    Abstract: Techniques, systems, and devices are disclosed to provide multilayer platforms for integrating semiconductor integrated circuit dies, optical waveguides and photonic devices to provide intra-die or inter-die optical connectivity. For example, an integrated semiconductor device having integrated circuits respectively formed on different semiconductor integrated circuit dies is provided to include a carrier substrate structured to form openings on a top side of the carrier substrate; semiconductor integrated circuit dies fixed to bottom surfaces of the openings of the carrier substrate, each semiconductor integrated circuit die including a semiconductor substrate and an integrated circuit formed on the semiconductor substrate to include one or more circuit components, and each semiconductor integrated circuit die being structured to have a top surface substantially coplanar with the top side of the carrier substrate; and planar layers formed on top of the top surfaces of the semiconductor integrated circuit dies and the top side of the carrier substrate to include optical waveguides and photonic devices to provide (1) intra-die optical connectivity for photonic devices associated with a semiconductor integrated circuit die, or (2) inter-die optical connectivity for photonic devices associated with different semiconductor integrated circuit dies.

    Abstract: Technologies pertaining to converting infrared (IR) radiation to DC energy are described herein. In a general embodiment, a rectenna comprises a conductive layer. A thin insulator layer is formed on the conductive layer, and a nanoantenna is formed on the thin insulator layer. The thin insulator layer acts as a tunnel junction of a tunnel diode.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic component has a semiconductor chip and a carrier, which is bonded to the semiconductor chip by means of a bonding layer of a metal or a metal alloy. The semiconductor chip includes electrical connection regions facing the carrier and the carrier includes electrical back contacts on its back remote from the semiconductor chip. The back contacts are connected electrically conductively to the first electrical or second connection region respectively, in each case by at least one via extending through the carrier. The first and/or second electrical back contact is connected to the first or second electrical connection region respectively by at least one further via extending through the carrier.

    Abstract: Optoelectronic devices (e.g., optical proximity sensors), methods for fabricating optoelectronic devices, and systems including optoelectronic devices, are described herein. An optoelectronic device includes a light detector die that includes a light detector sensor area. A light source die is attached to a portion of the light detector die that does not include the light detector sensor area. An opaque barrier is formed between the light detector sensor area and the light source die, and a light transmissive material encapsulates the light detector sensor area and the light source die. Rather than requiring a separate base substrate (e.g., a PCB substrate) to which are connected a light source die and a light detector die, the light source die is connected to the light detector die, such that the light detector die acts as the base for the finished optoelectronic device. This provides for cost reductions and reduces the total package footprint.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate supporting a plurality of layers that include at least one modulation doped quantum well (QW) structure offset from a quantum dot in quantum well (QD-in-QW) structure. The modulation doped QW structure includes a charge sheet spaced from at least one QW by a spacer layer. The QD-in-QW structure has QDs embedded in one or more QWs. The QD-in-QW structure can include at least one template/emission substructure pair separated by a barrier layer, the template substructure having smaller size QDs than the emission substructure. A plurality of QD-in-QW structures can be provided to support the processing (emission, absorption, amplification) of electromagnetic radiation of different characteristic wavelengths (such as optical wavelengths in range from 1300 nm to 1550 nm). The device can realize an integrated circuit including a wide variety of devices that process electromagnetic radiation at a characteristic wavelength(s) supported by the QDs of the QD-in-QW structure(s). Other semiconductor devices are also described and claimed.
