    Abstract: PURPOSE:To make one period of an hourly variation of an intensity of a diffraction image correspond to a variation of a film thickness of a specified atomic layer, by making an electron beam incident from a specified direction of an Si substrate in the course of growth of a thin film crystal, and observing the hourly variation of the intensity of the diffraction image. CONSTITUTION:In the course of growth of a silicon thin film crystal, an electron beam 102 is made incident an bearing of a silicon substrate 100 on which a (001) surface for a crystal growth is a main surface.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manufacture a wide band semiconductor saturable absorption reflector having high reflectance by additionally providing a thin film of a dielectric substance transparent to light in a specified wavelength range and exhibiting refractive index lower than that of a semiconductor multiplayer film structure for the light in the specified wavelength range between a metal face and a semiconductor multilayer film structure. SOLUTION: A transparent substance 7 having different refractive index is arranged between the metallic reflective film 3 of a wide band semiconductor saturable absorption reflector and semiconductor layers 4, 5, 6 in order to enhance reflectance. The transparent substance 7 must be transparent over the entire wavelength range of optical spectrum in a pulse laser utilizing a wide band semiconductor saturable absorption reflector. In order to attaing a significant effect, refractive index of the transparent substance must be sufficiently lower than that of the semiconductor layers 4, 5, 6 and sufficiently higher than that of the metal. A substance having such a refractive index can be selected generally among so-called dielectrics.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To measure the surface temperature of solid material accurately with a better reproducibility, by detecting hourly changes in the intensity of electron reflected, diffracted or scattered on the surface of the solid material or the cycle of hourly changes in the absorption current flowing through the solid material. CONSTITUTION:An incident electron beam 11 from an electron gun 10 is reflected, diffracted or scattered on the surface of a substrate and the reflected electron beam and the diffracted electron beam obtained in a proper direction projects spot images on a fluorescent screen 12. These spot images are formed on an X-Y stage 14 with a camera or a lens 13 and one thereof is supplied to a photodetector 16 through an optical fiber 15 from the stage 14 to record the hourly changes in the output thereof by observing with a recorder 17. It is already discovered that the intensity of the specular spot in which the normal reflection highest in the intensity among those of the diffracted images is overlapped with the 0-order Laue point vibrates during the grow of crystal but the vibration thereof continues even after the growth is stopped. The relationship between the cycle of the vibration after the stoppage of the growth and the substrate temperature is memorized into a computer to be compared with the actually measured cycle, thereby enabling automatic measurement of temperature.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To estimate the state of crystal growth and to control the titled thickness of film, by measuring change of intensity of diffraction pattern of reflection electron rays with time, corresponding a monoatomic layer. CONSTITUTION:The image of diffusion pattern of reflection electron rays of crystal on the substrate 1 formed on the screen 14 by the gun 12 of a diffusion device of reflection electron rays is made on the X-Y stage 18 by the camera lens 16, light at one point of the image is transferred to the receptor 19 by the fiber 17, its output signal is fed from the A-D converter 21 to the computer 22. On the other hand, the output signal of the receptor 19 is made to output to the recorder 20, and monitered. The shutter make-and-break drive control device 23 is operated by the order of the computer 22, so the shutters 8 of the material 3 required for crystal growth, the main shutter 9, the pulling voltage of the ion gun 4, regulation of gas flow rate, closing and opening, half opening, ON, OFF, etc. of electronic current flow of the electron gun 35 are controlled. Since one period of vibration of the diffusion pattern of reflection electron beam is correspondent to a monoatomic layer, the order of the growing layer can be estimated by the number of vibrations from biginning of crystal growth.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To increase a current amplification factor of a semiconductor device by using a superlattice of a semiconductor as a base layer to suppress the scatter of hot electrons in the base in an HET, thereby reducing a base current and increasing a collector current. CONSTITUTION:A base layer 5 is formed in a superlattice structure obtained by alternately laminating a first semiconductor layer 9 and a second semiconductor layer 10. When an HET is composed of less types of materials, the semiconductor 10 is formed of the same material as a collector barrier 6, and the semiconductor 9 is formed of the same material as an emitter 2. A superlattice may be formed of a material different from a mixed crystal composition ratio of those of the barrier 6 or emitter 3. Thus, the scatter of hot electrons in the base of the HET can be suppressed to thereby reduce a base current and to increase a collector current and to increase a current amplification factor.
