A method of forming a metal contact and passivation of a semiconductor feature, and devices made using the method. The method comprises the steps of forming a dielectric mask on a semiconductor substrate utilising photolithography processes; etching the semiconductor substrate such that
A method for forming a modified semiconductor having a number of band gaps involves providing a semiconductor having a surface and a quantum region which emits photons in response to electrical or optical stimulation, the quantum region having an original band gap and being disposed unde
