Room-temperature direct-bandgap photoluminescence from strain-compensated Ge/SiGe multiple quantum wells on silicon

Strain-compensated Ge/Si_0.15Ge_0.85 multiple quantum wells were grown on an Si_0.1>Ge_0.9 virtual substrate using ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition technology on an n⁺-Si(001) substrate. Photoluminescence measurements were performed at room temperature, and the quantum confinement effect of the direct-bandgap transitions of a Ge quantum well was observed, which is in good agreement with the calculated results. The luminescence mechanism was discussed by recombination rate analysis and the temperature dependence of the luminescence spectrum.

A Base-Emitter Self-Aligned Multi-Finger Sil-xGex/Si Power Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor

With a crystal orientation dependent on the etch rate of Si in KOH-based solution, a base-emitter self-Migned large-area multi-finger configuration power SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor （HBT） device （with an emitter area of about 880μm^2） is fabricated with 2μm double-mesa technology. The maximum dc current gain is 226.1. The collector-emitter junction breakdown voltage BVcEo is 10 V and the collector-base junction breakdown voltage BVcBo is 16 V with collector doping concentration of 1 × 10^17 cm^-3 and thickness of 400nm. The device exhibited a maximum oscillation frequency fmax of 35.5 GHz and a cut-off frequency fT of 24.9 GHz at a dc bias point of Ic = 70 mA and the voltage between collector and emitter is VCE = 3 V. Load pull measurements in class-A operation of the SiGe HBT are performed at 1.9 GHz with input power ranging from OdBm to 21 dBm. A maximum output power of 29.9dBm （about 977mW） is obtained at an input power of 18.SdBm with a gain of 11.47dB. Compared to a non-self-aligned SiGe HBT with the same heterostructure and process, fmax and fT are improved by about 83.9% and 38.3%, respectively.     

Sixteen-element Ge-on-SOI PIN photo-detector arrays for parallel optical interconnects

We describe the structure and testing of one-dimensional array parallel-optics photo-detectors with 16 photodiodes of which each diode operates up to 8 Gb/s. The single element is vertical and top illuminated 30μm-diameter silicon on insulator （Ge-on-SOI） PIN photodetector. High-quality Ge absorption layer is epitaxially grown on SO1 substrate by the ultra-high vacuum chemical vapor deposition （UHV-CVD）. The photodiode exhibits a good responsivity of 0.20 A/W at a wavelength of 1550 nm. The dark current is as low as 0.36/aA at a reverse bias of 1 V, and the corresponding current density is about 51 mA/cm2. The detector with a diameter of 30 t.trn is measured at an incident light of 1.55 μm and 0.5 mW, and the 3-dB bandwidth is 7.39 GHz without bias and 13.9 GHz at a reverse bias of 3 V. The 16 devices show a good consistency.

重掺B对应变SiGe材料能带结构的影响

硅锗异质结双极晶体管(SiGe HBT)一般以重掺硼(B)的应变SiGe层作为基区.精确表征SiGe材料能带结构对SiGe HBT的设计具有重要的意义.在应变SiGe材料中，B的重掺杂一方面会因为重掺杂效应使带隙收缩，另一方面，B的引入还会部分补偿Ge引起的应变，从而改变应变引起的带隙变化.在重掺B的应变SiGe能带结构研究中，采用半经验方法，考虑了B的应变补偿作用对能带的影响，对Jain-Roulston模型进行修正，并分析了重掺杂引起的带隙收缩在导带和价带的分布.
