17.6 Si-Ge-Sn based Compound Semiconductors for Photonic Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Si-Ge-Sn alloys can achieve bandgaps in the 1eV range and can facilitate the integration of III-V materials with both Ge and Si substrates. The development and current status of Si-Ge-Sn epilayer growth at Translucent is presented. The main aims of this work are the development of infrared absorbers with bandgaps below that of Ge for infrared detectors, 1 eV semiconductor materials for photovoltaic applications and group IV alloy integration with existing III-V

Monolithically Integrated Ge-on-Si Active Photonics
Monolithically integrated, active photonic devices on Si are key components in Si-based large-scale electronic-photonic integration for future generations of high-performance, low-power computation and communication systems. Ge has become an interesting candidate for active photonic devices in Si photonics due to its pseudo-direct gap behavior and compatibility with Si complementary metal oxide...
متن کاملMn-doped Ge and Si: A Review of the Experimental Status
Diluted ferromagnetic semiconductors (FMS) are in the focus of intense research due to their potential applications in spintronics and their striking new physical properties. So far Mn-doped III-V compound semiconductors such as GaMnAs are the most important and best understood ones, but they are ferromagnetic only at well below room temperature. An interesting alternative could be magnetic sem...
متن کاملElectronic effects at 2 and 7 α–position of divalent unsaturated seven membered ring R2C6H6M (M=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb)
Electronic effects were investigated on the singlet–triplet energy gaps of divalent unsaturated seven- membered ring R2C6H6M (M=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, R= –H, -CH3, i-Pr , t-Bu) at B3LYP/6-311++G** level. All the triplet states of R2C6H6C were more stable than the related the singlet states while all the singlet states of R2C6H6M (M= Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, R= –H, -CH3, i-Pr , t-Bu) were more stable than th...

Some examples of space-borne applications that require improvements in detector technology compared with conventional Si and Ge designs are described. Properties of compound semiconductors are noted, and a range of different detector developments are briefly reviewed. Material fabrication improvements for several compound semiconductors have resulted in near Fano-limited performance.
متن کاملExperimental and theoretical investigation on binary semiconductor clusters of Bi/Si, Bi/Ge, and Bi/Sn.
Bi(m)M(n)- (M = Si, Ge, Sn) binary cluster anions are generated by using laser ablation on mixtures of Bi and M (M = Si, Ge, Sn) samples and studied by reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOF-MS) in the gas phase. Some magic number clusters are present in the mass spectra which indicate that they are in stable structures. For small anions (m + n < or = 6), their structures are investi...
