  • Publication number: 20060135743
    Abstract: Provided are a bimetallic zinc complex and a method of producing polycarbonate, including polymerizing an epoxy compound and carbon dioxide using the bimetallic zinc complex. The bimetallic zinc complex according to the present invention has a distance between zinc-zinc atoms, which is maintained in a limited range regardless of its concentration in a reaction medium for the polymerization. Thus, the bimetallic zinc complex can have a polymerization activity even at a high ratio of monomer/catalyst, thereby reducing a catalyst amount to be used, which is economically advantageous. Further, the bimetallic zinc complex can produce a high molecular weight polycarbonate.

  • Patent number: 6625361
    Abstract: A method for forming two conductive films isolated electrically from each other on the surface of a fiber is provided. According to the method, a fiber is attached into the grooves on a silicon substrate using photoresist as glue. A photoresist pattern for a conductive film on the surface of the fiber is formed by a photolithography process. After wet-etching some amount of the fiber on the patterned area, which is needed for lifting off a metal film deposited on the unnecessary area, a metal film is deposited over whole area of the wafer. Removing photo-resist by a heated stripper solution leaves a metal film only on the patterned area of the fiber and detaches the fibers from the grooves of the wafer The second metal film on the other side of the fiber can be formed by the same procedures as the first metal film except that the deposited surface of the fiber must be attached to the grooves upside down.

  • Patent number: 6410347
    Abstract: The method of manufacturing VCSEL composed of multiple material layers uses a main measuring laser having same wavelength of that of VCSEL so as to estimate the growth periods required for growing a predetermined thickness of the material layers by analyzing the reflected signal of the main measuring laser and then control the growth time durations of subsequent material layers. This method eliminates the need of pre-knowledge of refractive indexes and the growing speeds of the material layers. Also, an interruptive process for measuring thickness, growth speed or refractive indexes can be omitted so as to perform the entire epitaxial growth in-situ and thus improve the reproducibility and the uniformity. In addition, a subsidiary measuring laser may be used other than the main measuring laser for improving the accuracy of the control of growth time duration, where the subsidiary measuring laser has a different wavelength from that of VCSEL.

  • Patent number: 5855669
    Abstract: A grating coupler is formed by growing an optical waveguide layer on a substrate by an epitaxial growing process such as a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and a molecular beam deposition. The optical waveguide layer has a surface on which a cross-hatch pattern serving as the grating is continuously formed. The optical waveguide layer is formed with a material having a reflective index greater than a reflective index of the substrate or an atmosphere. Specifically, the substrate is formed with GaAs and the optical waveguide layer is formed with InGaAs. Further, the substrate is an on-substrate having an orientation coinciding with a ?100! plane, so as to form the optical waveguide layer having continuous cross-hatch patterns on the surface thereof. The spacing between the cross-hatch patterns can be varied according to variation of a growth temperature of the optical waveguide layer.

  • Patent number: 5856206
    Abstract: A Bragg reflector with a uniform thickness is fabricated by means of an in-situ laser reflectometer. In order to fabricate the Bragg reflector, a plurality of buffer layers are formed on a semiconductor substrate. Then, first and second epitaxial layers are alternatively grown on the buffer layers. While growing the epitaxial layers, the thickness of the first and second epitaxial layers are continuously measured by using a laser beam having the same wavelength as a reflective wavelength of the Bragg reflector. In this way, the thickness of the Bragg reflector is precisely controlled according to the measurements, so that the Bragg reflector may be fabricated uniformly with a predetermined thickness.

  • Patent number: 5472505
    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring a film growth is disclosed, in which, when a crystalline thin film is grown by applying an MOCVD (metalorganic chemical vapor deposition method), the variation of the thickness and composition due to certain factors can be detected with real time during the film growing process, and an in-situ adjustment is possible. As the optical detector for detecting two sets of reflected beams which are reflected from the film, a silicon detector and a germanium detector are used, the former being suitable for detecting short wavelength laser beams, and the latter being suitable for detecting long wavelength laser beams. Thus two different wavelengths are detected with real time, thereby measuring the thickness and composition of the film.
