GaN epilayers and GaN/AlGaN quantum wells (QWs) were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaN(0001) single crystal substrates. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to assess the crystal quality of the homoepitaxial layers. A dislocation density of ...
A micro-hotplate device, useful in catalytic high-temperature chemical sensors, micro-chemical reactors and as infra-red source, in particular at temperatures above 600 DEG C, comprises a thin film resistive heater (1) made of a refractory metal silicide s ...
We report on the growth and properties of GaN films grown on Si(111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy using ammonia. The properties of the layers show that our growth procedure is very efficient in order to overcome the difficulties encountered during ...
A bulk GaN half-wave (lambda /2) cavity is grown on Si(Ill) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. It is embedded between twelve AlN/(Al,Ga)N quaterwave stacks and the silicon substrate, which acts as a metallic bottom mirror in the investigated wavelength r ...
Conformal epitaxy is an epitaxial growth technique capable of yielding low dislocation density III-V films on Silicon. In this technique, the growth of the m-V material occurs parallel to the silicon substrate, from the edge of a previously deposited III-V ...
Microcavity light-emitting diodes (MCLEDs) with top-emitting geometry have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs and Si substrates. External quantum efficiencies of up to 10% were obtained for 420 x 420 mu m(2) homoepitaxial devices. The efficiency ...
To deposit cryolite thin films with a composition close to the correct stoichiometry on a silicon substrate, a Direst Pulsed Laser Deposition (DPLD) set-up and a Crossed Beam Pulsed Laser Deposition (CBPLD) set-up have been used. In the case of CBPLD two t ...
A monolithic silicon integrated optical micro-scanner is presented. The device consists of a mirror located on the tip of a thermal bimorph actuator beam. The fabrication process is very simple and compatible with IC fabrication techniques. The device is e ...
