Online resources: Summary: The creation of affordable high speed optical communications using standard semiconductor manufacturing technology is a principal aim of silicon photonics research. This would involve replacing copper connections with optical fibres or waveguides, and electrons with photons. With applications such as telecommunications and information processing, light detection, spectroscopy, holography and robotics, silicon photonics has the potential to revolutionise electronic-only systems. Providing an overview of the physics, technology and device operation of photonic devices using exclusively silicon and related alloys, the book includes: Basic Properties of Silicon Quantum Wells, Wires, Dots and Superlattices Absorption Processes in Semiconductors Light Emitters in Silicon Photodetectors , Photodiodes and Phototransistors Raman Lasers including Raman Scattering Guided Lightwaves Planar Waveguide Devices Fabrication Techniques and Material Systems Silicon Photonics: Fundamentals and Devices outlines the basic principles of operation of devices, the structures of the devices, and offers an insight into state-of-the-art and future developments.Summary: Silicon Photonics: Fundamentals and Devices -- Contents -- Series Preface -- Preface -- 1 Introduction to Silicon Photonics -- 1.1 Introduction -- 1.2 VLSI: Past, Present, and Future Roadmap -- 1.3 The Interconnect Problem in VLSI -- 1.4 The Long-Haul Optical Communication Link -- 1.4.1 Basic Link and Components -- 1.4.2 Materials and Integration -- 1.5 Data Network -- 1.6 Conclusions -- 1.7 Scope of the Book -- References -- 2 Basic Properties of Silicon -- 2.1 Introduction -- 2.2 Band Structure -- 2.2.1 E-k Diagram: General Considerations -- 2.2.2 Band Properties near Extremas -- 2.2.3 Refined Theory for Band Structures -- 2.2.4 Temperature- and Pressure-Dependent Band Gap -- 2.2.5 Band Structure in Ge -- 2.3 Density-of-States Function -- 2.4 Impurities -- 2.4.1 Donors and Acceptors -- 2.4.2 Isoelectronic Impurities -- 2.5 Alloys of Silicon and Other Group IV Elements -- 2.5.1 Different Alloy Systems -- 2.5.2 Lattice Constants -- 2.5.3 Band Structures of Unstrained Alloys -- 2.6 Heterojunctions and Band Lineup -- 2.7 Si-Based Heterostructures -- 2.7.1 Lattice-Mismatched Heteroepitaxy -- 2.7.2 Pseudomorphic Growth and Critical Thickness -- 2.7.3 Elasticity Theory: Stress and Strain -- 2.7.4 Expressions for Critical Thickness -- 2.7.5 Strain Symmetric Structures and Virtual Substrates -- 2.7.6 Band Offsets and Band Lineup -- 2.7.7 Electronic Properties of SiGe/Si Heterostructures -- 2.8 Direct Gap: Ge/SiGeSn Heterojunctions -- 2.8.1 Structures -- 2.8.2 Band Edges and Band Lineup -- Problems -- References -- Suggested Readings -- 3 Quantum Structures -- 3.1 Introduction -- 3.2 Quantum Wells -- 3.2.1 Condition for Quantum Confinement -- 3.2.2 A Representative Structure -- 3.2.3 Simplified Energy Levels -- 3.2.4 Density-of-States in Two Dimensions -- 3.2.5 Finite Quantum Well -- 3.2.6 Refined Methods -- 3.2.7 Different Band Alignments.PPN: PPN: 809715309Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PQE
