Fabrication of semiconductor lasers with a Fabry–Pérot cavity usually includes facet cleavage, however, that is not compatible with on-chip photonic integration. Etching as an alternative approach holds a great advantage in preparing cavity mirrors with no need of breaking wafer into bars. However, gallium nitride (GaN) sidewalls prepared by dry etching often have a large roughness and etching damages, which would cause mirror loss due to optical scattering and carrier injection loss because of surface non-radiative recombination. A wet chemical polishing process of GaN sidewall facets formed by dry etching was studied in detail to remove the etching damages and smooth the vertical sidewalls. The wet chemical polishing technique combined with dry etching was successfully applied to the on-wafer fabrication of cavity mirrors, which enabled the realization of room temperature electrically injected InGaN-based laser diodes grown on Si. Silicon photonics call for electrically injected semiconductor laser diodes (LDs) as on-chip light sources1–3. When grown on Si, III-nitride (Al, Ga, In)N semiconductors with a direct-band emission wavelength ranging from 0.2 to 1.8 μm ofer a new approach for achieving on-chip lasers4–7.

    Etch Overview for Microsystems Primary Knowledge Participant Guide

    Etch Overview for Microsystems Primary Knowledge Participant Guide Description and Estimated Time to Complete This Learning Module introduces the most common etch processes used in the fabrication of microsystems. Activities allow you to demonstrate your understanding of the terminology and basic concepts of these processes. This unit provides an overview of the etch processes as they apply to the fabrication of Microsystems or Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS). It is designed to provide basic information on the etch processes and how they are used in the fabrication of MEMS. This unit will introduce you to etch terminology, purpose and processes. Additional instructional units provide more in-depth discussion of the topics introduced in this overview. Estimated Time to Complete Allow at least 30 minutes to review. Southwest Center for Microsystems Education (SCME) Page 1 of 21 Fab_Etch_PK00_PG_April2017.docx Etch Overview PK Introduction Pattern Transfer For microsystems fabrication etch is a process that removes select materials from • the wafer's surface, • below the wafer's surface, or • from within the substrate. The etch process normally follows photolithography or deposition during which a protective masking layer is applied to the wafer's surface. The protective masking layer is used to identify the material to be etched and to protect material that is to remain. The figure labeled “Pattern Transfer,” illustrates a mask pattern transferred into a photosensitive layer, shown in red (masking layer), on the wafer's surface (Photolithography Process). During the Etch Process (right), that pattern is transferred into the surface layer, removing exposed areas of the surface layer and leaving areas in the underlying layer open to a subsequent process step.

Anderson Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California ͑Received 1 June 2000; accepted 23 August 2000͒ Dry etching of 30 nm features was investigated for x-ray and integrated electronics applications. These typically require etching of either a tungsten absorber layer or a silicon mold. Through the use of an inductively coupled plasma source and accurate control over substrate temperature it was possible to achieve highly anisotropic patterning of tungsten and silicon. Densely patterned features as small as 30 nm and at pitches of 70 nm were etched in tungsten and silicon, to depths of 100 and 200 nm, respectively. © 2000 American Vacuum Society. ͓S0734-211X͑00͒18406-9͔ I.

    IEEE Spectrum: 25 Microchips That Shook the World http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/print/8747 Sponsored By Select Font Size: A A A 25 Microchips That Shook the World By Brian R. Santo This is part of IEEE Spectrum 's Special Report: 25 Microchips That Shook the World . In microchip design, as in life, small things sometimes add up to big things. Dream up a clever microcircuit, get it sculpted in a sliver of silicon, and your little creation may unleash a technological revolution. It happened with the Intel 8088 microprocessor. And the Mostek MK4096 4-kilobit DRAM. And the Texas Instruments TMS32010 digital signal processor. Among the many great chips that have emerged from fabs during the half-century reign of the integrated circuit, a small group stands out. Their designs proved so cutting-edge, so out of the box, so ahead of their time, that we are left groping for more technology clichés to describe them. Suffice it to say that they gave us the technology that made our brief, otherwise tedious existence in this universe worth living. We’ve compiled here a list of 25 ICs that we think deserve the best spot on the mantelpiece of the house that Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce built. Some have become enduring objects of worship among the chiperati: the Signetics 555 timer, for example. Others, such as the Fairchild 741 operational amplifier, became textbook design examples. Some, like Microchip Technology’s PIC microcontrollers, have sold billions, and are still doing so. A precious few, like Toshiba’s flash memory, created whole new markets.

Driven by the technology of the information age, sci- entists have examined the unique properties of semiconductors, funda- mentally exploited new combinations of these novel materials, and devel- oped innovative design techniques to miniaturize electronic components. At the heart of this research is the ever- shrinking and exceedingly complex in- tegrated circuit microchip.
