Abstract: A germanium waveguide is formed from a P-type silicon substrate that is coated with a heavily-doped N-type germanium layer and a first N-type doped silicon layer. Trenches are etched into the silicon substrate to form a stack of a substrate strip, a germanium strip, and a first silicon strip. This structure is then coated with a silicon nitride layer.

Abstract: A PNP transistor is manufactured in parallel with the manufacture of NPN, NMOS, and PMOS transistors. A first semiconductor layer is deposited on a P-type doped semiconductor substrate and divided into first, second, and third regions, with the third region forming the base. An insulating well is deeply implanted into the substrate. First and second third wells, respectively of N-type and P-type are formed to extend between the second region and third region and the insulating well. A third well of P-type is formed below the third region to provide the collector. Insulating layers are deposited over the third region and patterned to form an opening. Epitaxial growth of a second P-type doped semiconductor layer is performed in the opening to provide the emitter.

Abstract: An integrated circuit may include an SOI substrate having a buried insulating layer, and a semiconductor film above the buried insulating layer. The semiconductor film may have first patterns in a first zone defining gate regions of first MOS transistors and also first dummy gate regions.
