Abstract: Structures including a photodetector and methods of fabricating such structures. The photodetector is positioned over the top surface of the substrate. The photodetector includes a portion of a semiconductor layer comprised of a semiconductor alloy, a p-type doped region in the portion of the semiconductor layer, and an n-type doped region in the portion of the semiconductor layer. The p-type doped region and the n-type doped region converge along a p-n junction. The portion of the semiconductor layer has a first side and a second side opposite from the first side. The semiconductor alloy has a composition that is laterally graded from the first side to the second side of the portion of the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) structure with a passage for a waveguide through a barrier structure. The PIC structure includes a barrier structure on a substrate, having a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall. A passage is within the barrier structure, and extends from a first end at the first sidewall of the barrier structure to a second end at the second sidewall of the barrier structure. A shape of the passage includes a reversal segment between the first end and the second end. A waveguide within the passage and extends from the first end to the second end of the barrier structure.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method to authenticate an integrated circuit (IC) structure. The method may include forming a first authentication film (AF) material within the IC structure. A composition of the first AF material is different from an adjacent material within the IC structure. The method includes converting the first AF material into a void within the IC structure. Additionally, the method includes creating an authentication map of the IC structure to include a location of the void in the IC structure for authentication of the IC structure.
