    Abstract: The present invention discloses a spectrometer apparatus comprising a mobile device including an integrated camera, having a camera lens and an image sensor. The camera lens is located within a body of the mobile device that comprises a detachable housing coupled to the body of the mobile device. The detachable housing includes a first end and a second end opposed to the first end. The first end includes an optical input and the second end includes an opening that is substantially aligned with the camera lens. An optical spectrometer device is located within the housing and optically coupled to both the optical input at the first end of the housing and the camera lens at the second end of the housing. The optical spectrometer device receives a target image from the optical input and generates a spectral image that is received by the image sensor via the camera lens.

    Abstract: A method of forming an integrated photonic semiconductor structure having a photodetector and a CMOS device may include forming the CMOS device on a first silicon-on-insulator region, forming a silicon optical waveguide on a second silicon-on-insulator region, and forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) region surrounding the silicon optical waveguide such that the shallow trench isolation electrically isolates the first and second silicon-on-insulator region. Within the STI region, a germanium material is deposited adjacent an end facet of the semiconductor optical waveguide. The germanium material forms an active region that receives propagating optical signals from the end facet of the semiconductor optical waveguide.

    Abstract: Photonic devices are created by laterally growing a semiconductor material (i.e., a localized semiconductor-on-insulator layer) over a localized buried oxide (BOX) created in a semiconductor by either a trench isolation process or thermal oxidation. In one embodiment, and after trench formation in a semiconductor substrate, the trench is filled with oxide to create a localized BOX. The top surface of the BOX is recessed to depth below the topmost surface of the semiconductor substrate to expose sidewall surfaces of the semiconductor substrate within each trench. A semiconductor material is then epitaxially grown from the exposed sidewall surfaces of the semiconductor substrate.
