122 results about "Misorientation" patented technology

Misorientation is the difference in crystallographic orientation between two crystallites in a polycrystalline material. In crystalline materials, the orientation of a crystallite is defined by a transformation from a sample reference frame (i.e. defined by the direction of a rolling or extrusion process and two orthogonal directions) to the local reference frame of the crystalline lattice, as defined by the basis of the unit cell.

Strained semiconductor by wafer bonding with misorientation

One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for forming a strained semiconductor structure. In various embodiments, at least two strong bonding regions are defined for a desired bond between a crystalline semiconductor membrane and a crystalline semiconductor substrate. The two strong bonding regions are separated by a weak bonding region. The membrane is bonded to the substrate at a predetermined misorientation. The membrane is pinned to the substrate in the strong bonding regions. The predetermined misorientation provides the membrane in the weak bonding region with a desired strain. In various embodiments, the membrane is bonded to the substrate at a predetermined twist angle to biaxially strain the membrane in the weak bonding region. In various embodiments, the membrane is bonded to the substrate at a predetermined tilt angle to uniaxially strain the membrane in the weak bonding region. Other aspects are provided herein.

Disclosed is an Ni-plated layer of biaxial texture, which is formed by electroplating. In the Ni-plated layer,peaks measured on a theta-rocking curve have a FWHM of 7° or less in terms of the misorientation on the c-axis; and peaks measured on phi-scan have a FWHM of 21° or less in terms of the misorientation on the plane formed by the a-axis and the b-axis. Also, a process of electroplating a Ni layer are disclosed. The process comprises forming a Ni-plated layer of biaxial texture under a magnetic field by electroplating and subjecting the Ni-plated layer to thermal treatment to develop the biaxial texture. This electroplating process is expected to give a significant contribution to the development of the electroplating technology and to replace the vacuum deposition used for the preparation of thin film magnetic materials or thin film piezoelectric materials.

Method of Manufacturing Single-Crystal GaN Substrate, and Single-Crystal GaN Substrate

Manufacture at lower cost of off-axis GaN single-crystal freestanding substrates having a crystal orientation that is displaced from (0001) instead of (0001) exact. With an off-axis (111) GaAs wafer as a starting substrate, GaN is vapor-deposited onto the starting substrate, which grows GaN crystal that is inclined at the same off-axis angle and in the same direction as is the starting substrate. Misoriented freestanding GaN substrates may be manufactured, utilizing a misoriented (111) GaAs baseplate as a starting substrate, by forming onto the starting substrate a mask having a plurality of apertures, depositing through the mask a GaN single-crystal layer, and then removing the starting substrate. The manufacture of GaN crystal having a misorientation of 0.1° to 25° is made possible.

Fabrication of periodic surface structures with nanometer-scale spacings

The periodic stress and strain fields produced by a pure twist grain boundary between two single crystals bonded together in the form of a bicrystal are used to fabricate a two-dimensional surface topography with controllable, nanometer-scale feature spacings (e.g., from 50 nanometers down to 1.5 nanometers). The spacing of the features is controlled by the misorientation angle used during crystal bonding. One of the crystals is selected to be thin, on the order of 5-100 nanometers. A buried periodic array of screw dislocations is formed at the twist grain boundary. To bring the buried periodicity to the surface, the thin single crystal is etched to reveal an array of raised elements, such as pyramids, that have nanometer-scale dimensions. The process can be employed with numerous materials, such as gold, silicon and sapphire. In addition, the process can be used with different materials for each crystal such that a periodic array of misfit dislocations is formed at the interface between the two crystals.

Method for quantifying the texture homogeneity of a polycrystalline material

A method for quantifying the texture homogeneity of a polycrystalline material is described. The method involves selecting a reference pole orientation; scanning in increments a cross-section of the polycrystalline material having a thickness with scanning orientation imaging microscopy or other measuring technique to obtain actual pole orientations of a multiplicity of grains throughout the cross-section of the polycrystalline material. The orientation differences between the reference pole orientation and actual pole orientations of a multiplicity of grains is then determined. A value of misorientation from the reference pole orientation at each grain measured throughout the thickness is then assigned. The average misorientation of each measured increment throughout the thickness is then determined. A texture gradient and / or texture banding can then be obtained by determining the first and / or second derivative, respectively, of the average misorientation of each measured increment through the thickness of the sample used for evaluation. A method to predict the sputtering efficiency of a target is also described as well as a system for quantifying the texture homogeneity of a polycrystalline material.

Method and structure for eliminating polarization instability in laterally - oxidized VCSELs

InactiveUS20050158902A1Sufficient polarization selectivityPolarization selectivity can be improvedOptical wave guidanceLaser detailsInstabilityOptoelectronics
The polarization instability inherent in laterally-oxidized VCSELs may be mitigated by employing an appropriately-shaped device aperture, a misoriented substrate, one or more cavities or employing the shaped device aperture together with a misoriented substrate and / or cavities. The laterally-oxidized VCSELs are able to operate in a single polarization mode throughout the entire light output power versus intensity curve. Combining the use of misoriented substrates with a device design that has an asymmetric aperture that reinforces the polarization mode favored by the substrate further improves polarization selectivity. Other device designs, however, can also be combined with substrate misorientation to strengthen polarization selectivity.
