Contacts to the source-drain and gate regions are made through a second level of polysilicon which is directly deposited in contact with the doped source-drain and gate regions. Isolations are obtained by selectively oxidizing the entire layer of the second level polysilicon using a thin layer of silicon nitride as an oxidation mask. Metal is only needed in the areas where interconnects cross over the source-drain or gate regions. For an MOS circuit with buried contacts, this approach requires one less mask than the conventional approach since no buried contact masking is needed. Metal silicide can be incorporated into the second level of polysilicon to reduce the lire resistance of this interconnecting layer. Refractory metal or refractory metal silicide can also be used as the gate material.

Integrated circuits employing MESFET devices have been fabricated. The speed, packing density, and drive capability advantages associated with bipolar devices make it attractive to investigate the feasibility of fabricating such devices in GaAs. In particular, if both bipolar and MESFET devices can be integrated into a planar IC process, the material properties of GaAs can be more fully exploited. In this paper we discuss the fabrication and properties of ion-implanted, planar bipolar n-p-n transistors in GaAs. The devices were fabricated by implanting the base and emitter regions into n-type epitaxial GaAs which acts as the collector. Using a thin evaporated metal layer as an implant mask, selective base regions were formed by Be-ion implantation. Silicon was then implanted to form the emitter region. The samples were annealed at 850°c for 30 minutes to electrically activate the impurities. A passivating dielectric layer (SixOyNz) was deposited by a plasma enhanced deposition process. Ohmic contacts to the collector and emitter regions were formed with Au/Ge:Ni while Ag:Mn ohmic contacts were made to the base region. Typical devices exhibited breakdown voltages in excess of 40V across the collector-base junctions and common emitter current gains of 8. Gains as high as 16 were observed. These results are extremely encouraging since structures were not designed for optimum performance. The leakage currents and the frequency response of these devices will be discussed.","PeriodicalId":180541,"journal":{"name":"1980 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128978481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ordinary Raman spectroscopy over a large area annealed by multiple laser scans has been found to result in Raman spectra of variable band shapes and frequencies. These may be interpreted as superposition of amorphous (broad band centered around 480cm-1) and single crystal silicon spectra (sharp band centered at 523 cm-1) from the partially recrystallized regions. Probing selected locations in the annealed regions with a 1µm spot size laser source (using a Molecular Optical Laser Examiner, MOLE) has shown, for the first time, sharp bands being produced as low as 512 cm-1. Further annealing moved the narrow bands towards 523 cm-1, the centre frequency typical for ordinary Raman spectroscopy on single crystal silicon. Thus a combination of the two approaches allows examination of the effectiveness of laser annealing at both the macroscopic and microscopic level.","PeriodicalId":180541,"journal":{"name":"1980 International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129002190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results are lowered individual component temperatures and reduced thermal densities throughout the baseplate. The objective of this effort was to extend the power level of helix space tubes by combining a high efficiency cooling design approach with high efficiency electrical design techniques previously demonstrated on lower power space devices. These techniques include velocity tapering of the helix circuit, multi-stage depressed electron collection, low dielectric and conductive shield loading, and integral barrel focusing. A novel technique for transferring barrel heat to the baseplate is introduced. The tube delivers 300 watts of continuous wave RF output power at lower E-band frequencies.
