  • Semiconductor devices, a fluid sensor and a method for forming a semiconductor device
    Patent number: 10461203
    Abstract: A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of quantum structures comprising predominantly germanium. The plurality of quantum structures are formed on a first semiconductor layer structure. The quantum structures of the plurality of quantum structures have a lateral dimension of less than 15 nm and an area density of at least 8×1011 quantum structures per cm2. The plurality of quantum structures are configured to emit light with a light emission maximum at a wavelength of between 2 ?m and 10 ?m or to absorb light with a light absorption maximum at a wavelength of between 2 ?m and 10 ?m.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 29, 2019
    Assignee: Infineon Technologie AG
    Inventors: Stefan Clara, Thomas Grille, Ursula Hedenig, Peter Irsigler, Bernhard Jakoby, Ventsislav M. Lavchiev, Thomas Ostermann, Thomas Popp
