    摘要: Line trenches are formed in a stack of a bulk semiconductor substrate and an oxygen-impermeable layer such that the depth of the trenches in the bulk semiconductor substrate is greater than the lateral spacing between a pair of adjacently located line trenches. Oxygen-impermeable spacers are formed on sidewalls of the line trenches. An isotropic etch, either alone or in combination with oxidation, removes a semiconductor material from below the oxygen-impermeable spacers to expand the lateral extent of expanded-bottom portions of the line trenches, and to reduce the lateral spacing between adjacent expanded-bottom portions. The semiconductor material around the bottom portions is oxidized to form a semiconductor oxide portion that underlies multiple oxygen-impermeable spacers. Semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) portions are formed above the semiconductor oxide portion and within the bulk semiconductor substrate.

    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.

A plurality of metal electrodes are formed on a surface of a semiconductor material layer and electrically biased to produce a non-uniform high electric field in which the high electric field strength accelerates avalanche electron-hole pair generation, which is employed as an effective avalanche multiplication photodetection mechanism or as an avalanche impact ionization current amplification mechanism.

In one aspect, a three-dimensional integrated circuit comprises a bottom device layer and a top device layer. The bottom device layer comprises a substrate; a digital CMOS circuitry layer adjacent to the substrate; and a first bonding oxide layer adjacent to a side of the digital CMOS circuitry layer opposite the substrate. The top device layer comprises an analog CMOS and photonics circuitry layer formed in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layer having a buried oxide (BOX) with a thickness of greater than or equal to about 0.5 micrometers; and a second bonding oxide layer adjacent to the analog CMOS and photonics circuitry layer. The bottom device layer is bonded to the top device layer by an oxide-to-oxide bond between the first bonding oxide layer and the second bonding oxide layer.
