  • Patent number: 7728359
    Abstract: In a nitride semiconductor based bipolar transistor, a contact layer formed so as to contact an emitter layer is composed of n-type InAlGaN quaternary mixed crystals, the emitter layer and the contact layer are selectively removed so that the barrier height with the emitter formed thereon is small, and the ohmic electrode contact resistance can be lowered on the InAlGaN quaternary mixed crystals, for example, so that a WSi emitter electrode becomes an eave. A base electrode is formed by a self-aligned process using the emitter electrode as a mask. By such a configuration, the distance between the emitter and the edge of the base electrode is sufficiently shortened, and the base resistance can be lowered. As a result, a bipolar transistor having favorable high-frequency characteristics can be realized.

  • Patent number: 7705361
    Abstract: A heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) has a (In)(Al)GaAsSb/InGaAs base-collector structure. A discontinuous base-collector conduction band forms a built-in electric field to infuse electrons into a collector structure effectively, while a discontinuous base-collector valence band prevents holes from spreading into the collector structure at the same time. Thus, a current density is increased. In addition, the small offset voltage of the base-emitter and base-collector junctions reduce a power consumption.

  • Patent number: 7192802
    Abstract: Zinc-oxide nanostructures are grown without using a metal catalyst by forming a seed layer of polycrystalline zinc oxide on a surface of a substrate. The seed layer can be formed by an atomic layer deposition technique. Growth of at least one zinc-oxide nanostructure is induced on the seed layer. The seed layer can alternatively be formed by using a spin-on technique, such as a metal organic deposition technique, a spray pyrolisis technique, an RF sputtering technique or by oxidation of the seed layer.
