    摘要: This invention teaches two new families of Si-based Ge/SnxGe1-x heterodiode and multiple quantum well (MQW) photonic devices: (1) band-to-band photodetectors, lasers, emitters, amplifiers and modulators for the 1.5 to 12 μm wavelength range; (2) intersubband photodetectors, lasers, emitters and modulators for 12 to 100 μm operation. The bipolar band-to-band devices have applications within the 1.5-2.2, 3-5 and 8-to-12 μm bands. The unipolar intersubband group has longwave infrared and terahertz applications. All strained-layer devices are grown a relaxed SnySizGe1-y-z buffer layer—a virtual substrate (VS) grown directly upon a silicon wafer by unique LT UHV-CVD. The VS provides a low-defect atomic template for subsequent heteroepitaxy and is an essential enabling technique for engineering tensile and compressive strain within the Ge/SnxGe1-x MQW by selecting the VS lattice parameter to be approx midway between the layer lattices.

    摘要: A semiconductor substrate, suitable for epitaxial growth thereon, comprising a plurality of layers of material. The interfaces between layers act as reflectors of electromagnetic radiation. The reflectors may be used in, for example, resonant cavities in which may be located, for example, multi-quantum well detectors, the efficiency of said detectors being increased by virtue of the enhanced electric field associated with resonance in the cavity.

    摘要: To selectively grow a P type silicon layer and a Si/Ge.sub.x Si.sub.1-x superlattice layer under low temperature conditions in the area encircled with a groove, at least the side walls of which consist of silicon oxide film, which is formed in the silicon substrate. Thereby, the leak at the side of the superlattice layer can be reduced. Furthermore, by burying a metal film in the groove, the loss of light at the side of the superlattice layer can be suppressed to the minimum. Thus a light receiver having silicon/germanium silicon-mixed-crystal layer is stably formed in a silicon semiconductor substrate and optical absorption efficiency can be improved.
