Integrating Optical Receiver Transplanted by Epitaxial Lift Off
نویسندگان
چکیده
A GaAs integrating optical receiver has been designed and realized using a commercial foundry process. The receiver was then transplanted by epitaxial lift off (ELO) onto an InP substrate. This technology allows the monolithical integration of previously incompatible materials onto one chip. To our knowledge the chip described is the most complex chip that has been transplanted by ELO. The integrating receiver described here presents a novel circuit topology to integrate optical input power.

Effects of Epitaxial Lift off on the Dc, Rf and Thermal Properties of Mesfets on Various Host Materials
In this paper we present an in depth investigation on the effects of epitaxial lift off (ELO) on GaAs MESFETs. DC and microwave characteristics as well as thermal effects are considered. Devices were fabricated on a GaAs foundry process and transplanted by ELO. ELO is a technology by which epitaxially grown layers are lifted off from their growth substrate and are subsequently re-attached to a ...
متن کاملThin-film III-V solar cells using epitaxial lift-off
Epitaxial lift-off is used to create thin-film III-V solar cells without sacrificing the GaAs wafer. It is based on selective etching of an AlAs release layer between the wafer and the cell structure using an HF solution. The wafer can be reused for subsequent deposition runs thereby reducing the cost of the cells. The thin-film cell can be transferred to any new carrier, e.g. glass, plastic, s...

We have investigated the effects of thermal cycling on the optical properties of In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs single quantum well films bonded to Si~001! via the epitaxial lift-off technique. The optical and structural quality of the bonded films were monitored using cathodoluminescence ~CL! imaging and spectroscopy. The films were stable through the temperature range ~500–700 °C! used in normal InxGa12xA...

We demonstrate the integration of subwavelength moth-eye and Al2O3 nanoisland structures fabricated on polymer packaging sheets and the surface of conventional Al2O3/TiO2 bilayer antireflection coatings, respectively, with epitaxial lift-off single-junction GaAs solar cells. The mechanically flexible cell structure with the integrated optical nanostructures shows substantially improved photovol...

In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...
