    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a decompression exhaust system and decompression vapor- phase treating apparatus good in pressure controllability and high in safety and availability of the apparatus. SOLUTION: A decompression exhaust system having a vacuum pump 2 with a butterfly valve 1 and two exhaust units having mutually connected intakes is connected to a reactor 11 of a decompression MOCVD(metal org. compd. chemical vapor deposition) apparatus. For controlling the growth pressure in the reactor 11 being evacuated, both exhaust units are used at the same time. If required, an N2 gas is fed into exhausting pipings 3 at the upstream of the valves 1 of the exhaust units to reduce nearly to zero between the pressure difference at both exhaust nits. In other example, a similar decompression exhaust system is connected to two or more reactors 11 of a decompression MOCVD apparatus.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To analyze the impurity on the surface of a substrate in quantitatively with high precision by forming a cap layer having the same composition to that of a compound semiconductor substrate on the substrate and carrying out the secondary ion mass spectrometry. CONSTITUTION:A cap layer 3 which essentially has the same composition to that of a substrate 1 is formed on a compound seeconductor substrate 1, and the secondary ion mass spectrometry is carried out from the surface of the cap layer 3 at least to the interface between the cap layer 3 and the substrate 1. Further, a contaminating impurity layer 2 is formed on the substrate 1, and the thickness of the cap layer 3 is set to about 100-300mum in order to prevent the peak of the impurity which is obtained by the analysis from being too broad and prevent the initial effect from being suppressed insufficiently. Accordingly, the impurity on the surface of the substrate 1 can be analyzed quantitatively with high precision.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent the fluctuations of the waste gas pressure at the outlet and inlet of a jet scrubber by incorporating the scrubber having a gas suction port as its open end into a dust collecting tank. CONSTITUTION:A spray nozzle 34 communicating with a line 32 for a pressurized liq. current and a jet scrubber 37 having a gas suction port 38 opened in a dust collecting tank 30 are vertically set in the tank 30. A waste gas line 33 for the dust-free gas is provided at the upper end of the tank 30 and a waste liq. line 39 at the bottom. The waste liq. line 39 is connected to the line 32. Consequently, the waste gas pressure is not fluctuated at the outlet and inlet. Accordingly, the dust collector is appropriately used as the one for the waste gas from the harmful gas source of the semiconductor production device, etc., in which pressure fluctuations are strictly prohibited.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce the quantity of a flue gas and facilitate the disposal thereof by using oxygen gas of a specific concentration as a combustion-supporting gas, specifying the quantity of noncombustible gas introduced into the furnace, burning a poisonous flue gas, bringing the combustion gas in contact with the cooling surface of a solid, and furthermore apply a spray of waterdrops to the combustion gas prior to discharging. CONSTITUTION:The poisonous gases to which the present method of disposal is applicable are compounds of arsine, phosphine, and the like which produce solid fine powders by combustion. Oxygen gas with a concentration of 60 vol.% or larger is used as a combustion-supporting gas. The total of the noncombustible gases including combustion-supporting gas and ventilating gas, which are introduced into the furnace, should be 4 vol. parts or less per vol. part of poisonous exhaust gas. When secondary oxygen is put in through a pipe 23, primary oxygen through a pipe 22, and a poisonous flue gas through a pipe 21 for the combustion, a combustion gas containing solid fi powder is produced. When the product is cooled by means of a cooling surface 15 and waterdrops from a spray nozzle 30, the solid fine powder is captured and absorbed by condensed water and waterdrops and discharged out of the furnace together with combustion exhaust through a drainpipe 13. This method facilitates the disposal of the title gas.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a semi-insulating AlInAs crystal film of high resistance, excellent in crystallinity, by Fe doping at the time of a crystal growth of AlInAs. CONSTITUTION:A buffer layer 3 by semi-insulating AlInAs, a channel layer 4 by undoped GaInAs, a spacer layer 5 by undoped AlInAs and an n-AlInAs layer 6 are formed in turn on a semi-insulating InP substrate 2 by a MOCVD method. A gate electrode 7, a source electrode 8, and a drain electrode 9 and formed on the n-AlInAs layer 6. A two-dimensional electron gas 10 is formed in the undoped channel layer 4 of GaInAs. It is formed in this way. Since the thickness of the channel layer 3 is thin 100Angstrom or thereabouts at the current design value, if it is grown in an InP substrate 2 directly, one with excellent crystallization cannot be obtained owing to an influence of the substrate 2. To eliminate the influence of the substrate 2 and form a highly crystalline channel layer, a buffer layer is interposed. Therefore, for a buffer layer, it must by formed as thin as possible in order to eliminate the influence of a substrate to a channel layer.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a highly efficient semiconductor layer, which can specify a current path without providing a special means such as a current narrowing region, by providing clad layers in specified super-lattice structures, and providing the narrowing effect of the current path by the transmission anisotropy of said structure. CONSTITUTION:Neighboring clad layers 2 and 4, which hold an active layer 3, are formed by semiconductor layers having super-lattice structures, wherein a plurality of different semiconductor forming material layers L1, L2,... each having eight atomic layers, are alternately grown epitaxially. An electrode 7 is locally provided in correspondence with transmission anisotropy and the light emitting region of said suer-lattice structure. A current narrowing effect is obtained in the light emitting region together with the electrode 1. For example, the first and second clad layers 2 and 4 are formed by an AlAs layer and a GaAs layer, in which n-type and p-type impurities are doped, respectively, at a ratio of (AlAs)n and (GaAs)m. Each has 1-6 atomic layers, i.e., both (n) and (m) are made to be 1-6. The super-lattice structure comprises very thin semiconductor material layrs, each having said ratio. Thus, the current path can be restricted to a part directly beneath the electrode deposited part only by forming the clad layers in the super-lattice structure. Heat from a light emitting part can be effectively radiated.
