Patent number: 5872022Abstract: A method of etching a III-V compound semiconductor uses an etching gas including the group V element of the III-V compound semiconductor substrate layer while keeping the III-V compound semiconductor layer at a temperature higher than the crystal growth temperature of the III-V compound semiconductor. Etching using this method provides a higher degree of controllability than wet etching. In addition, because no etching solution is employed, the etching method can be employed in a crystal growth apparatus. Further, because an element of the III-V compound semiconductor layer is employed in the etching gas, incorporation of residual impurities can be prevented, keeping the etched surface clean.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 1995Date of Patent: February 16, 1999Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Motoda, Manabu Kato, Masayoshi Takemi

Patent number: 5741359Abstract: An apparatus for zone-melting recrystallization of a semiconductor layer includes a first heater, on which a semiconductor wafer including the semiconductor layer and upper and lower insulating films sandwiching the semiconductor layer is mounted, for radiantly heating a rear surface of the semiconductor wafer to a temperature at which the semiconductor layer and the insulating layers are not melted; and a second heater disposed above the semiconductor wafer and radiantly heating a front surface of the semiconductor wafer. The second heater has a heat generating point that produces a heated spot in the semiconductor layer and moves spirally while maintaining a fixed distance from the semiconductor wafer, thereby producing a large-area monocrystalline region in the semiconductor layer. In this zone-melting recrystallization, a single crystalline nucleus is produced in the semiconductor layer, and the entire semiconductor layer is recrystallized with the crystalline nucleus as a seed crystal.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 1995Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Motoda, Manabu Kato
