Patent number: 8858708Abstract: This invention provides a process for producing high-purity dense polycrystalline III-nitride slabs. A vessel which contains a group III-metal such as gallium or an alloy of group III-metals of shallow depth is placed in a reactor. The group III-metal or alloy is heated until a molten state is reached after which a halide-containing source mixed with a carrier gas and a nitrogen-containing source is flowed through the reactor vessel. An initial porous crust of III-nitride forms on the surface of the molten III-metal or alloy which reacts with the nitrogen-containing source and the halide-containing source. The flow rate of the nitrogen-containing source is then increased and flowed into contact with the molten metal to produce a dense polycrystalline III-nitride. The products produced from the inventive process can be used as source material for III-nitride single crystal growth which material is not available naturally.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: The United States of America As represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Michael J. Callahan, Buguo Wang, John S. Bailey

Patent number: 6406540Abstract: This invention provides a process and apparatus for producing products of M-nitride materials wherein M=gallium (GaN), aluminum (AlN), indium (InN), germanium (GeN), zinc (ZnN) and ternary nitrides and alloys such as zinc germanium nitride or indium aluminum gallium nitride. This process and apparatus produce either free-standing single crystals, or deposit layers on a substrate by epitaxial growth or polycrystalline deposition. Also high purity M-nitride powders may be synthesized. The process uses an ammonium halide such as ammonium chloride, ammonium bromide or ammonium iodide and a metal to combine to form the M-nitride which deposits in a cooler region downstream from and/or immediately adjacent to the reaction area. High purity M-nitride can be nucleated from the vapor to form single crystals or deposited on a suitable substrate as a high density material.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1999Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Meckie T.

Process for the manufacture of group III nitride targets for use in sputtering and similar equipment
Patent number: 6113985Abstract: Using a GaN growth furnace, at least three different techniques can be used for forming the targets for the deposition of thin films. In the first, nitrides can be deposited as a dense coating on a target backing plate for use as a target. In this approach, the backing plate is placed near the Group III metal. During processing, the Group III metal or metal halide vaporizes and reacts with the nitrogen source to deposit a dense polycrystalline layer on the backing plate. To build up a thick layer on the backing plate, the backing plate is repeatedly placed in the processing furnace until a satisfactory thickness is attained. For the second approach, a properly shaped reaction vessel, the dense, thick Group III nitride crust that forms on top of the Group III metal during the process can be used directly or mechanically altered to meet the size requirements for a sputtering target holder.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1999Date of Patent: September 5, 2000Assignee: The United States of America as represented by Secretary of the Air ForceInventors: Michael J.

Patent number: 5843038Abstract: An apparatus according to the present invention is a finder-thinwall needle combination for central venous catheterization. The finder needle is slidably mounted in very close proximity to or coaxially with the thinwall needle. The tip of the finder needle initially extends a distance beyond the end of the thinwall needle, so that a technician may locate a central vein with the finder needle without significantly damaging a central artery. Then the technician may slide the thinwall needle forward along the finder needle into the vein. The present invention also encompasses a method for inserting a thinwall needle into a central vein without damaging a central artery. First, a technician finds a central vein with the sharp end portion of the finder needle. She then slides the thinwall needle forward relative to the finder needle such that the tip of the thinwall needle enters the vein.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1995Date of Patent: December 1, 1998Assignee: University of Southern CaliforniaInventor: John S.
