Patent number: 5250740Abstract: A method for forming a layer of a Group II or III fluoride on a semiconductor substrate (e.g. as epitaxial insulating layer) comprising vaporising a precursor (I), where M is Be, Ca, Sr, Ba or lanthanide, b and d are 0 or 1. A, B, C and D are independently (IIA) or (IIB), X being O, S, NR, PR where R is H, alkyl, perfluoroalkyl; Y is perfluoroalkyl, fluoroalkenyl, fluoroalkylamine or fluoroalkenylamine; Z is H, F, alkyl, perfluoroalkyl or perfluoroalkenyl; and then decomposing the precursor vapor to form M fluoride.

Patent number: 4720561Abstract: A method of preparing a metal alkyl of formula (R.sub.3 M).sub.x where R.sub.3 represents three alkyl groups R which may be the same or different, M represents a Group III metallic element and x is 1 or 2, which method comprises (a) forming a trialkyl adduct of formula (R.sub.3 M).sub.y.L wherein L represents an aryl-containing Group V, preferably phosphorus, donor ligand provided by an organic Lewis base which is stable at 20.degree. C., and wherein Y is an integer equal to the number of Group V atoms presents in the ligand, and (b) heating the adduct to provide thermal dissociation thereof thereby releasing the alkyl as a gaseous product.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1985Date of Patent: January 19, 1988Assignee: The Secretary of State for Defence in Her Britannic Majesty's Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandInventors: Donald C. Bradley, Halina Chudzynska, Marc M. Faktor

Patent number: 4436769Abstract: A method of depositing a group III element--group V element compound or alloy on a hot substrate using a metal organic chemical vapor deposition procedure. Attempts to apply an MOCVD procedure to the production of a group III element--group V element compound from alkyl derivatives of group III elements which are strong Lewis acids and group V element hydrides have met with limited success. This is because the reactants react in the cold gas phase to form an involatile polymer which does not give the required product on the hot substrate. The present invention proposes modifying the alkyl derivative of the group III element to be a weaker Lewis acid. This can be achieved by either substituting an electron donating group for one of the alkyl groups bonded to the group III element or by combining the group III element alkyl derivative with an alkyl derivative of a group V element thereby forming a volatile compound.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1981Date of Patent: March 13, 1984Assignee: British TelecommunicationsInventors: Rodney H. Moss, Marc M. Faktor

Patent number: 4339302Abstract: A Group III element Q selected from gallium, indium and thallium containing a Group VI element X selected from oxygen, sulphur, selenium and tellurium as an impurity can be purified by adding, to molten Q, an element M capable of forming with X a stable solid compound substantially insoluble in liquid Q. The stable solid compound can be separated and the purified Q used in the epitaxial growth of a semiconductor material such as indium phosphide. Alternatively, in a process for the epitaxial growth of a semiconductor compound of Q in molten Q, X can be removed in situ by the addition of a suitable element of the M-type.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 1980Date of Patent: July 13, 1982Assignee: The Post OfficeInventors: Marc M. Faktor, John Haigh

Patent number: 4307680Abstract: Semiconductor compounds which are alloys of group III-V compounds are grown by a liquid phase epitaxy method which includes heating growth apparatus in a reducing atmosphere while maintaining a solvent for the compound, a source of the group III-V compound and another element of the alloy separate from each other. After heating to reduce oxides, the element is added to the solvent, the source is brought into contact with the solvent and the resulting solution is brought into contact with a substrate to effect growth of the compound. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1979Date of Patent: December 29, 1981Assignee: Post OfficeInventors: John Haigh, Marc M. Faktor, Rodney H. Moss

Patent number: 4194954Abstract: The surface of a semiconductor is prepared by electrolytically removing the surface of the semiconductor. A two component electrolyte is used. A first component forms an oxide on the surface of the semiconductor and the second component dissolves the oxide.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1978Date of Patent: March 25, 1980Assignee: The Post OfficeInventors: Marc M. Faktor, John L. Stevenson

Patent number: 4168212Abstract: The electrochemical measuring technique of the present invention employs, as the barrier material, a concentrated electrolyte, which also forms a medium for the controlled dissolution of a surface of the semiconductor so as to provide a continuous depth profile. The depth profile characteristic may be determined by capacitance-voltage measurements on n-type bulk GaAs, using KOH as the electrolyte.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 1978Date of Patent: September 18, 1979Assignee: The Post OfficeInventors: Marc M. Faktor, Thomas Ambridge, Ean G. Bremner
