Appl. No.:
09/353526
Inventors:
Karim S. Boutros - Moorpark CA
Dmitri D. Krut - Encino CA
Nasser H. Karam - Northridge CA

Abstract:
An apparatus and method are described for making a solar cell with an integrated bypass diode. The method comprises the steps of depositing a second layer having a first type of dopant on a first layer having an opposite type of dopant to the first type of dopant to form a solar cell, depositing a third layer having the first type of dopant on the second layer, depositing a fourth layer having the opposite type of dopant on the third layer, the third layer and fourth layer forming a bypass diode, selectively etching the third layer and the fourth layer to expose the second layer and the third layer, and applying contacts to the fourth layer, third layer, and the first layer to allow electrical connections to the assembly. The apparatus comprises a first layer having a first type of dopant, a second layer having a second type of dopant opposite to the first type of dopant, wherein the first layer and the second layer form a solar cell, a third layer, coupled to the second layer, and a fourth layer, coupled to the third layer, the third layer and the fourth layer forming a bypass diode.

Integrated Semiconductor Circuits On Photo-Active Germanium Substrates

View page
US Patent:
7151307, Dec 19, 2006
Filed:
Nov 20, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/718426
Inventors:
Karim S. Boutros - Moorpark CA, US
Nasser H. Karam - Northridge CA, US
Dimitri D. Krut - Encino CA, US
Moran Haddad - Winnetka CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
H01L 31/0328
H01L 31/117
US Classification:
257616, 257189, 257201, 257613
Abstract:
A semiconductor device having at least one layer of a group III–V semiconductor material epitaxially deposited on a group III–V nucleation layer adjacent to a germanium substrate. By introducing electrical contacts on one or more layers of the semiconductor device, various optoelectronic and microelectronic circuits may be formed on the semiconductor device having similar quality to conventional group III–V substrates at a substantial cost savings. Alternatively, an active germanium device layer having electrical contacts may be introduced to a portion of the germanium substrate to form an optoelectronic integrated circuit or a dual optoelectronic and microelectronic device on a germanium substrate depending on whether the electrical contacts are coupled with electrical contacts on the germanium substrate and epitaxial layers, thereby increase the functionality of the semiconductor devices.

Appl. No.:
12/256321
Inventors:
Yin Tat Ma - Thousand Oaks CA, US
Jonathan Hacker - Thousand Oaks CA, US
Karim S. Boutros - Malibu CA, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

Two Stage Plasma Etching Method For Enhancement Mode Gan Hfet

View page
US Patent:
8124505, Feb 28, 2012
Filed:
Oct 21, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/909497
Inventors:
Shawn D Burnham - Oxnard CA, US
Karim S. Boutros - Moorpark CA, US
Assignee:
HRL Laboratories, LLC - Malibu CA
International Classification:
H01L 21/20
H01L 21/36
H01L 31/20
US Classification:
438483, 438172, 257E21407, 257E2145
Abstract:
A two stage plasma etching technique is described that allows the fabrication of an enhancement mode GaN HFET/HEMT. A gate recess area is formed in the Aluminum Gallium Nitride barrier layer of an GaN HFET/HEMT. The gate recess is formed by a two stage etching process. The first stage of the technique uses oxygen to oxidize the surface of the Aluminum Gallium Nitride barrier layer below the gate. Then the second stage uses Boron tricloride to remove the oxidized layer. The result is a self limiting etch process that uniformly thins the Aluminum Gallium Nitride layer below the HFET's gate region such that the two dimensional electron gas is not formed below the gate, thus creating an enhancement mode HFET.

Quasi-Optical Array Amplifier

View page
US Patent:
20060139739, Jun 29, 2006
Filed:
Nov 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/956231
Inventors:
J. Higgins - Westlake Village CA, US
Avijit Bhunia - Thousand Oaks CA, US
Karim Boutros - Moorpark CA, US
International Classification:
H01S 3/00
US Classification:
359333000
Abstract:
The present invention is an array amplifier designed to alleviate thermal limitations and to provide better power combining efficiency for an array of high power density semiconductor devices. A semiconductor device having an aggregate size required to provide a desired output power is split into many small thermally isolated “unit cells”, each of which is equipped with antennas for input and for output. Power is combined ‘spatially’ off-chip, with each small unit cell operating at a moderate temperature which will not adversely affect performance.
