Demonstration of low-cost Si-based tunable long-wavelength resonant-cavity-enhanced photodetectors

A simple process for fabricating low-cost Si-based continuously tunable long-wavelength resonant-cavity-enhanced (RCE) photodetectors has been investigated. High-contrast SiO2/Si(Deltan similar to2) was employed as mirrors to eliminate the need to grow thick epitaxial distributed Bragg reflectors. Such high-reflectivity SiO2/Si mirrors were deposited on the as-grown InGaAs epitaxy layers, and then were bonded to silicon substrates at a low temperature of 350 C without any special treatment on bonding surfaces, employing silicate gel as the bonding medium. The cost is thus decreased. A thermally tunable Si-based InGaAs RCE photodetector operating at 1.3-1.6 mum was obtained, with a quantum efficiency of about 44% at the resonant wavelength of 1476 nm and a tuning range of 14.5 nm. It demonstrates a great potential for industry processes. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.

Thermally tunable optical filter with crystalline silicon as cavity

A novel method to fabricate a thermally tunable filter with a tuning range of 26 nm from 1.504 to 1.530 mum is reported. The high-reffectivity bottom mirror is deposited in the hole formed by anisotropically etching in the basic solution from the backside of the slice with the buried SiO2 layer in silicon-on-insulator substrate as the etching-stop layer. Because of the formation of the mesa and the removing of the substrate of the hole, the power from the metal heater can be more effectively consumed in the crystalline silicon cavity. So it lowers the power consumption and the filter has a higher tuning range. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Fabrication of Ge nano-dot heterojunction phototransistors for improved light detection at 1.55 mu m

Heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) with several Ge/Si nano-dot layers as the absorption region are fabricated to obtain improved light detectivity at 1.55 mu m. The HPT detectors are of n-p-n type with ten layers of Ge(8ML)/Si(45nm) incorporated in the base-collector junction and are grown by an ultrahigh-vacuum chemical-vapor deposition system. The detectors are operated with normal incidence. Because of the good quality of the grown material and fabrication process, the dark current is only 0.71pA/mu m(2) under 5 V bias and the break-down voltage is over 20 V. Compared to the positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) reference detector with the same absorption layer, the responsivity is improved over 17 times for normal incidence at 1.55 mu m.

Temperature dependence of photoluminescence of flat and undulated SiGe/Si multiple quantum wells

Photoluminescence (PL) of strained SiGe/Si multiple quantum wells (MQW) with flat and undulated SiGe well layers was studied at different temperature. With elevated temperature from 10K, the no-phonon (NP) peak of the SiGe layers in the flat sample has firstly a blue shift due to the dominant transition converting from bound excitons (BE) to free excitons (FE), and then has a red shift when the temperature is higher than 30K because of the narrowing of the band gap. In the undulated sample, however, monotonous blue shift was observed as the temperature was elevated from 10 K to 287 K. The thermally activated electrons, confined in Si due to type-II band alignment, leak into the SiGe crest regions, and the leakage is enhanced with the elevated temperature. It results in a blue shift of the SiGe luminescence spectra.

Kinetic study of MOCVD III-V quaternary antimonides

The kinetics of MOCVD GaInAsSb and AlGaAsSb was studied by the growth rate as a function of growth temperature and partial pressure of III and V MO species. The diffusion theory was used to explain the mass transport processes in MOCVD III-V quaternary antimonides. On the basis of the discussion about their growth kinetics and epilayer properties, the good quality multi-epilayers of these two quaternary antimonides and their photodetectors and arrays with wavelength of 1.8 similar to 2.3 mu m and detectivities of D* > 10(9) cm Hz(1/2) W-1 were obtained.

Characterization of GaSb substrate wafers for MOCVD III-V antimonides

The qualities of GaSb substrates commonly used for the preparation of III-V antimonide epilayers were studied before and after growing GaInAsSb multi-layers by MOCVD using PL, FTIR and DCXD together with the electrical properties and EPD value. The correlation between the substrate qualities and epilayer properties was briefly discussed. The good property epilayers of GaInAsSb and, then, the high preformance of 2.3 um photodetectors were achieved only using the good quality GaSb wafers as the substrates.

A Fast-Locking Phase-Locked Loop Using a Seven-State Phase Frequency Detector

A seven-state phase frequency detector (S.S PFD) is proposed for fast-locking charge pump based phase-locked loops (CPPLLs) in this paper. The locking time of the PLL can be significantly reduced by using the seven-state PFD to inject more current into the loop filter. In this stage, the bandwidth of the PLL is increased or decreased to track the phase difference of the reference signal and the feedback signal. The proposed architecture is realized in a standard 0.35 mu m 2P4M CMOS process with a 3.3V supply voltage. The locking time of the proposed PLL is 1.102 mu s compared with the 2.347 mu s of the PLL based on continuous-time PFD and the 3.298 mu s of the PLL based on the pass-transistor tri-state PFD. There are 53.05% and 66.59% reductions of the locking time. The simulation results and the comparison with other PLLs demonstrate that the proposed seven-state PFD is effective to reduce locking time.

Low cost Si-based tunable InGaAs RCE photodetectors operating at 1.3similar to1.6 mum were fabricated using sol-gel bonding. A tuning range of 14.5 nm, a quantum efficiency of 44% at 1476 nm and a 3-dB bandwidth of 1.8 GHz were obtained.

1.55 mu m Ge islands resonant-cavity-enhanced narrowband detector

The high quality Ge islands material with 1.55 mu m photo-response grown on Sol substrate is reported. Due to the modulation of the cavity formed by the mirrors at the surface and the buried SiO2 interface, seven sharp and strong peaks with narrow linewidth are found. And a 1.55 mu m Ge islands resonant-cavity-enhanced (RCE) detector with narrowband was fabricated by a simple method. The bottom mirror was deposited in the hole formed by anisotropically etching, in a basic solution from the backside of the sample with the buried SiO2 layer in silicon-on-insulator substrate as the etch-stop layer. Reflectivity spectrum indicates that the mirror deposited in the hole has a reflectivity as high as 99% in the range of 1.2-1.65 mu m. The peak responsivity of the RCE detector at 1543.8 nm is 0.028 mA/W and a full width at half maximum of 5 nm is obtained. Compared with the conventional p-i-n photodetector, the responsivity of RCE detector has a nearly threefold enhancement.

一个三维需求模型及其对涉众协同的支持

在多涉众(stakeholder)参加的协同开发活动中,不同的涉众关注软件开发的不同方面,例如技术、过程、人.由于涉众的"赢条件(win condition)"之间的相互影响冲突往往是隐含的,所以,它们之间的冲突不容易被发现,导致各方共赢的均衡状态难以达成.提出了一个三维的需求模型TRISO-RM(tri-dimensional integrated software requirements model),通过它来描述和集成涉众对于软件开发不同方面的赢条件.在此基础上,通过由一组互相依赖的制品、活动、参与者所构成的TRISO-Element作为媒介,以发现、建立和维护不同赢条件之间的关系.基于TRISO-RM,分析了涉众目标冲突的一种典型形式——模型冲突(model clash)所发生的机理,并给出了发现与解决的过程.通过在软件质量管理平台SoftPM的开发中的实践应用,TRISO-RM方法对于涉众协同支持的有效性得到了验证.

纤维素直接发酵乙醇微生物的选育──Ⅲ.里氏木霉与运动发酵单胞原生质体融合的研究
