Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Ge epitaxial layer on Si has been used in silicon photonics as a material for photodetectors and optical intensity modulators operating in the optical communication wavelengths. A tensile lattice strain as large as 0.2% is generated in Ge because of the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the Ge layer and Si substrate. The strain induces a narrowing of direct bandgap for Ge from 0.80 eV to 0.77 eV, extending the fundamental optical absorption edge from 1.55 ?m to 1.61 ?m in wavelength. This property is effective to realize photodetectors with a high efficiency at 1.55 ?m, while the optical intensity modulators operate at around 1.61 ?m. For the modulator operation at 1.55 ?m, a bandgap widening is necessary. In order to increase the bandgap, a method is demonstrated utilizing sub-micron-wide wire structures. Effects of SiNx stressor deposited on Ge are also reported.
