Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A METHOD FOR PRODUCING GALLIUM PHOSPHIDE DIODES HAVING EMISSION IN THE REGION OF 5680 A. COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: INTRODUCING GALLIUM AND GALLIUM PHOSPHIDE INTO NONCONTAMINATING VESSELS IN A RATIO SUFFICIENT TO FORM A DILUTE SOLUTION WHEN HEATED, HEATING SAID GALLIUM AND GALLIUM PHOSPHIDE AT A TEMPERATURE SUFFICIENT TO REMOVE ALL GASES, SIMULTANEOUSLY INTRODUCING DONOR AND ACCEPTOR DOPANTS INTO SAID VESSEL, SEALING OFF SAID VESSEL, HEATING SAID GALLIUM, GALLIUM PHOSPHIDE AND SAID DOPANTS IN THE ABSENCE OF OXYGEN AT A TEMPERATURE AND FOR A TIME SUFFICIENT TO DISSOLVE SAID GALLIUM PHOPHIDE, AND COOLING SAID SOLUTION AT A RATE SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE DENDRITIC CRYSTAL GROWTH DURING WHICH SAID DOPANTS SEGREGATE TO FORM P-N LIGHT EMITTING JUCTIONS.
