Abstract:
A pressure sensitive semiconductor device which has a schottky barrier junction at an electrode lead-out portion of one region of a p-n-p or n-p-n structure transistor and to which a pressure sensitive junction is formed by providing a pressure applying means to the schottky barrier junction which has a high sensitivity since it amplifies a pressure response signal by the amplifying action of the transistor.
Abstract:
A pressure-sensitive semi-conductor device with a Schottky barrier in which a separation space is formed underneath the insulating film covering a major surface portion of the semiconductor substrate and disposed adjacent a metal layer received in a recess in the substrate and extending through an opening in the insulating film, whereby the input pressure is applied to the metal layer. The separation space is formed by side-etching with the insulating film serving as mask.
Abstract:
A semi-conductor device, such as diode transistor, field effect transistor with a Schottky barrier, has a separation space formed underneath the insulating film covering a major surface portion of the semiconductor substrate. This separation space is disposed adjacent to a metal layer accommodated in a recess in the substrate and extending through an opening in the insulating film, so as to eliminate unreasonable reverse leakage current, by effectively insulating the Schottky barrier from the electric charge accumulation layer beneath the insulating film.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a pressure-sensitive transistor whose emitter or collector junction is formed by use of a Schottky barrier junction and wherein the current through the transistor changes in accordance with the applied pressure when pressure is applied to said junction by pressure applying means. Such a transistor is advantageous in that a high pressure-to-current conversion factor is obtained, little noise is generated at the junction, and the reverse leakage current appearing at the junction is extremely small.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device having a Schottky barrier junction formed in the bottom of a polygonal recess on a surface of a semiconductor substrate comprises an undercut in the recess beneath an insulating mask formed on the substrate, and a metal passing through the mask and extending to the bottom of the recess for forming said junction. The undercut provides an enclosed spacing encircling the junction portion of said metal and said semiconductor, thereby improving the backward breakdown voltage characteristic therein.

[Also in Division C7] A molybdenum or tungsten ohmic contact on semi-conductor material with a surface impurity concentration of 10 18 cm. -3 or more is provided by deposition from the hydrogen reduction of a halide of the metal or thermal decomposition of a carbonyl compound of the metal on to the semi-conductor which is at 500‹ C. or less. Fig. 1 shows an N-type 70 ohm-cm. silicon wafer 2 into which phosphorus has been diffused to form N-type region 3 and, after slicing treatment, boron (from boron trioxide suspended in monomethylenestycolethyl) is diffused in to form P-type region 1. Molybdenum films 4 are then applied by supporting the slice on a pedestal 12 (Fig. 2), hydrogen being fed from pipe 17 over a tray 14 of molybdenum pentachloride at 100‹ C. through a heated mesh 19 to deposit the molybdenum film. A gold film is evaporated on to the molybdenum and a copper block 5 thermo compression bonded with a gold foil to the gold. The invention is distinguished from a similar process to provide a Schottky barrier electrode as described in Specification 1,172,230. The semi-conductor material may consist of silicon, germanium or gallium arsenide.
Abstract:
In a semiconductor device with a four-layer structure having the so-called thyristor characteristic, when the control electrode for controlling its breakover voltage is constructed by the Schottky barrier and a means to apply a stress to the barrier, the breakover voltage of the said semiconductor device can be controlled by the stress. If this device is assembled in a circuit system, the circuit system can be set to either the "off" or "on" state, corresponding to the applied stress.
