A process is disclosed for in-situ fabricating a semiconductor component
imbedded in a substrate. A substrate is ablated with a first laser beam
to form a void therein. A first conductive element is formed in the void
of the substrate with a second laser beam. A semiconductor material is
deposited upon the first conductive element with a third laser beam
operating in the presence of a depositing atmosphere. A second conductive
element is formed on the first semiconductor material with a fourth laser
beam. The process may be used for fabricating a Schottky barrier diode or
a junction field effect transistor and the like.
