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...

This new product represents a natural addition to PAM-XIAMEN's product line. Dr. Shaka, said, "We are pleased to offer Quantum Well Laser Structure to our custome...
We present a novel process for integrating germanium with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. Germanium is implanted into SOI which is then oxidized, trapping the germanium between the two oxide layers (the grown oxide and the buried oxide). With careful control of the implantation and oxidation conditions this process creates a thin layer (current experiments indicate up to 20-30nm) of almost pure...
A micromachined AlGaN/GaN high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) on a Si substrate with diamondlike carbon/titanium (DLC/Ti) heat-dissipation layers was investigated. Superior thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of GaN enabled DLC/Ti to efficiently dissipate the heat of the GaN power HEMT through the Si substrate via holes. This HEMT with DLC design also mainta...
Direct diode lasers have some of the most attractive features of any laser. They are very efficient, compact, wavelength versatile, low cost, and highly reliable. However, the full utilization of direct diode lasers has yet to be realized. The poor quality of diode laser beam itself, directly affect its application ranges, in order to better use of diode laser stack, need a proper correction of op...
We report the generation of microdischarges in devices composed of microcrystalline diamond. Discharges were generated in device structures with microhollow cathode discharge geometries. One structure consisted of an insulating diamond wafer coated with boron-doped diamond layers on both sides. A second structure consisted of an insulating diamond wafer coated with metal layers on both sides. In e...
An InAs/Si heterojunction formed by a wet wafer bonding method with an annealing temperature of 350 °C was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). InAs and Si were observed to be uniformly bonded without any voids in a 2-µm-long field of view in a bright-field TEM image. A high-resolution TEM image revealed that, between the InAs and Si lattice images, there existed a transition la...
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...
