| 20090146133 | HYBRID SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE - A method for the fabrication of a semiconductor structure that includes areas that have different crystalline orientation and semiconductor structure formed thereby. The disclosed method allows fabrication of a semiconductor structure that has areas of different semiconducting materials. The method employs templated crystal growth using a Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) growth process. A silicon semiconductor substrate having a first crystal orientation direction is etched to have an array of holes into its surface. A separation layer is formed on the inner surface of the hole for appropriate applications. A growth catalyst is placed at the bottom of the hole and a VLS crystal growth process is initiated to form a nanowire. The resultant nanowire crystal has a second different crystal orientation which is templated by the geometry of the hole. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090200540 | Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Device Including a Multiple-Layer Energy Filter - A MOS device includes first and second source/drains spaced apart relative to one another. A channel is formed in the device between the first and second source/drains. A gate is formed in the device between the first and second source/drains and proximate the channel, the gate being electrically isolated from the first and second source/drains and the channel. The gate is configured to control a conduction of the channel as a function of a potential applied to the gate. The MOS device further includes an energy filter formed between the first source/drain and the channel. The energy filter includes a superlattice structure wherein a mini-band is formed. The energy filter is operative to control an injection of carriers from the first source/drain into the channel. The energy filter, in combination with the first source/drain, is configured to produce an effective zero-Kelvin first source/drain. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20100001301 | ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THEREOF AND ARRAY OF ORGANIC LIGHT EMITTING DEVICES - The present invention is directed to an organic light emitting device (OLED) including a first electrode, a second electrode, at least one layer of organic material arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a dielectric capping layer arranged on the second electrode opposite to the first electrode, wherein the capping layer comprises an outer surface, opposite to the second electrode, for emission of light generated in the at least one layer of organic material. The capping layer has the effect that a reflectance of external light is reduced whereas outcoupling of the light generated in the at least one layer of organic material through the capping layer is increased. | 01-07-2010 |
