Silicon Microdisk Resonators for Nonlinear Optics and Dynamics [PDF]

, 2009
Silicon is incredibly well-studied as an electronic material. Since the out-migration of William Noyce, Gordon Moore, and the rest of the original Fairchild Semiconductor class from Shockley Semiconductor, silicon has only grown in prominence.

A Three-Terminal Si-Ge Avalanche Photodiode with a Breakdown Voltage of 6.8 V and a Gain Bandwidth Product of 1377 GHz

Micromachines
Silicon–germanium (Si-Ge) avalanche photodiodes (APDs), fully compatible with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) processes, are critical devices for high-speed optical communication.

Electrothermally-Actuated Micromirrors with Bimorph Actuators—Bending-Type and Torsion-Type

Sensors, 2015
Three different electrothermally-actuated MEMS micromirrors with Cr/Au-Si bimorph actuators are proposed. The devices are fabricated with the SOIMUMPs process developed by MEMSCAP, Inc. (Durham, NC, USA).

Compact Gas Sensor Using Silicon-on-Insulator Loop-Terminated Mach–Zehnder Interferometer

Photonics, 2021
In this paper, we propose a compact optical gas sensor based on the widespread silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, operating in the near-infrared (NIR) region around the 1.55 µm wavelength.

Suitability of applying ultrathin SOI‐based PIN diodes to photodetection of UV wavelength

Electronics Letters
This work intends to investigate the impact of silicon layer thickness and substrate biasing on the UV photodetection efficiency of PIN diodes fabricated with ultra‐thin body and buried oxide (UTBB silicon‐on‐insulator [SOI]) technology, aiming to verify

Enhanced Sensitivity of Silicon-On-Insulator Surface Plasmon Interferometer With Additional Silicon Layer

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2011
It is theoretically found that by adding a thin silicon layer (35 nm) on top of our previously proposed surface plasmon interference (SPI) biosensor in silicon on insulator (SOI), a sensitivity enhancement of up to 2500 nm/refractive index units (RIUs ...

Effect of Gate Dielectric Material on the Electrical Properties of MoSe₂-Based Metal–Insulator–Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor

Crystals, 2022
In this study, we fabricated metal–insulator–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MISFETs) based on nanolayered molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) using two insulator materials, silicon dioxide (SiO2) and silicon nitride (SiN).

Karl Popper and the Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Representation of the beginning of loss of ductility rather than embrittlement. Small concentrations of hydrogen in a diffusible form within iron are well‐established to harm the mechanical integrity of steels. There are theories that attempt to explain the pernicious role of hydrogen.

High-Power-Compatible Thick Silicon-on-Insulator Waveguide: An Implementation in Optical Phased Array

IEEE Photonics Journal
High-power transmission capability is a critical yet insufficiently explored frontier in integrated photonics. Owing to the restricted optical cross-sectional area of the 220 nm-thick silicon layer, conventional SOI platform is incapable of managing the ...
