    摘要: Photonic devices and methods having an increased quantum effect length are provided. In some embodiments, a photonic device includes a substrate having a first surface. A cavity extends into the substrate from the first surface to a second surface. A semiconductor layer is disposed on the second surface in the cavity of the substrate, and a cover layer is disposed on the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor layer is configured to receive incident radiation through the substrate and to totally internally reflect the radiation at an interface between the semiconductor layer and the cover layer.

    摘要: An integrated circuit includes a photodetector. The photodetector includes a circular optical grating formed in an annular trench in a semiconductor substrate. The circular optical grating includes dielectric fins and photosensitive fins positioned in the annular trench. The circular optical grating is configured to receive incident light and to direct the incident light around the annular trench through the dielectric fins and the photosensitive fins until the light is absorbed by one of the photosensitive fins.
