Semiconductor mechanical sensors

Piezojunction effect and applications in transducers, showing needle and mesa configurations as most promising methods

Monteith, L. K.↗

Proposed semiconductor film improvement

Film grown in inert carriers (A, He, or N) displays low impurity, high mobility, and improved crystal structure. Annealing steps used in growing process improves film quality and allows utilization of film for Gunn and LSA devices.

A high resolution semiconductor detector for applications in space

Nuclear radiation detectors with volumes of approximately 1 cu cm was fabricated from single crystals of germanium-silicon alloy containing as much as 20 weight percent germanium. The properties of these detectors were investigated and will be discussed. Tests reveal that the gamma ray photoelectric peak efficiency of an alloy detector with only 12 weight percent germanium is approximately 4 times that of a silicon detector of equal volume. The room temperature roomure appears to be a good possibility. Storage for long periods at room temperature does not seem to adversely affect these devices. The results of preliminary radiation damage experiments suggest that the alloy detectors possess a radiation damage resistance far greater than that of silicon.

Cavity perturbation techniques for measurement of the microwave conductivity and dielectric constant of a bulk semiconductor material.

Cavity perturbation techniques offer a very sensitive and highly versatile means for studying the complex microwave conductivity of a bulk material. A knowledge of the cavity coupling factor in the absence of perturbation, together with the change in the reflected power and the cavity resonance frequency shift, are adequate for the determination of the material properties. This eliminates the need to determine the Q-factor change with perturbation which may lead to appreciable error, especially in the presence of mismatch loss. The measurement accuracy can also be improved by a proper choice of the cavity coupling factor prior to the perturbation.
