Abstract:
This invention discloses a method for reducing hot carriers in a transistor structure by means of increasing the scattering rate of the carriers. The increased scattering rate is accomplished by introducing scattering sites comprising of non-conventional dopants, an element which is not boron, phosphorous, or arsenic, into the base or channel region of a transistor.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device having a single crystal pn junction formed in a Group II-VI compound semiconductor crystal, by: growing a Group II-VI compound semiconductor crystal substrate of n type from a melt of a crystal-constituting Group VI element other than Te; forming a crystal temperature difference in the melt which applying a vapor pressure of the Group VI element onto the melt; forming, on the substrate, a semiconductor region of p type by diffusing an acceptor impurity into the n type crystal under a predetermined vapor pressure of the constituent Group VI element. Thus, it becomes possible to provide light-emitting diodes emitting green, blue-green or violet color region if ZnSe crystals are used.

In a method for manufacturing a semiconductor memory device, a semiconductor chip and an adhesive tape having an adhesive layer are prepared. The adhesive layer comprises a polyamic acid intermediate derived for example from a pyromellitic dianhydride and a diamine. The adhesive tape is pressed onto the semiconductor chip at a temperature of from about 250.degree. C. to about 400.degree. C. for a predetermined time period such as 2 to 5 sec.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by the use of a Group II-VI compound semiconductor crystal prepared by liquid growth method using a temperature difference technique under controlled vapor pressure of the crystal-constituting Group VI element. Thus, the concentration of vacancies and other defects acting as donor is reduced as compared with the concentration of the p type impurity to be introduced. This invention is suitable for producing light-emitting diodes emitting a light of short-wave lengths.

A new light-sensitive, current limiting solid state diode is formed by using gadolinium as a dopant in a germanium crystal to which a gold-germanium eutectic is alloyed thereto, in order to form a p-n junction.
Abstract:
A method for producing a semiconductor device in a semiconductor wafer, which is initially substantially undoped, the method including initially forming in outer areas of the semiconductor wafer the semiconductor zones necessary for creating the device, in such a manner that an interior zone of the wafer is left substantially undoped, and subsequently doping the wafer with a doping material which is only slightly soluble in the material of the semiconductor wafer and has a high diffusion speed. In this manner the interior zone is given a substantially homogeneous doping concentration.
Abstract:
Zn(PO3)2, as a low melting point glass, is used as the zinc and oxygen doping source in the growth of the p-type region of gallium phosphide electroluminescent diode material. It is a relatively low vapor pressure liquid above 872*C permitting intimate contact with the GaP containing melt and rapid solution therein during crystal pulling or liquid phase epitaxial crystal growth.
