In one aspect, a three-dimensional integrated circuit comprises a bottom device layer and a top device layer. The bottom device layer comprises a substrate; a digital CMOS circuitry layer adjacent to the substrate; and a first bonding oxide layer adjacent to a side of the digital CMOS circuitry layer opposite the substrate. The top device layer comprises an analog CMOS and photonics circuitry layer formed in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layer having a buried oxide (BOX) with a thickness of greater than or equal to about 0.5 micrometers; and a second bonding oxide layer adjacent to the analog CMOS and photonics circuitry layer. The bottom device layer is bonded to the top device layer by an oxide-to-oxide bond between the first bonding oxide layer and the second bonding oxide layer.

    摘要: A vertical stack of a first silicon germanium alloy layer, a second epitaxial silicon layer, a second silicon germanium layer, and a germanium layer are formed epitaxially on a top surface of a first epitaxial silicon layer. The second epitaxial silicon layer, the second silicon germanium layer, and the germanium layer are patterned and encapsulated by a dielectric cap portion, a dielectric spacer, and the first silicon germanium layer. The silicon germanium layer is removed between the first and second silicon layers to form a silicon germanium mesa structure that structurally support an overhanging structure comprising a stack of a silicon portion, a silicon germanium alloy portion, a germanium photodetector, and a dielectric cap portion. The germanium photodetector is suspended by the silicon germanium mesa structure and does not abut a silicon waveguide. Germanium diffusion into the silicon waveguide and defect density in the germanium detector are minimized.
