    摘要: Heteroepitaxial growth of phosphorus-containing III/V semiconductor material (e.g., InGaAsP) on a non-planar surface of a different phosphorus-containing III/V semiconductor material (e.g., InP) is facilitated by heating the non-planar surface in a substantially evacuated chamber to a mass-transport temperature, and exposing the surface to a flux of at least phosphorus form a solid phosphorus source. This mass-transport step is followed by in situ growth of the desired semiconductor material, with at least an initial portion of the growth being done at a first growth temperature that is not greater than the mass transport temperature. Growth typically is completed at a second growth temperature higher than the first growth temperature. A significant aspect of the method is provision of the required fluxes (e.g., phosphorus, arsenic, indium, gallium) from solid sources, resulting in hydrogen-free mass transport and growth, which can be carried out at lower temperatures than is customary in the prior art. An exemplary and preferred application of the method is in grating formation and overgrowth in InP-based DFB lasers.

    摘要: We have found that transistors have desirable device characteristics when the base region is composed of a lightly doped layer near the emitter junction and a heavily doped layer near the collector junction. The edge of the depletion region at the emitter-base junction is designed to stop in the lightly doped base region.

    摘要: This invention embodies an integrated optical package including an optical component having an asymmetric modal output, and a lens integrated with the component for coupling to another optical component having a large modal area. The coupling is achieved by the use of a Polymeric Elongated Waveguide Emulating (PEWE) lens. In the exemplary embodiment the first optical component is a modulator, and the other optical component is an optical fiber. A facet of the modulator is etched by reactive ion etching (RIE) which allows integration of the PEWE lens on a common substrate. The lens is manufactured using a polymer film on a dielectric cladding layer. The fabrication relies on the remelt and reflow properties of polymer films to provide a smooth adiabatic mode contraction from a circular (optical fiber) mode (.apprxeq.6 .mu.m in diameter) to a semiconductor mode (.apprxeq.1 .mu.m) over a length of 250 .mu.m. The PEWE lens permits coupling with an insertion loss of 0.5 dB and 80 percent coupling efficiency, even though the lens is butt-coupled to a fiber without any external lens. The PEWE lens allows the realization of better than 80 percent direct fiber butt-coupling efficiencies to semiconductor lasers, photodetectors, optical modulators, switches and amplifiers with a simultaneous order of magnitude relaxation of the alignment tolerances typically needed for the coupling of semiconductor devices with single-mode fibers.
