    Abstract: One method disclosed herein includes forming a layer of silicon/germanium having a germanium concentration of at least 30% on a semiconducting substrate, forming a plurality of spaced-apart trenches that extend through the layer of silicon/germanium and at least partially into the semiconducting substrate, wherein the trenches define a fin structure for the device comprised of a portion of the substrate and a portion of the layer of silicon/germanium, the portion of the layer of silicon/germanium having a first cross-sectional configuration, forming a layer of insulating material in the trenches and above the fin structure, performing an anneal process on the device so as to cause the first cross-sectional configuration of the layer of silicon/germanium to change to a second cross-sectional configuration that is different from the first cross-sectional configuration, and forming a final gate structure around at least a portion of the layer of silicon/germanium having the second cross-sectional configuration.

    Abstract: Disclosed are non-planar monolithic hybrid optoelectronic structures. These structures are referred to as non-planar because they contain one or more semiconductor fins. These structures are referred to as monolithic because they contain, within each semiconductor fin, an optical waveguide core positioned laterally between a light sensor and a photodetector. Specifically, each semiconductor fin has end portions and a center portion positioned laterally between the end portions. The center portion is an optical waveguide core and the end portions have trenches that contain the light source and photodetector, respectively. These structures are referred to as hybrid because the optical waveguide core is made of one semiconductor material and the light sensor and photodetector are each made of at least one additional semiconductor material that is different from the semiconductor material of the center portion. Also disclosed herein are methods of forming monolithic non-planar hybrid optoelectronic structures.
