    摘要: A method for removing a native oxide film from a semiconductor substrate includes repetitively depositing layers of germanium on the native oxide and heating the substrate causing the layer of germanium to form germanium oxide, desorbing a portion of the native oxide film. The process is repeated until the oxide film is removed. A subsequent layer of strontium titanate can be deposited on the semiconductor substrate, over either residual germanium or a deposited germanium layer. The germanium can be converted to silicon germanium oxide by exposing the strontium titanate to oxygen.

    摘要: In some embodiments method comprises depositing a ferroelectric layer on a top surface of a semiconductor wafer and forming one or more gaps in the ferroelectric layer. The one or more gaps can be formed on a repetitive spacing to relieve stresses between the ferroelectric layer and the semiconductor wafer. A first dielectric layer is deposited over the ferroelectric layer and the first dielectric layer is planarized to fill in the gaps. A second dielectric layer is formed between the ferroelectric layer and the semiconductor wafer. The second dielectric layer can be formed by annealing the wafer in an oxidizing atmosphere such that an upper portion of the semiconductor substrate forms an oxide layer between the semiconductor substrate and the ferroelectric layer.

    摘要: A device includes a substrate, a dielectric layer on the substrate, a waveguide within the dielectric layer, and a photodetector optically coupled to the waveguide. The photodetector is disposed above the waveguide layer and is monolithically integrated with the substrate. The photodetector is configured to operate at low temperatures, such as below about 50 K or about 20 K. In some embodiments, the monolithic photonic device includes thermal isolation structures and optical isolation structures. Techniques for manufacturing the monolithic photonic device, including the thermal isolation structures and optical isolation structures, are also described.
