Fabrication technology of metal-cavity nanolasers in III-V membranes on silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrically pumped metal-cavity nanolasers in III-V semiconductors are promising for their application in optical interconnects, where high integration density and low optical powers are required. They offer a low threshold current and excellent cooling properties due to the metal encapsulation. In this contribution, an overview about the technology required for the fabrication of a nanolaser coupled to an InP-membrane waveguide on silicon is presented. A variety of techniques are used including electronbeam lithography, dry and wet etching, as well as deposition of dielectrics and metals. The technological challenges to fabricate such a complex nanostructure are also discussed.

Monolithic III–V on Silicon Plasmonic Nanolaser Structure for Optical Interconnects
Monolithic integration of III-V semiconductor lasers with Si circuits can reduce cost and enhance performance for optical interconnects dramatically. We propose and investigate plasmonic III-V nanolasers as monolithically integrated light source on Si chips due to many advantages. First, these III-V plasmonic light sources can be directly grown on Si substrates free of crystallographic defects ...

متن کاملNanowires fine tunable fabrication by varying the concentration ratios, the etchant and the plating spices in metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon wafer.
The metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) was used to synthesis silicon nanowires. The effect of etchant concentration, etching and chemical plating time and doping density on silicon nanowires length were investigated. It is held that the increasing of HF and H2O2 concentrations lead to etching rate increment and formation of wire-like structure. The results show that, the appropriate ratio o...

Fabrication and characterization of polycarbonate/titanium oxide nanotubes mixed matrix membranes for efficient removal of cadmium and copper from aqueous solution
In this study, novel polycarbonate-titanium oxide nanotubes (PC-TNT) ultrafiltration mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were fabricated for decontamination of Cd2+ and Cu2+ metal ions from aqueous solution. The weight percent of TNTs in the polycarbonate membrane matrix was changed from 0 to 15. The synthesized neat PC membrane and PC-TNTs MMMs were characterized with respect to structural morpholog...
