  • Patent number: 11949039
    Abstract: A method of forming an optoelectronic semiconductor device involves providing an amorphous substrate. A transparent and conductive oxide layer is deposited on the amorphous substrate. The transparent and conductive oxide layer is annealed to form an annealed transparent and conductive oxide layer having a cubic-oriented and/or rhombohedral-oriented surface. A nanorod array is formed on the cubic-oriented and/or rhombohedral-oriented surface of the annealed transparent and conductive oxide layer. The annealing of the transparent conductive oxide layer and the formation of the nanorod array are performed using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The nanorods of the nanorod array comprise a group-III material and are non-polar.

  • Patent number: 11948977
    Abstract: Transistors having partially recessed gates are constructed on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) semiconductor wafers provided with a buried oxide layer (BOX), for example, FD-SOI and UTBB devices. An epitaxially grown channel region relaxes constraints on the design of doped source and drain profiles. Formation of a partially recessed gate and raised epitaxial source and drain regions allow further improvements in transistor performance and reduction of short channel effects such as drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) and control of a characteristic subthreshold slope. Gate recess can be varied to place the channel at different depths relative to the dopant profile, assisted by advanced process control. The partially recessed gate has an associated high-k gate dielectric that is initially formed in contact with three sides of the gate. Subsequent removal of the high-k sidewalls and substitution of a lower-k silicon nitride encapsulant lowers capacitance between the gate and the source and drain regions.

  • Patent number: 11942760
    Abstract: A high-voltage switch, whose operation leverages the speed of electrons to generate the “on” time of the pulse in combination with the speed of light to generate the “off” time of the pulse, is described. In one example, the high-voltage switch includes a first electrode, a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode, a region of non-absorbing material occupying a portion of the space between the first and second electrodes and allowing a laser pulse to propagate therethrough without substantial absorption, and a region of absorbing material occupying another portion of the space and producing a charged particle cloud upon receiving the laser pulse. The high-voltage switch remains “on” upon the charged particle cloud reaching an electrode and until it has been collected by the electrode, and where the high-voltage switch remains “off” subsequent to the collection and until another generated charged particle cloud reaches the electrode.
