Visible light electroluminescent diodes of indium-gallium phosphide

Vapor deposition and acceptor impurity diffusion techniques are used to prepare indium-gallium phosphide junctions. Certain problems in preparation are overcome by altering gas flow conditions and by increasing the concentration of phosphine in the gas. A general formula is given for the alloy's composition.

Epitaxial gallium arsenide wafers

The preparation of GaAs epitaxial layers by a vapor transport process using AsCl3, Ga and H2 was pursued to provide epitaxial wafers suitable for the fabrication of transferred electron oscillators and amplifiers operating in the subcritical region. Both n-n(+) structures, and n(++)-n-n(+) sandwich structures were grown using n(+) (Si-doped) GaAs substrates. Process variables such as the input AsCl3 concentration, gallium temperature, and substrate temperature and temperature gradient and their effects on properties are presented and discussed.

Effect of polarity of electric current on friction behavior of two gallium-lubricated tantalum slipring assemblies

Computer-processed data from low-speed (10 rpm) slipring experiments with two similar (but of opposite polarity) gallium-lubricated tantalum slipring assemblies (hemisphere against disk) carrying 50 amperes dc in vacuum (10 to the minus 9th power torr) showed that the slipring assembly with the anodic hemisphere had significantly lower peak-to-peak values and standard deviations of coefficient-of-friction samples (a measure of smoothness of operation) than the slipring assembly with the cathodic hemisphere. Similar data from an experiment with the same slipring assemblies running currentless showed more random differences in the frictional behavior between the two assemblies.

The creep properties of dispersion-strengthened silver-gallium oxide alloys.

Steady-state creep rates were measured for two preparations of a dispersion-strengthened alloy of silver with 1 mol % gallium oxide. One preparation, an internally-oxidized type, had a grain size 40 times that of the other preparation, which was a consolidated-powder type of alloy. The temperature and stress dependence of the steady-state creep rate differs widely for the two alloys and must be attributed to the difference in grain size. The activation energy for steady-state creep of the internally-oxidized coarse grained material is near that for self-diffusion of silver, which strongly indicates a creep process controlled by dislocation climb.

The electrical properties of 60 keV zinc ions implanted into semi-insulating gallium arsenide

The electrical behavior of zinc ions implanted into chromium-doped semiinsulating gallium arsenide was investigated by measurements of the sheet resistivity and Hall effect. Room temperature implantations were performed using fluence values from 10 to the 12th to 10 to the 15th power/sq cm at 60 keV. The samples were annealed for 30 minutes in a nitrogen atmosphere up to 800 C in steps of 200 C and the effect of this annealing on the Hall effect and sheet resistivity was studied at room temperature using the Van der Pauw technique. The temperature dependence of sheet resistivity and mobility was measured from liquid nitrogen temperature to room temperature. Finally, a measurement of the implanted profile was obtained using a layer removal technique combined with the Hall effect and sheet resistivity measurements.

Development of gallium aluminum phosphide electroluminescent diodes

Work done on the development of gallium aluminum phosphide alloys for electroluminescent light sources is described. The preparation of this wide band gap semiconductor alloy, its physical properties (particularly the band structure, the electrical characteristics, and the light emitting properties) and work done on the fabrication of diode structures from these alloys are broadly covered.
