Monolithic SiGe Up‐/Down‐Conversion Mixers with Active Baluns

The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of monolithically matching circuits, interface circuits, and RF core circuits to the same substrate. We designed and fabricated on‐chip 1 to 6 GHz up‐conversion and 1 to 8 GHz down‐conversion mixers using a 0.8 µm SiGe hetero‐junction bipolar transistor (HBT) process technology. To fabricate a SiGe HBT, we used a reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition (RPCVD) system to grow a base epitaxial layer, and we adopted local oxidation of silicon (LOCOS) isolation to separate the device terminals. An up‐conversion mixer was implemented on‐chip using an intermediate frequency (IF) matching circuit, local oscillator (LO)/radio frequency (RF) wideband matching circuits, LO/IF input balun circuits, and an RF output balun circuit. The measured results of the fabricated up‐conversion mixer show a positive power conversion gain from 1 to 6 GHz and a bandwidth of about 4.5 GHz. Also, the down‐conversion mixer was implemented on‐chip using LO/RF wideband matching circuits, LO/RF input balun circuits, and an IF output balun circuit. The measured results of the fabricated down‐conversion mixer show a positive power conversion gain from 1 to 8 GHz and a bandwidth of about 4.5 GHz.     

Germanium islands embedded in strained silicon quantum wells grown on patterned substrates

Germanium islands were embedded in strained silicon quantum wells in order to provide an improved electron confinement in vicinity of the islands. Growth was performed on relaxed SiGe layers. Patterned substrates were used, favouring lattice relaxation as well permitting the fabrication of small Ge islands at deposition temperatures above 500 °C. Photoluminescence analysis reveals a strongly reduced dislocation related signal. The low temperature spectra are dominated by intense signals from the germanium islands. The origin of these signals were investigated by removing the islands by etching, analysing reference samples without a silicon quantum well, varying the germanium deposition and the growth temperature.

基于紫外光刻的双轴张应变Ge/SiGe多量子阱电吸收调制器北大核心CSCD

采用紫外光刻工艺(ultraviolet lithography technique,UVL),在互补金属氧化物半导体(complementary metal oxide semiconductor,CMOS)兼容的硅基平台上制作了基于悬空微桥结构在Ge/SiGe多量子阱材料中引入双轴张应变的低偏振相关电吸收调制器。利用拉曼光谱测试了器件引入双轴张应变的大小,并对器件在横电(transverse electric,TE)偏振和横磁(transverse magnetic,TM)偏振下的光电流响应、调制消光比和高频响应等性能进行了测试。器件的低偏振相关消光比在0 V/4 V工作电压下可达5.8 dB,3 dB调制带宽在4 V反向偏置电压时为8.3 GHz。与电子束光刻工艺(electron beam lithography technique,EBL)相比,采用UVL制作的器件在调制消光比、高频响应带宽等性能上略差一点,但具有曝光时间短、成本低和可大批量生产等优势,应用前景广阔。

Power·delay product in COSMOS logic circuits

In this simulation work, we use COSMOS logic devices—a novel single gate CMOS architecture recently announced [1]—in multi-input logic gates, assessing its performance in terms of power·delay product. We consider three different multi-input logic circuits: a two-input NOR gate, a three-input NOR gate, and a three-input composite NOR/NAND (NORAND) gate. For this power·delay analysis, the transient TCAD simulations are employed in a mixed-mode approach where circuit and device simulations are coupled together, culminating in the delay response of the circuits as well as the static/dynamic current components. The analysis shows that all circuits, except the 3-input NOR gate, has acceptable characteristics at low-power applications and static leakage limits all COSMOS circuits at high-bias conditions.     

Photoreflectance Spectroscopy for Study of Si/SiGe/Si Heterostructure

UHVCVD-grown Si/Si1- xGex/Si heterostructure was investigated by Photoreflectance spectroscopy (PR). The principle of PR used in semiconductor film was thoroughly described. According to the E1 transition energy in the Si1- xGex alloy, the Ge content in SiGe film with constant composition can be accurately characterized. In this study, determine the composition uniformity of larger diameter SiGe epiwafer by PR mapping technique was determined. These results show PR is very promising for Si1- xGex epilayer characterization with constant Ge content and can provide film measurements for production-worthy line monitor.
