The XTD device includes an N-type semiconductor coupled to a P-type semiconductor. A first gate is disposed on the N-type semiconductor and a second gate is disposed on the P-type semiconductor. The first gate is coupled to the output terminal, which is further coupled to the P-type semiconductor. The second gate is coupled to the input terminal, which is coupled to the N-type semiconductor. As reverse bias voltage increases, band-to-band tunneling from valence band to conduction band initially generates increasing current, but the rising bias voltage closes the band to band tunneling window, creating a gated negative differential resistance behavior. The current drops off as the bias voltage further increases. In some examples, a ratio of peak-to-valley current ratio may exceed 103 or 105.

    Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure describe a stressed Ge PD and fabrications techniques for making the same. In one embodiment, a stressor material is deposited underneath an already formed Ge PD. To do so, wafer bonding can be used to bond the wafer containing the Ge PD to a second, handler wafer. Doing so provides support to remove the substrate of the wafer so that a stressor material (e.g., silicon nitride, diamond-like carbon, or silicon-germanium) can be disposed underneath the Ge PD. The stress material induces a stress or strain in the crystal lattice of the Ge which changes its bandgap and improves its responsivity.

    Abstract: A light-emitting device includes a semiconductor diode structure with one or more light-emitting active layers, an anti-reflection coating on its front surface, and a redirection layer on its back surface. Active-layer output light propagates within the diode structure. The anti-reflection coating on the front surface increases transmission of active-layer output light incident below the critical angle ?c. Active-layer output light incident on the redirection layer at an incidence angle greater than ?c is redirected to propagate toward the front surface at an incidence angle that is less than ?c. Device output light is transmitted by the front surface to propagate in an ambient medium, and includes first and second portions of the active-layer output light incident on the front surface at an incidence angle less than ?c, the first portion without redirection by the redirection layer and the second portion with redirection by the redirection layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor light-emitting device includes a junction or active layer between doped semiconductor layers coextensive over a contiguous device area, corresponding sets of electrical contacts connected to the semiconductor layers, and multiple nanostructured optical elements at a surface of one semiconductor layer opposite the other semiconductor layer. Composite electrical contacts of one set include a conductive layer, a transparent dielectric layer between the conductive and semiconductor layers, and vias through the dielectric layer connecting the conductive and semiconductor layers. The nanostructured elements redirect light, propagating laterally in optical modes supported by the semiconductor layers, to exit the device. The composite electrical contacts can be independent and define independently addressable pixel areas of the device. The nanostructured elements and thin semiconductor layers can yield high contrast between adjacent pixel areas without trenches between them.
