摘要:
A semiconductor structure is described, including a semiconductor substrate (12) and a semiconductor layer (14) disposed on the semiconductor substrate (12). The semiconductor layer (14) is both compositionally graded and structurally graded. Specifically, the semiconductor layer (14) is compositionally graded through its thickness from substantially intrinsic at the interface (16) with the substrate (12) to substantially doped at an opposite surface (18). Further, the semiconductor layer (14) is structurally graded through its thickness from substantially crystalline at the interface (16) with the substrate (12) to substantially amorphous at the opposite surface (18). Related methods are also described.

摘要:
A waveguide (116) fabrication method includes depositing a photodefinable copolymer material (14) comprising methyl methacrylate, tetrafluoropropyl methacrylate, and an epoxy monomer; fixing optical elements (10, 12) relative to the copolymer material; sending light through at least one of the optical elements and copolymer material towards the other; volatilizing uncured monomer. Another waveguide (116) fabrication method includes: fixing optical elements (110, 112) relative to each other, each having an optical surface (11, 13); providing a copolymer blob (114) over the optical surfaces with sufficient surface tension to result in the copolymer blob having a curved surface (15); sending light through each of the optical elements towards the curved surface and the other; volatilizing uncured monomer. An optical path fabrication method comprises: fixing optical elements (70, 76) relative to each other, each having an optical surface (71, 77); translating and rotating a mirror (78) until aligned to optimally direct light from one of the optical elements to the other; securing the aligned mirror in position.
摘要:
An anti-reflection coating is described. The coating is disposed on a surface of a substrate. The anti-reflection coating includes an array of substantially transparent nanostructures having a primary axis substantially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The array of substantially transparent nanostructures is characterized by a graded refractive index. In some embodiments, each of the nanostructures has a substantially uniform cross-sectional area along the primary axis. Related methods and devices are also described.
