    摘要: A vertical stack of a first silicon germanium alloy layer, a second epitaxial silicon layer, a second silicon germanium layer, and a germanium layer are formed epitaxially on a top surface of a first epitaxial silicon layer. The second epitaxial silicon layer, the second silicon germanium layer, and the germanium layer are patterned and encapsulated by a dielectric cap portion, a dielectric spacer, and the first silicon germanium layer. The silicon germanium layer is removed between the first and second silicon layers to form a silicon germanium mesa structure that structurally support an overhanging structure comprising a stack of a silicon portion, a silicon germanium alloy portion, a germanium photodetector, and a dielectric cap portion. The germanium photodetector is suspended by the silicon germanium mesa structure and does not abut a silicon waveguide. Germanium diffusion into the silicon waveguide and defect density in the germanium detector are minimized.

    摘要: Current may be passed through an n-doped semiconductor region, a recessed metal semiconductor alloy portion, and a p-doped semiconductor region so that the diffusion of majority charge carriers in the doped semiconductor regions transfers heat from or into the semiconductor waveguide through Peltier-Seebeck effect. Further, a temperature control device may be configured to include a metal semiconductor alloy region located in proximity to an optoelectronic device, a first semiconductor region having a p-type doping, and a second semiconductor region having an n-type doping. The temperature of the optoelectronic device may thus be controlled to stabilize the performance of the optoelectronic device.

    摘要: An optical switch includes a plurality of optical interferometric structures is serially connected between at least one optical input node and two optical output nodes. A primary waveguide directly connects an optical input node and a first optical output node. A complementary waveguide, which is directly connected to a second optical output node, is evanescently coupled with the primary waveguide in a pair of optically coupled sections provided in each optical interferometric structure. Each optical interferometric structure also includes a pair of decoupled sections, which includes a primary decoupled section embedding a portion of the primary waveguide and a complementary decoupled section which includes a portion of the complementary waveguide. The complementary decoupled section is embedded in a phase tuning structure that allows modulation of the phase of the optical signal passing through. The optical switch provides less insertion loss, less crosstalk, and wider bandwidth than prior art optical switches.
