Method of lift-off patterning thin films in situ employing phase change resists

Patent Bahlke, Matthias Erhard; Baldo, Marc A; Mendoza, Hiroshi Antonio

Method for making a patterned thin film of an organic semiconductor. The method includes condensing a resist gas into a solid film onto a substrate cooled to a temperature below the condensation point of the resist gas. The condensed solid film is heated selectively with a patterned stamp to cause local direct sublimation from solid to vapor of selected portions of the solid film thereby creating a patterned resist film. An organic semiconductor film is coated on the patterned resist film and the patterned resist film is heated to cause it to sublime away and to lift off because ofmore » the phase change.« less

Growth of single crystal III-V semiconductors on amorphous substrates

Patent Chen, Kevin; Kapadia, Rehan; Javey, Ali

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to the growth of single crystal III-V semiconductors on amorphous substrates. In one aspect, a shape of a semiconductor structure to be formed on an amorphous substrate is defined in a resist disposed on the amorphous substrate. A boron group element is deposited over the amorphous substrate. A ceramic material is deposited on the boron group element. The resist is removed from the amorphous substrate. The ceramic material is deposited to cover the boron group element. The amorphous substrate and materials deposited thereon are heated in the presence of a gas includingmore »« less

Superconducting thin films on potassium tantalate substrates

Patent Feenstra, Roeland (Oak Ridge, TN); Boatner, Lynn A. (Oak Ridge, TN)

A superconductive system for the lossless transmission of electrical current comprising a thin film of superconducting material Y.sub.1 Ba.sub.2 Cu.sub.3 O.sub.7-x epitaxially deposited upon a KTaO.sub.3 substrate. The KTaO.sub.3 is an improved substrate over those of the prior art since the it exhibits small lattice constant mismatch and does not chemically react with the superconducting film.

Method for producing high quality thin layer films on substrates

Patent Strongin, Myron (Center Moriches, NY); Ruckman, Mark (Middle Island, NY); Strongin, Daniel (Port Jefferson, NY)

A method for producing high quality, thin layer films of inorganic compounds upon the surface of a substrate is disclosed. The method involves condensing a mixture of preselected molecular precursors on the surface of a substrate and subsequently inducing the formation of reactive species using high energy photon or charged particle irradiation. The reactive species react with one another to produce a film of the desired compound upon the surface of the substrate.
