Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a group III-V compound semiconductor photo detector comprising an absorption layer having a group III-V compound semiconductor layer containing Sb as a group V constituent element, and an n-type InP window layer, resulting in reduced dark current. The InP layer 23 grown on the absorption layer 23 contains antimony as impurity, due to the memory effect with antimony which is supplied during the growth of a GaAsSb layer of the absorption layer 21. In the group III-V compound semiconductor photo detector 11, the InP layer 23 contains antimony as impurity and is doped with silicon as n-type dopant. Although antimony impurities in the InP layer 23 generate holes, the silicon contained in the InP layer 23 compensates for the generated carriers. As a result, the second portion 23d of the InP layer 23 has sufficient n-type conductivity.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device that can suppress deterioration in crystal quality caused by a lattice mismatch between a substrate and an epitaxial layer and that also can ensure a voltage sustaining performance, and a wafer for forming the semiconductor device. An epitaxial wafer of silicon carbide (SiC), which is used for manufacturing a semiconductor device, includes a low resistance substrate and an epitaxial layer provided thereon. The epitaxial layer is doped with the same dopant as a dopant doped into the substrate, and has a laminated structure including a low concentration layer and an ultrathin high concentration layer. A doping concentration in the low concentration layer is lower than that in the silicon carbide substrate. A doping concentration in the ultrathin high concentration layer is equal to that in the silicon carbide substrate.
Abstract:
The method and apparatus disclosed herein relate to preparing a stack structure for an electronic device on a semiconductor substrate. A particularly beneficial application of the method is in reduction of internal stress in a stack containing multiple layers of silicon. Typically, though not necessarily, the internal stress is a compressive stress, which often manifests as wafer bow. In some embodiments, the method reduces the internal stress of a work piece by depositing phosphorus doped silicon layers having low internal compressive stress or even tensile stress. The method and apparatus disclosed herein can be used to reduce compressive bow in stacks containing silicon.

A superlattice layer including a plurality of periods, each of which is formed from a plurality of sub-layers is provided. Each sub-layer comprises a different composition than the adjacent sub-layer(s) and comprises a polarization that is opposite a polarization of the adjacent sub-layer(s). In this manner, the polarizations of the respective adjacent sub-layers compensate for one another. Furthermore, the superlattice layer can be configured to be at least partially transparent to radiation, such as ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract:
An embodiment includes depositing a material onto a substrate where the material includes a different lattice constant than the substrate (e.g., III-V or IV epitaxial (EPI) material on a Si substrate). An embodiment includes an EPI layer formed within a trench having walls that narrow as the trench extends upwards. An embodiment includes an EPI layer formed within a trench using multiple growth temperatures. A defect barrier, formed in the EPI layer when the temperature changes, contains defects within the trench and below the defect barrier. The EPI layer above the defect barrier and within the trench is relatively defect free. An embodiment includes an EPI layer annealed within a trench to induce defect annihilation. An embodiment includes an EPI superlattice formed within a trench and covered with a relatively defect free EPI layer (that is still included in the trench). Other embodiments are described herein.
