Semiconductor formation

In the absence of additives or adventitious impurities, the BLM is an electrical insulator. Current flow, in the order of only 10 9 A, was detected upon application of potential differences in the — 0.10 to + 0.10 V range (Fig. 107a). The determined resistance and capacitance of a 1.00-mm-diameter glyceryl monooleate (GMO) BLM bathed in 0.10 M KC1, (3-5) 108 ohm and 2.0-2.2 nF, agreed well with those reported previously (3 x 10 ohm 0.380 pF/mm2) [388]. In situ semiconductor formation on the BLM surface resulted in marked changes in the electrical response. Depending on the system, the current flow was found to increase asymmetrically and the BLM became very much stable and longer lived.

General trends observed with II-VI semiconductors are also observed on III-V semiconductors. Formation of etchpits was observed on n-InP in the presence of HCl solution, under illumination [47, 152-154]. The main...

Photovoltaic Devices. For many inorganic semiconductors, absorption of light can be used to create free electrons and holes. In an organic semiconducting soHd, however, absorption of a photon leads to the formation of a bound electron—hole pair. Separation of this pair in an electric field can... 

In most cases, CVD reactions are activated thermally, but in some cases, notably in exothermic chemical transport reactions, the substrate temperature is held below that of the feed material to obtain deposition. Other means of activation are available (7), eg, deposition at lower substrate temperatures is obtained by electric-discharge plasma activation. In some cases, unique materials are produced by plasma-assisted CVD (PACVD), such as amorphous siHcon from silane where 10—35 mol % hydrogen remains bonded in the soHd deposit. Except for the problem of large amounts of energy consumption in its formation, this material is of interest for thin-film solar cells. Passivating films of Si02 or Si02 Si N deposited by PACVD are of interest in the semiconductor industry (see Semiconductors). 

Fig. 5. NMOS capacitance voltage characteristics where C is the oxide capacitance, A shows low frequency characteristics, and B shows high frequency characteristics. At low frequencies C approaches C for negative voltages (accumulation) and positive voltages (inversion). In the flat-band (FB) condition there is no voltage difference between the semiconductor s surface and bulk. The threshold voltage, Dp for channel formation is the point where the...

The last technique commonly employed to deposit metals for compound semiconductors is electroplating (150). This technique is usually used where very thick metal layers are desired for very low resistance interconnects or for thick wire bond pads. Another common use of this technique is in the formation of air-bridged interconnects (150), which are popular for high speed electronic and optoelectronic circuits. 

Tertiary stibines have been widely employed as ligands in a variety of transition metal complexes (99), and they appear to have numerous uses in synthetic organic chemistry (66), eg, for the olefination of carbonyl compounds (100). They have also been used for the formation of semiconductors by the metal—organic chemical vapor deposition process (101), as catalysts or cocatalysts for a number of polymerization reactions (102), as ingredients of light-sensitive substances (103), and for many other industrial purposes. 

An important use of bromine compounds is in the production of flame retardants (qv). These are of the additive-type, which is physically blended into polymers, and the reactive-type, which chemically reacts during the formation of the polymer. Bromine compounds are also used in fire extinguishers. Brominated polymers are used in flame retardant appHcations and bromine-containing epoxy sealants are used in semiconductor devices (see...
