A bistable, self-latching inverter by the monolithic integration of resonant tunnelling diode and high electron mobility transistor

This paper reports that the structures of AlGaAs/InGaAs high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) and AlAs/GaAs resonant tunnelling diode (RTD) are epitaxially grown by molecular beam epitaxy ( MBE) in turn on a GaAs substrate. An Al0.24Ga0.76As chair barrier layer, which is grown adjacent to the top AlAs barrier, helps to reduce the valley current of RTD. The peak-to-valley current ratio of fabricated RTD is 4.8 and the transconductance for the 1-mu m gate HEMT is 125mS/mm. A static inverter which consists of two RTDs and a HEMT is designed and fabricated. Unlike a conventional CMOS inverter, the novel inverter exhibits self-latching property.

Monolithic integration of electroabsorption modulator and DFB laser for 10-Gb/s transmission

A strained InGaAsP-InP multiple-quantum-well DFB laser monolithically integrated with electroabsorption modulator by ultra-low-pressure (22 mbar) selective-area-growth is presented. The integrated chip exhibits superior characteristics, such as low threshold current of 19 mA, single-mode operation around 1550 nm range with side-mode suppression ratio over 40 dB, and larger than 16 dB extinction ratio when coupled into a single-mode fiber. More than 10 GHz modulation bandwidth is also achieved. After packaged in a compact module, the device successfully performs 10-Gb/s NRZ transmission experiments through 53.3 km of standard fiber with 8.7 dB dynamic extinction ratio. A receiver sensitivity of -18.9 dBm at bit-error-rate of 10(-1)0 is confirmed. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Wafer bonding technique used for the integration of cubic GaN/GaAs (001) with Si substrate

We successfully used the metal mediated-wafer bonding technique in transferring the as-grown cubic GaN LED structure of Si substrate. The absorbing GaAs substrate was removed by using the chemical solutions of NH4OH : H2O2=1 : 10. SEM and PL results show that wafer bonding technique could transfer the cubic GaN epilayers uniformly to Si without affecting the physical and optical properties of epilayers. XRD result shows that there appeared new peaks related to AgGa2 and Ni4N diffraction, indicating that the metals used as adhesive and protective layers interacted with the p-GaN layer during the long annealing process. It is just the reaction that ensures the reliability of the integration of GaN with metal and minor contact resistance on the interface.

Photonic switch and NOT logic gate based on the hybrid integration of a GaAsVCSEL and a GaAs MISS

The hybrid integrated photonic switch and not logic gate based on the integration of a GaAs VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers) and a MISS (Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Switches) device are reported. The GaAs VCSEL is fabricated by selective etching and selective oxidation. The Ultra-Thin semi-Insulating layer (UTI) of the GaAs MISS is formed by using oxidation of A1As that is grown by MBE. The accurate control of UTI and the processing compatibility between VCSEL and MISS are solved by this procedure. Ifa VCSEL is connected in series with a MISS, the integrated device can be used as a photonic switch, or a light amplifier. A low switching power (10 mu W) and a good on-off ratio (17 dB contrast) have been achieved. If they are connected in parallel, they perform a photonic NOT gate operation.

Monolithic Integration of Light Emitting Diodes, Photodetector and Receiver Circuit in Standard CMOS Technology

A monolithic silicon CMOS optoelectronic integrated circuit (OEIC) is designed and fabricated with standard 0.35 mu m CMOS technology. This OEIC circuit consists of light emitting diodes (LED), silicon dioxide waveguide, photodiodes and receiver circuit. The silicon LED operates in reverse breakdown mode and can be turned on at 8.5V 10mA. The silicon dioxide waveguide is composed of multiple layers of silicon dioxide between different metals layers. A two PN-junctions photodetector composed of n-well/p-substrate junction and p(+) active implantation/n-well junction maximizes the depletion region width. The readout circuitry in pixels is exploited to handle as small as 0.1nA photocurrent. Simulation and testing results show that the optical emissions powers are about two orders higher than the low frequency detectivity of silicon CMOS photodetcctor and receiver circuit.
