Abstract
A self-organized nanometer interface structure is disclosed. During the reactive sputtering process, the chemical dynamics difference among reactants induces self-organization to form a special nanometer interface structure. The nanometer interface structure naturally form an interface potential difference so that it has a rectifying effect in a particular range of potential variation range. Therefore, it functions like a diode. Such a self-organized nanometer interface structure can be used in the manufacturing of diodes, transistors, light-emitting devices, and sonic devices. The invention has the advantages of a wide variety of material selections, highly compatible processes, easy operations, and low-cost fabrications.
