Method of making suspended thin-film semiconductor piezoelectric devices

Patent Casalnuovo, Stephen A [Albuquerque, NM]; Frye-Mason, Gregory C [Cedar Crest, NM]

A process for forming a very thin suspended layer of piezoelectric material of thickness less than 10 microns. The device is made from a combination of GaAs and AlGaAs layers to form either a sensor or an electronic filter. Onto a GaAs substrate is epitaxially deposited a thin (1-5 micron) sacrificial AlGaAs layer, followed by a thin GaAs top layer. In one embodiment the substrate is selectively etched away from below until the AlGaAs layer is reached. Then a second selective etch removes the sacrificial AlGaAs layer, that has acted here as an etch stop, leaving the thin suspended layermore » « less

Method for making photovoltaic devices using oxygenated semiconductor thin film layers

Patent Johnson, James Neil; Albin, David Scott; Feldman-Peabody, Scott; ...

A method for making a photovoltaic device is presented. The method includes steps of disposing a window layer on a substrate and disposing an absorber layer on the window layer. Disposing the window layer, the absorber layer, or both layers includes introducing a source material into a deposition zone, wherein the source material comprises oxygen and a constituent of the window layer, of the absorber layer or of both layers. The method further includes step of depositing a film that comprises the constituent and oxygen.

Nanocomposite-seeded epitaxial growth of single-domain lithium niobate thin films for surface acoustic wave devices

Patent Wang, Haiyan; Paldi, Robynn-Lynne; Siddiqui, Aleem

A method for making LNO film, including the steps of identifying a substrate, identifying a deposition target, placing the substrate and deposition target in a deposition environment, evolving target material into the deposition environment, and depositing evolved target material onto the substrate to yield an LNO film. The deposition environment defines a temperature of between 500 degrees Celsius and 750 degrees Celsius and a pressure of about 10⁻⁶ Torr. A seed or buffer layer may be first deposited onto the substrate, wherein the seed layer is about 30 mole percent gold and about 70 LiNbO₃.
