  • Method for fabricating electronic and photonic devices on a semiconductor substrate
    Patent number: 7811844
    Abstract: A method for fabricating photonic and electronic devices on a substrate is disclosed. Multiple slabs are initially patterned and etched on a layer of a substrate. An electronic device is fabricated on a first one of the slabs and a photonic device is fabricated on a second one of the slabs, such that the electronic device and the photonic device are formed on the same layer of the substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 29, 2008
    Date of Patent: October 12, 2010
    Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.

  • Method for manufacturing vertical germanium detectors
    Patent number: 7736934
    Abstract: An improved method for manufacturing a vertical germanium detector is disclosed. Initially, a detector window is opened through an oxide layer on a single crystalline substrate. Next, a single crystal germanium layer is grown within the detector window, and an amorphous germanium layer is grown on the oxide layer. The amorphous germanium layer is then polished and removed until only a portion of the amorphous germanium layer is located around the single crystal germanium layer. A tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) layer is deposited on the amorphous germanium layer and the single crystal germanium layer. An implant is subsequently performed on the single crystal germanium layer. After an oxide window has been opened on the TEOS layer, a titanium layer is deposited on the single crystal germanium layer to form a vertical germanium detector.
