Abstract:
An out-of-plane micro-structure which can be used for on-chip integration of high-Q inductors and transformers places the magnetic field direction parallel to the substrate plane without requiring high aspect ratio processing. The photolithographically patterned coil structure includes an elastic member having an intrinsic stress profile. The intrinsic stress profile biases a free portion away from the substrate forming a loop winding. An anchor portion remains fixed to the substrate. The free portion end becomes a second anchor portion which may be connected to the substrate via soldering or plating. A series of individual coil structures can be joined via their anchor portions to form inductors and transformers.
Abstract:
An array of light emitters includes a plurality of light emitting structures formed over a layered structure with at least one quantum well layer. At least one cladding layer is formed on over the at least one quantum well layer. At least one waveguide layer is formed on or over the at least one cladding layer. At least one isolation region is formed at least in between at least two of the plurality of light emitting structures. The at least one isolation region isolates the at least two light emitting structures from each other.
Abstract:
A III-V compound light emitter is integrated with Si-based actuators. The Proposed devices take advantage of the superior optical properties of III-V compounds and the superior mechanical properties of Si, as well as mature fabrication technologies of Si-Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). The emitter can be a light emitting diode (LED), a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) or an edge emitting laser. Electro or magnetic based actuation from Si-based actuators provides linear or angular movement of the light emitter.

Abstract:
A light-producing device integrated with a power monitoring system include a light-producing device from which light is emitted in wavelengths that can range from approximately 700 nm to approximately 3 microns. A semi-transparent sensor is located such that at least a portion of the light emitted passes through the semi-transparent sensor and at least a portion of light is absorbed by the semi-transparent sensor. The semi-transparent sensor is configured to be semi-transparent at wavelengths that can range from 700 nm to 3 microns. The semi-transparent sensor may also be used with an external light source, for example with fiber-optic cables.

A passive semiconductor device structure is made using planar lateral oxidation to define a buried oxidized semiconductor structure such as a passive waveguide, microlens or DBR mirror stack.
Abstract:
Semiconductor devices in an optoelectronic integrated circuit are electrically isolated from each other by using planar lateral oxidation to oxidize a buried semiconductor layer vertically separating the semiconductor devices.
