专利汇可以提供Fabricating a gallium phosphide device专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且With the method of this invention a layer of gallium phosphide is formed of liquid phase epitaxy. In this invention an N-type gallium phosphide substrate and a melt of gallium-gallium phosphide solution are disposed in a boat which is inserted in a quartz tube. The melt also contains oxygen and zinc which form a recombination center pair for red emission. Zinc is supplied as a vapor phase with carrier gas. The zinc concentration of the melt and vapor equilibrate with each other and the zinc concentration of the melt is selected in consideration of the distribution coefficient of zinc and the electron concentration of the N-type substrate. The substrate is then flooded with the melt and an epitaxial layer is deposited. The zinc is diffused into the epitaxial layer and gives it P-type conductivity, but it is not diffused into the substrate so much that a zinc-oxygen pair exists in the vicinity of a P-N junction. It improves the red emission efficiency of a gallium phosphide luminescent diode.,下面是Fabricating a gallium phosphide device专利的具体信息内容。
