253 results about "Absorption edge" patented technology

An absorption edge, absorption discontinuity or absorption limit is a sharp discontinuity in the absorption spectrum of a substance. These discontinuities occur at wavelengths where the energy of an absorbed photon corresponds to an electronic transition or ionization potential. When the quantum energy of the incident radiation becomes smaller than the work required to eject an electron from one or other quantum states in the constituent absorbing atom, the incident radiation ceases to be absorbed by that state. For example, incident radiation on an atom of a wavelength that has a corresponding energy just below the binding energy of the K-shell electron in that atom cannot eject the K-shell electron.

Laser-based method and system for memory link processing with picosecond lasers

A laser-based method of removing a target link structure of a circuit fabricated on a substrate includes generating a pulsed laser output at a pre-determined wavelength less than an absorption edge of the substrate. The laser output includes at least one pulse having a pulse duration in the range of about 10 picoseconds to less than 1 nanosecond, the pulse duration being within a thermal laser processing range. The method also includes delivering and focusing the laser output onto the target link structure. The focused laser output has sufficient power density at a location within the target structure to reduce the reflectivity of the target structure and efficiently couple the focused laser output into the target structure to remove the link without damaging the substrate.

Method for determining the temperature of semiconductor substrates from bandgap spectra

An optical method for measuring the temperature of a substrate material with a temperature dependent band edge. In this method both the position and the width of the knee of the band edge spectrum of the substrate are used to determine temperature. The width of the knee is used to correct for the spurious shifts in the position of the knee caused by: (i) thin film interference in a deposited layer on the substrate; (ii) anisotropic scattering at the back of the substrate; (iii) the spectral variation in the absorptance of deposited layers that absorb in the vicinity of the band edge of the substrate; and (iv) the spectral dependence in the optical response of the wavelength selective detection system used to obtain the band edge spectrum of the substrate. The adjusted position of the knee is used to calculate the substrate temperature from a predetermined calibration curve. This algorithm is suitable for real-time applications as the information needed to correct the knee position is obtained from the spectrum itself. Using a model for the temperature dependent shape of the absorption edge in GaAs and InP, the effect of substrate thickness and the optical geometry of the method used to determine the band edge spectrum, are incorporated into the calibration curve.
