In this paper the processing, properties and applications of interdiffusion in III-V semiconductor quantum well structures for optoelectronic device applications are reviewed. The interdiffusion process and its influence on the characteristics of a range of III-V quantum well structures are discussed. The use of this process for the post growth modification of QW structures is also discussed, including the tuning of laser characteristics. In addition, the use of the process for three dimensional structuring of devices is important for the isolation in optical integrated circuits.

The split-gate flash memory device is characterized. The oxide breakdown due to cumulative electron tunneling, viz. repeated erasure is investigated with the use of current injection experiments. The results are correlated with the observed device cycling behaviour. Also data for the gate disturbance, programming efficiency and capacitive coupling coefficients are presented and discussed.

The solid phase hetero-epitaxial growth of amorphous SiGe on Si(100) substrate has been investigated in this paper. The experimental results indicate that the solid phase epitaxy of the heterostructure Si/sub 1-x/Ge/sub x//Si can be achieved with different compositions through high temperature thermal processes such as boron diffusion, annealing and oxidation.

The application of a polymer to enhance the selectivity of a tin dioxide gas sensor is presented. Commercial polymer, XU218 of Ciba-Geigy company, is coated on the sensing film of a tin dioxide gas sensor FIGARO TGS842 which was designed to detect methane. The polymer coated sensor is calibrated in a high accuracy testing chamber that is controlled by PC with GPIB and mass flow controllers (MFCs). Three gases, hydrogen, methane, and ammonia, are used to investigate the response of the sensor. It is found that the sensor shows a characteristic change in response to ammonia and almost negligible change in response to hydrogen and methane.

We demonstrate the fabrication and the operation of voltage-controlled movable SOI optical waveguides. The fabrication process is based on surface micromachining the SOI substrates. The dynamic response is studied. Our results indicate that a switching voltage of only a few volts is enough to produce a useful deflection amplitude of the guided light for typical fiber optic switching applications. A deflection amplitude of 290 /spl mu/m for the guided light is demonstrated with voltage-controlled electrostatic actuation.

It is shown that nitridation of sputtered oxide by reactive sputtering can give a hardened oxide-silicon interface with reduced interface states generation after stress. SIMS analysis has confirmed the existence of SiN peak close to the oxide/silicon interface. A stacked SiO/sub 2//SiO/sub x/N/sub y/ structure is discussed relative to charge trapping, leakage current and mid-gap voltage shift.

The technology and equipment of the infrared rapid thermal annealing for VLSI is reported. The equipment used for rapid thermal annealing has been made with an radio frequency (RF)-induced graphite heater in a quartz housing as an infrared heating source. By using this technology and equipment the fabrication of shallow junction, the formation of silicide, the effect of BPSG reflow and annihilating the micro defects and thermal donor in CZ Si single crystal are discussed.

Efficient executions of branch instructions are one of the most important issues in implementing high performance microprocessors. Branching instructions are above 20% of total instruction in most programs. BTB (Branch Target Buffer) enhances the speed of branch instruction execution by predicting the branch path, including currently executed branch instruction address, prediction information, and target address. The BTB is designed as a 4-way set associative organization with 256 branch entries. Pseudo-LRU algorithm is used for replacement of lines instead of ordinary LRU algorithm. Also IP(Instruction Pointer) chain is designed for verifying the BTB.
