Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing self-lubricating, maintenance-free bearings, in particular bushes or thrust washers, according to which at least bronze powder is used. The bronze powder is sintered in a furnace at a temperature of </= 850 DEG  C in a protective gas atmosphere and the pores of the sintered bronze are filled by vacuum infiltration with a PTFE suspension. The bronze powder is cold pressed prior to sintering in a die to form a solid material slug comprising a wall thickness of between 2 and 20 mm, in such a way that the slug has uniformly distributed, open pores with a porosity of between 20 and 50 vol. %. The solid material slug is then sintered in such a way that the uniformly distributed, open pores stabilise. The invention also relates to a corresponding self-lubricating solid-material bearing consisting of sintered bronze, in which between 2 and 10 wt. % PTFE, (in relation to the total material) is deposited in the pores of the sintered material and in which the PTFE fraction below an inlet region fluctuates by a maximum 10 % over the total wall thickness.

Abstract: Methods for producing buried tunnel junctions in surface-emitting semi-conductor lasers and devices incorporating the buried tunnel junctions are disclosed. The laser comprises an active zone containing a pn-junction, surrounded by a first n-doped semi-conductor layer and at least one p-doped semi-conductor layer. In addition to a tunnel junction on the p-side of the active zone, the tunnel junction borders a second n-doped semi-conductor layer. For burying the tunnel junction, the layer provided for the tunnel junction is removed laterally in a first step using material-selective etching until the desired diameter is achieved and then heated in a second step in a suitable atmosphere until the etched region is sealed by mass transport from at least one of the semi-conductor layers bordering the tunnel junction. This enables surface-emitting laser diodes to be produced in high yields with stabilization of the lateral single-mode operation and high performance.
