  • Patent number: 6423241
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ink jet print head and a method of producing the same, the ink jet print head including a plurality of ink ejecting orifices which are formed with a desired shape and a uniform size by only once using metal plating technique, having an excellent productivity and a low manufacturing cost. According to a first embodiment of the present invention, in the steps for forming an improved metal barrier layer, which is comprised of the conventional barrier layer and the conventional nozzle plate combined together, the metal barrier layer can be formed on a wetting layer by using electrolytic plating or electroless plating of Ni. As a result, an upper surface of a first photoresist mold is completely covered with the overflowing Ni. Further, an upper portion of a second photoresist mold is partially covered with the overplating Ni and is partially opened at a proper size and a desired shape. Thereby, an ink ejecting orifice is created at the upper portion of the second photoresist mold.

  • Patent number: 6049116
    Abstract: A structure and the fabrication method of two-color IR detector are disclosed. Disclosed two-color IR detector structure is a n-p-N structure which can be realized using only two-layer HgCdTe. The most important factor in the two-color IR detector structure is the formation of the potential barrier in the conduction band of p-N heterojunction. This potential barrier prevents photogenerated minority carriers in p-HgCdTe region from diffusing to and being collected by N-HgCdTe region (larger band gap diode). The calculated potential barrier heights under the thermal equilibrium at 77 K are 21 kT (141 meV) and 13.4 kT (89 meV) for the cases of p-Hg.sub.0.78 Cd.sub.0.22 Te/N-Hg.sub.0.69 Cd.sub.0.3l Te and p-Hg.sub.0.69 Cd.sub.0.31 Te/N-Hg.sub.0.636 Cd.sub.0.364 Te with each side carrier concentration of 5.times.10.sup.15 and 1.times.10.sub.16 cm.sup.-3, respectively.

  • Patent number: 5828114
    Abstract: There are disclosed methods for the prevention of misfit dislocation in a silicon wafer and the silicon wafer structure manufactured thereby. A method according to an embodiment comprises the steps of: depositing a blanket silicon oxide or silicon nitride on silicon wafer in a chemical vapor deposition process; selectively etching the silicon oxide or silicon nitride, to form a silicon oxide or silicon nitride pattern which is of close shape; and injecting the silicon wafer with impurities at a high density with the CVD silicon oxide or silicon nitride pattern serving as a mask, so as to form an impurity-blocked region is formed under the CVD silicon oxide or silicon nitride through the action of the mask. The misfit dislocation is propagated mainly from the edge of wafer and an impurity-blocked region can prevent the propagation. The propagation energy is virtually based on the tensile stress attributable to the implantation of impurity.

  • Patent number: 5810994
    Abstract: A silicon on-insulator device wafer having a very thin monocrystalline film with uniform thickness. It is fabricated by vias technique in which a monocrystalline silicon film on an insulator is etched with a base silicon etching solution in an etch apparatus by applying a vias in such a way that the solution may serve as an anode and the substrate of SOI structure as a cathode. The presence of the insulator generates vacancies in a lower region of the monocrystalline silicon film and electrons in the substrate, so that the lower region charged with the vacancies is not removed by the base silicon etching solution, thereby leaving a highly uniform, thin monocrystalline silicon film.

  • Patent number: 4337475
    Abstract: A novel diffusion type transistor which is useful for relatively high-power and high-current applications and a method for manufacturing the transistor are disclosed.In constructing the transistor, the base under emitter has three zones, one of which is a buried layer such as used in the fabrication of bipolar integrated circuits. Two of the zones, including the buried layer base zone, are highly doped to provide a low resistivity base current path. The last zone is a low impurity concentration epitaxially grown base zone and which accepts and transports the injected minority carriers from the emitter to the collector. Hence, the emitter periphery is determined by the sum of the total PN junction boundary between the buried layer base zone, the epitaxially grown base zone and a diffused emitter.
