A graphite capping layer has been evaluated to protect the surface of patterned and selectively implanted 4H–SiC epitaxial wafers during post-implantation annealing. AZ-5214E photoresist was spun and baked in vacuum at temperatures ranging from 750 to 850 °C to form a continuous coating on both planar and mesa-etched SiC surfaces with features up to 2 µm in height. Complete conversion of the hydro...
Wafer-scale arrays of well-ordered Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 nanodiscs and nanorings were fabricated on the entire area (10 mm × 10 mm) of the SrRuO3 bottom electrode on an SrTiO3 single-crystal substrate using the laser interference lithography (LIL) process combined with pulsed laser deposition. The shape and size of the nanostructures were controlled by the amount of PZT deposited through the patterned ...
Direct wafer bonding technology is able to integrate two smooth wafers and thus can be used in fabricating III–V multijunction solar cells with lattice mismatch. In order to monolithically interconnect between the GaInP/GaAs and InGaAsP/InGaAs subcells, the bonded GaAs/InP heterojunction must be a highly conductive ohmic junction or a tunnel junction. Three types of bonding interfaces were designe...
The recent advances in epitaxial SiC films' growth on Si are overviewed. The basic classical methods currently used for SiC films' growth are discussed and their advantages and disadvantages are explored. The basic idea and the theoretical background for a new method of the synthesis of epitaxial SiC films on Si are given. It will be shown that the new method is significantly different from the cl...
It is still a great challenge for semiconductor based-devices to obtain a large magnetoresistance (MR) effect under a low magnetic field at room temperature. In this paper, the photoinduced MR effects under different intensities of illumination at room temperature are investigated in a semi-insulating gallium arsenide (SI-GaAs)-based Ag/SI–GaAs/Ag device. The device is subjected to the irradiation...
InAs segments were grown on top of GaAs islands, initially created by droplet epitaxy on silicon substrate. We systematically explored the growth-parameter space for the deposition of InAs, identifying the conditions for the selective growth on GaAs and for purely axial growth. The axial InAs segments were formed with their sidewalls rotated by 30$^{{}^\circ }$ compared to the GaAs base islands un...
This paper proposes a new three-dimensional (3D) photolithography technology for a high-resolution micropatterning process on a fiber substrate. A brief review on the lithography technology of the non-planar surface is also presented. The proposed technology mainly comprises the microfabrication of the 3D exposure module and the spray deposition of thin resist films on the fiber. The 3D exposure m...
Te-doped GaSb single crystals are studied by measuring Hall effect, infrared (IR) transmission and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. It is found that the n-type GaSb with IR transmittance can be obtained as high as 60% by the critical control of the Te-doping concentration and electrical compensation. The concentration of the native acceptor-associated defects is apparently low in the Te-doped GaSb ...
