  • Patent number: 11968288
    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) has been disclosed. In some implementations, the ADC is configured to generate ADC samples based on input signals and an ADC input clock. The ADC is further configured to generate at a first time point a synchronized start signal indicating a starting point of capturing the ADC samples. The start signal and a system clock can be synchronized at a second time point. At a third time point, a capturing sample clock for capturing the ADC samples is generated. The synchronized start signal and the capturing sample clock can be input to a counter to determine a time difference between the second and third time points. An ADC output timing of the ADC samples can be determined based on the time difference.

  • Publication number: 20240072511
    Abstract: The present Specification is directed to the heterogeneous integration of compound-semiconductor devices on indirect-bandgap material substrates. A chip comprising compound-semiconductor layer stack disposed on a handle substrate of germanium is bonded, stack-side down, to a silicon layer disposed on a host substrate. The use of a germanium handle substrate enables the handle substrate to be removed after bonding using methods that are highly selective for germanium over the compound semiconductor layer stack. As a result, the compound-semiconductor layer stack does not need to be protected during handle substrate removal and the handle substrate can be completely removed without causing damage to the compound-semiconductor layer stack. As a result, after handle-substrate removal, the materials of the layer stack can be processed further to define one or more optically active devices in conventional fashion.
