    摘要: A charge coupled device has a semi-insulating semiconductor for a substrate. Resistivity of the semiconductor is at least 10.sup.6 ohm cm. A semi-conductive layer is grown epitaxially or is implanted on the substrate to form a thin, active, charge transport layer. A row of parallel, closely spaced gates on the charge transport layer provides individual storage wells in the charge transport layer. In a preferred embodiment, ohmic contacts adjacent the first and last gates in the row of gates provide a means for injecting a signal into the charge transport layer and a means for detecting the signal. Preferably, the substrate is semi-insulating GaAs and the gates are Schottky barrier gates.

    摘要: Growth of SiGe on a significantly lattice mismatched substrate (e.g., Si) is provided by depositing a SiGe buffer layer at a growth temperature, then annealing the resulting structure at a temperature higher than the growth temperature. Additional buffer layers can be included following the same steps. The SiGe buffer is significantly lattice mismatched with respect to the substrate, and is preferably substantially lattice matched with a SiGe device to be grown on top of the buffer. The resulting buffer structure is relatively thin and provides low defect density, and low surface roughness. Disadvantages of thick graded buffer layers, such as high cost, high surface roughness, mechanical fragility, and CTE mismatch, are thereby avoided.

    摘要: A high efficiency optical interconnect (OI) deposited directly on a silicon based IC by a low temperature process that utilizes a heterogeneous crystalline structure of a III-V compound material to convert light pulses into electrical signals. The high efficiency is established by pulsing the light beams with a shorter duration than the life time of the generated carriers and by reducing the structural volume and consequently the internal capacitance of the III-V compound to a functional height of approximately 1 micron. The analog MSM characteristic of the OI is bypassed by differential two-beam signal processing, wherein the intensity difference of two synchronous light beams is transformed in two parallel OI's into two electrical signals that compensate in a central node. The resulting polarity in the node switches either a PMOS or a NMOS transistor, which connect either a positive or negative voltage to the output node.

    摘要: A light detector comprising a photodetector disposed within an etalon or microcavity. The light detector is sensitive to light having a wavelength resonant with the etalon. Preferably, the etalon is a solid state microcavity having distributed bragg reflectors. The photodetector may be a photodiode, phototransistor or the like. The etalon has a front reflector with reflectivity Rf and a back reflector with reflectivity Rb. The photodetector has a double-pass absorption of A. In the present invention, Rf, Rb, and A are selected such that Rf=Rb(1−A). The combination of the back reflector and absorbing photodetector is indistinguishable from a single reflector of reflectivity Rf. Therefore, the light detector behaves like an etalon with matched reflectors. Preferably, Rf is greater than 0.95 and Rb is greater than 0.98. The photodetector can have a relatively thin absorption layer, thereby providing high speed capability. Even with a low absorption, the photodetector provides high quantum efficiency since it is within the etalon. Preferably, the front reflector is movable such that an etalon cavity length is adjustable. This provides for adjustment of the wavelength at which the light detector is sensitive.

    摘要: A variety of types of molecules are detected and/or analyzed using an integrated micro-circuit arrangement. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a micro-circuit arrangement detects excitable target markers in response to an excitation source. The excitation source emits a first electromagnetic radiation to excite one or more target markers into emitting a second electromagnetic radiation. The excitation source and detector combination can be optimized to detect a specific characteristic of a biological specimen. In this manner, an excitation source can be combined with several optical-detectors or detection channels, where each optical-detector is measuring or sensing the same or different characteristic of the biological specimen.
