Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing electromagnetic emissions from a high-speed differential data connector is disclosed. The method and apparatus are as effective as a 360° enclosure, while being easier and less expensive to manufacture and does not require a direct electrical connection between the Transistor-to-Transistor logic (TTL) or logic ground and the system chassis ground.

Abstract: A conventional hydride VPE reactor is modified by the addition of a gas switching manifold and the use of three way pneumatic valves in the manifold to alternately direct the flow of reactant gas mixtures into either the reactor or a vent line. With these additions, various predetermined gas mixtures of arsine, phosphine, and hydrogen selected by electronic mass flow controllers (GM1 and GM2) and predetermined gas mixtures of H.sub.2 and HCl (GM3) may be alternately infused into the reactor chamber or vented as desired. When GM3 is injected into the reactor chamber, the content of GaAs of the growing layer increases while the content of In decreases. Given this, when GM3 and GM2 are vented rather than injected into the furnace and GM1 is directed into the furnace, a layer of InGaAsP with a predetermined composition (A) will be deposited. Alternatively, when GM3 and GM2 are co-injected into the reactor and GM1 is be directed to the vent, a layer of InGaAsP of a predetermined composition (B) will be deposited.
