Silicon-based silicon-germanium-tin heterostructure photonics.
The wavelength range that extends from 1550 to 5000 nm is a new regime of operation for Si-based photonic and opto-electronic integrated circuits. To actualize the new chips, heterostructure active devices employing the ternary SiGeSn alloy are proposed in this paper. Foundry-based monolithic integration is described. Opportunities and challenges abound in creating laser diodes, optical amplifi...
متن کاملGermanium Based Field-Effect Transistors: Challenges and Opportunities
The performance of strained silicon (Si) as the channel material for today's metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors may be reaching a plateau. New channel materials with high carrier mobility are being investigated as alternatives and have the potential to unlock an era of ultra-low-power and high-speed microelectronic devices. Chief among these new materials is germanium (Ge). This...
متن کاملSilicon, germanium, tin and lead analogues of acetylenes.
Recent experimental results which have described the characterization of the first, stable heavier group 14 element analogues of acetylenes are outlined. It is shown that the use of large terphenyl substituents allows the isolation of transition metal-heavier group 14 element complexes that can achieve essential triple bonding by a three-fold orbital interaction between the transition metal and...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to Dr. John D. Cressler for his patience, guidance, and support throughout my master's program. My inspiration came from his passion for research and his confidence in my abilities. Working under his leadership in such an exciting field was both educationally and professionally enriching. I would also like to thank the other members of my thesis advisory co...
متن کاملGermanium epitaxy on silicon
With the rapid development of on-chip optical interconnects and optical computing in the past decade, silicon-based integrated devices for monolithic and hybrid optoelectronic integration have attracted wide attention. Due to its narrow pseudo-direct gap behavior and compatibility with Si technology, epitaxial Ge-on-Si has become a significant material for optoelectronic device applications. In...
