Thin film wavelength converters for photonic integrated circuits

Quasi-phase-matched (QPM) wavelength converters are highly desirable for emerging nonlinear optics applications in photonic integrated circuits, but available waveguide and quasi-phase-matching technologies have so far constrained their realization. In this work, we present a periodically poled lithium niobate (LN) waveguide on a silicon nitride– thin film LN platform. It contains a submicromet...

Graphene/Si CMOS Hybrid Hall Integrated Circuits

Graphene/silicon CMOS hybrid integrated circuits (ICs) should provide powerful functions which combines the ultra-high carrier mobility of graphene and the sophisticated functions of silicon CMOS ICs. But it is difficult to integrate these two kinds of heterogeneous devices on a single chip. In this work a low temperature process is developed for integrating graphene devices onto silicon CMOS I...

A MEMS Capacitive Microphone Modelling for Integrated Circuits

In this paper, a model for MEMS capacitive microphone is presented for integrated circuits.  The microphone has a diaphragm thickness of 1 μm, 0.5 × 0.5 mm2 dimension, and an air gap of 1.0 μm. Using the analytical and simulation results, the important features of MEMS capacitive microphone such as pull-in voltage and sensitivity are obtained 3.8v and 6.916 mV/Pa, respectively while there is no...

Improved stability of thin-film resistors

Earlier, deeper investigations into the drift behavior of thin-film resistors have shown that the usual methods for predicting drift are incapable of describing the present remarkable differences within a certain R-layer alloy system (for example, CrNi) or those between different alloy systems (for example, CrNi versus CrSi or TaN). In order to come to a more precise model, we have to ignore al...
