Markus Keim has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6399473
    Abstract: A II-VI semiconductor component is produced with an active layer sequence having at least one II-VI semiconductor layer containing Se and/or S on a substrate. First, an Se-free II-VI interlayer based on BeTe is grown epitaxially on the substrate in an essentially Se-free and S-free first epitaxy chamber. The active layer sequence is then grown epitaxially on the Se-free II-VI semiconductor layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6372536
    Abstract: The invention relates to a II-VI semiconductor component in which, within a series of layers, there is provided at least one junction between a semiconductor layer containing BeTe and a semiconductor layer containing Se. A boundary layer between the semiconductor layer containing BeTe and the semiconductor layer containing Se is prepared in such a way that it forms a Be—Se configuration.

  • Patent number: 6285697
    Abstract: A semiconductor laser component includes a semiconductor body with an SCH configuration which is suitable for generating an electromagnetic radiation and in which an active layer sequence with a quantum well structure is provided between a first outer cover layer of a first conductivity type and a second outer cover layer of the first conductivity type. A first denatured transition layer of a second conductivity type and a second denatured transition layer the first conductivity type are provided between the active layer sequence and the second outer cover layer.

  • Patent number: 6147365
    Abstract: An optoelectronic semiconductor component has a radiation-emitting active layer sequence which is associated with at least one poorly dopable semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type. A heavily doped first degenerated junction layer of a first conductivity type and a heavily doped second degenerated junction layer of a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type are provided between the poorly dopable semiconductor layer and a contact layer of the semiconductor body, the contact layer being associated with the poorly dopable semiconductor layer.
