  • BROADBAND THz RECEIVER USING THICK PATTERNED SEMICONDUCTOR CRYSTALS
    Publication number: 20200191710
    Abstract: There is provided a design of a device consisting of a patterned semiconductor material to provide enhanced detection bandwidth and efficiency of terahertz (THz) pulses with an electro-optic sampling. One device has a semiconductor crystal having a patterned grating on a surface of the semiconductor. In a system, there could optionally be a quarter-wave plate after the semiconductor crystal, followed by a prism. A pair of balanced photodiodes can optionally be provided after the prism. A pulse laser having a NIR beam and THz beam is sent through the semiconductor crystal to the quarter-wave plate to the prism to the photodiodes, wherein the patterned grating on the semiconductor crystal diffracts the NIR beam while the THz remains unaffected. The photodiodes can detect the result.

  • METHOD FOR FABRICATING A MONOCRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20200194259
    Abstract: A substrate is provided with a monocrystalline silicon-germanium layer with a first surface covered by a protective oxide obtained by wet process and having a degradation temperature. The protective oxide is transformed into fluorinated salt which is then eliminated. The substrate is placed in a processing chamber at a lower temperature than the degradation temperature and is subjected to a temperature ramp up to a higher temperature than the degradation temperature. The first surface is annealed in a hydrogen atmosphere devoid of silicon, germanium and precursors of the materials forming the target layer. When the temperature ramp is applied, a silicon precursor is inserted in the processing chamber between a loading temperature and the degradation temperature to deposit a monocrystalline buffer layer. A mono-crystalline target layer is deposited by chemical vapour deposition.
