2749 results about "Epitaxy" patented technology

Epitaxy refers to a type of crystal growth or material deposition in which new crystalline layers are formed with a well-defined orientation with respect to the crystalline substrate. The new layers formed are called the epitaxial film or epitaxial layer. The relative orientation of the epitaxial layer to the crystalline substrate is defined in terms of the orientation of the crystal lattice of each material. For epitaxial growth, the new layer will be crystalline and will all have a single orientation relative to the substrate; amorphous growth or multicrystalline growth with random crystal orientation does not meet this criteria.

Systems and methods for additive manufacturing and repair of metal components

Scanning Laser Epitaxy (SLE) is a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process that allows for the fabrication of three-dimensional objects with specified microstructure through the controlled melting and re-solidification of a metal powders placed atop a base substrate. SLE can be used to repair single crystal (SX) turbine airfoils, for example, as well as the manufacture functionally graded turbine components. The SLE process is capable of creating equiaxed, directionally solidified, and SX structures. Real-time feedback control schemes based upon an offline model can be used both to create specified defect free microstructures and to improve the repeatability of the process. Control schemes can be used based upon temperature data feedback provided at high frame rate by a thermal imaging camera as well as a melt-pool viewing video microscope. A real-time control scheme can deliver the capability of creating engine ready net shape turbine components from raw powder material.

Bulk nitride mono-crystal including substrate for epitaxy

The invention relates to a substrate for epitaxy, especially for preparation of nitride semiconductor layers. Invention covers a bulk nitride mono-crystal characterized in that it is a mono-crystal of gallium nitride and its cross-section in a plane perpendicular to c-axis of hexagonal lattice of gallium nitride has a surface area greater than 100 mm2, it is more than 1.0 μm thick and its C-plane surface dislocation density is less than 106/cm2, while its volume is sufficient to produce at least one further-processable non-polar A-plane or M-plane plate having a surface area at least 100 mm2. More generally, the present invention covers a bulk nitride mono-crystal which is characterized in that it is a mono-crystal of gallium-containing nitride and its cross-section in a plane perpendicular to c-axis of hexagonal lattice of gallium-containing nitride has a surface area greater than 100 mm2, it is more 1.0 μm thick and its surface dislocation density is less than 106/cm2. Mono-crystals according to the present invention are suitable for epitaxial growth of nitride semiconductor layers. Due to their good crystalline quality they are suitable for use in opto-electronics for manufacturing opto-electronic semiconductor devices based on nitrides, in particular for manufacturing semiconductor laser diodes and laser devices. The a.m bulk mono-crystals of gallium-containing nitride are crystallized on seed crystals. Various seed crystals may be used. The bulk mono-crystals of gallium-containing nitride are crystallized by a method involving dissolution of a gallium-containing feedstock in a supercritical solvent and crystallization of a gallium nitride on a surface of seed crystal, at temperature higher and/or pressure lower than in the dissolution process.
