whereby electrostatic bonding forms a hermetic seal between an etched glass substrate (12), metal electrodes (202) deposited thereon, and a silicon comb-drive tuning fork gyroscope (14). The dissolved silicon wafer process involves single-sided processing of a silicon substrate (100), including the steps of etching recesses (102), diffusing an etch resistant dopant (104) into the silicon substrate (100), and releasing various components of the silicon gyroscope (14) by etching through the diffusion layer (104) in desired locations (106). The glass substrate (12) also undergoes single-sided processing, including the steps of etching recesses, depositing a multi-metal system in the recesses (200), and selectively etching portions of the multi-metal system (202). One substrate (100) is inverted over the other (12) and aligned before anodic bonding of the two substrates is performed.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor devices makes use of the fact that the isotropic etching rate of a semiconductor layer, e.g., a polycrystalline or amorphous silicon layer, depends upon the doping amount of an impurity in the semiconductor layer. A semiconductor layer (26) formed on a substrate (4) is doped with an impurity such that the impurity concentration distribution is formed in the direction of depth of the semiconductor layer (26). In a region of the semiconductor layer (26) to be selectively removed, anisotropic etching is carried out such that a high-impurity concentration portion is removed and a portion is left in direction of depth of the semiconductor layer (26). Thereafter, the remaining portion is removed by isotropic etching, thereby suppressing side etching.
