Title: Direct flow crystal growth system

Abstract

A crystal is grown in a constantly filtered solution which is flowed directly into the growing face of a crystal. In a continuous flow system, solution at its saturation temperature is removed from a crystal growth tank, heated above its saturation temperature, filtered, cooled back to its saturation temperature, and returned to the tank.

Method for growing a silicon crystal substrate from a melt by directing a flow of molten silicon around a baffle structure

Patent Carlson, Frederick M.; Helenbrook, Brian T.

An apparatus for growing a silicon crystal substrate comprising a heat source, an anisotropic thermal load leveling component, a crucible, and a cold plate component is disclosed. The anisotropic thermal load leveling component possesses a high thermal conductivity and may be positioned atop the heat source to be operative to even-out temperature and heat flux variations emanating from the heat source. The crucible may be operative to contain molten silicon in which the top surface of the molten silicon may be defined as a growth interface. The crucible may be substantially surrounded by the anisotropic thermal load leveling component. Themore » « less

System for growth of large aluminum nitride single crystals with thermal-gradient control

Patent Bondokov, Robert T.; Rao, Shailaja P.; Gibb, Shawn Robert; ...

In various embodiments, non-zero thermal gradients are formed within a growth chamber both substantially parallel and substantially perpendicular to the growth direction during formation of semiconductor crystals, where the ratio of the two thermal gradients (parallel to perpendicular) is less than 10, by, e.g., arrangement of thermal shields outside of the growth chamber.

Magnetohydrodynamic pump with a system for promoting flow of fluid in one direction

Patent Lemoff, Asuncion V [Union City, CA]; Lee, Abraham P [Irvine, CA]

A magnetohydrodynamic pump for pumping a fluid. The pump includes a microfluidic channel for channeling the fluid, a MHD electrode/magnet system operatively connected to the microfluidic channel, and a system for promoting flow of the fluid in one direction in the microfluidic channel. The pump has uses in the medical and biotechnology industries for blood-cell-separation equipment, biochemical assays, chemical synthesis, genetic analysis, drug screening, an array of antigen-antibody reactions, combinatorial chemistry, drug testing, medical and biological diagnostics, and combinatorial chemistry. The pump also has uses in electrochromatography, surface micromachining, laser ablation, inkjet printers, and mechanical micromilling.

Direct growth of metal nanoplates on semiconductor substrates

Patent Sun, Yugang

Metal nanoplates are grown on n-type and p-type semiconductor wafer substrates through galvanic reactions between substantially pure aqueous metal solutions and the substrates. The morphology of the resulting metal nanoplates that protrude from the substrate can be tuned by controlling the concentration of the metal solution and the reaction time of the solution with the semiconductor wafer. Nanoplate size gradually increases with prolonged growth time and the nanoplate thicknesses increases in a unique stepwise fashion due to polymerization and fusion of adjacent nanoplates. Further, the roughness of the nanoplates can also be controlled. In a particular embodiment, Ag nanoplates aremore » « less
