Abstract:
A photodiode includes a semiconductor substrate, a crystalline layer on the semiconductor substrate, an insulating pattern layer on the crystalline layer to define a plurality of holes exposing a top surface of the crystalline layer, a seed layer in the plurality of holes and directly on the crystalline layer, and a light absorption layer on the seed layer and the insulating pattern layer.
Abstract:
An optical memory module comprises one or more memory devices configured to store data, and one or more optical interface modules configured to perform optical communication between the memory devices and an external device. Each of the optical interface modules comprises an input-output light distribution unit configured to divide received light to produce transmission light and reception light, an electrical-to-optical conversion unit configured to perform optical modulation based on the transmission light and an electrical transmission signal to generate an optical transmission signal, and a coherent optical-to-electrical conversion unit configured to perform a coherent reception based on the reception light and an optical reception signal to generate an electrical reception signal.
Abstract:
Optical integrated circuits are provided. An optical integrated circuit includes a substrate including a single crystalline semiconductor material. The optical integrated circuit includes an insulation region in a trench in the substrate. The optical integrated circuit includes a first core on the insulation region. The first core includes the single crystalline semiconductor material. Moreover, the optical integrated circuit includes a second core that is spaced apart from the first core. The second core includes a material having a refractive index that is lower than that of the first core.
