ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method for treating devices based on semiconductor and dielectric materials for improving their electrical, photoelectric, optical, luminescent and noise characteristics, for decreasing internal residual stresses in heterostructures and for increasing the device lifetime and the stability of its parameters. The method comprises subjecting the device to acoustic vibrations in the frequency range of 0.01 to 100 MHz, at an amplitude of relative acoustic strain in the range of 0.2.multidot.10.sup.-5 to 8.multidot.10.sup.-5, for a period of at least 0.25 hour.
