摘要:
A mesa-structure avalanche photodiode in which a buffer region in the surface of the mesa structure effectively eliminates the sharply-angled, heavily doped part of the cap layer that existed adjacent the lightly-doped n-type multiplication layer and p-type guard ring before the buffer region was formed. This reduces electric field strength at the ends of the planar epitaxial P-N junction and prevents edge breakdown in this junction. The lateral extent of the guard ring is defined by a window formed in a masking layer prior to regrowth of the guard ring. This guard ring structure eliminates the need to perform additional processing steps to define the lateral extent of the guard ring and passivate the periphery of the guard ring.

A tunnel diode is disclosed having a highly P-doped layer of indium gallium arsenide formed on a highly N-doped layer of indium gallium arsenide which is supported on a semi-insulating substrate of indium phosphide. In an alternative embodiment, a tunnel diode is disclosed which has a highly P-doped layer of indium gallium arsenide formed on a highly N-doped layer of indium gallium arsenide which is supported on an N-doped substrate.

An opto-electronic system includes a system substrate, a lens, a bridging device, and an opto-electronic chip mounted in a cavity in the system substrate. The bridging device, which can be another chip, a lens block, or an interposer, is mounted in flip-chip orientation to the opto-electronic chip and provides electrical interconnection with signal conductors of the system substrate.

An ultrasonic system including an ultrasonic transmitter and an ultrasonic receiver is provided. The ultrasonic transmitter emits a transmission signal, which includes a synchronous burst and multiple data bursts. The ultrasonic receiver receives a synchronous echo, and determines whether the amplitude of the synchronous echo is larger than a first threshold. If the amplitude of the synchronous echo is larger than the first threshold, then the ultrasonic receiver interprets the multiple data echoes corresponding to the data bursts to obtain a digital signal.

In a connector system, a first connector is mechanically and optically mateable with a second connector to form one or more optical signal communication links. A wiping cleaner is included on at least one of the first and second connectors for cleaning an optical port of the other of the first and second connectors when the connectors are plugged together. The first and second connectors can further be electrically mateable to provide both optical and electrical signal communication links.

A transistor structure with a degradation-stop layer that prevents degradation of underlying semiconductor layers while minimizing any increase in the gate leakage current is disclosed. In one embodiment, a transistor structure includes: a substrate; a channel layer formed of a charge transport material over the substrate; a Schottky barrier layer formed of an aluminum-containing material over the channel layer; a degradation-stop layer formed of a substantially aluminum-free material over the Schottky barrier layer; and a source, a drain and a gate. The source and the drain being formed over or alloyed through the degradation-stop layer, and a lower portion of the gate extends down through an exposed portion of the degradation-stop layer and is in physical and electrical contact with the Schottky barrier layer.

A SAM avalanche photodiode formed with an epitaxially regrown guard ring and a planar P-N junction defined between a cap layer and a multiplication layer. The multiplication layer is part of a multi-layer semiconductor platform having a conductivity opposite to the conductivity type of the cap layer, including a light absorption layer, a substrate and an intermediate layer. A second embodiment of the present invention is disclosed including a SAM avalanche photodiode having a guard ring with a variable distribution of impurity dopant concentrations. In addition, a third embodiment of the present invention is disclosed in which a narrow band gap layer completely covers the cap layer and a non-alloy metal contact is formed to completely cover the narrow band gap layer, forming a mirror junction. In this embodiment, incident light is shined through the substrate and reflected from the mirror junction, enhancing the absorption efficiency.
