Abstract: Structures including a photodetector and methods of fabricating such structures. The photodetector is positioned over the top surface of the substrate. The photodetector includes a portion of a semiconductor layer comprised of a semiconductor alloy, a p-type doped region in the portion of the semiconductor layer, and an n-type doped region in the portion of the semiconductor layer. The p-type doped region and the n-type doped region converge along a p-n junction. The portion of the semiconductor layer has a first side and a second side opposite from the first side. The semiconductor alloy has a composition that is laterally graded from the first side to the second side of the portion of the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor structure with a photodiode including: a well region with a first-type conductivity in a substrate, a trench in the well region, and multiple conformal semiconductor layers in the trench. The semiconductor layers include a first semiconductor layer, which is, for example, an intrinsic semiconductor layer and lines the trench, and a second semiconductor layer, which has a second-type conductivity and which is on the first semiconductor layer within (but not filling) the trench and which also extends outside the trench onto a dielectric layer. An additional dielectric layer extends over and caps a cavity that is at least partially within the trench such that surfaces of the second semiconductor layer are exposed within the cavity. Fluid inlet/outlet ports extend to the cavity and contacts extend to the well region and to the second semiconductor layer. Also disclosed are methods for forming and using the semiconductor structure.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) structure with a passage for a waveguide through a barrier structure. The PIC structure includes a barrier structure on a substrate, having a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite the first sidewall. A passage is within the barrier structure, and extends from a first end at the first sidewall of the barrier structure to a second end at the second sidewall of the barrier structure. A shape of the passage includes a reversal segment between the first end and the second end. A waveguide within the passage and extends from the first end to the second end of the barrier structure.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method to authenticate an integrated circuit (IC) structure. The method may include forming a first authentication film (AF) material within the IC structure. A composition of the first AF material is different from an adjacent material within the IC structure. The method includes converting the first AF material into a void within the IC structure. Additionally, the method includes creating an authentication map of the IC structure to include a location of the void in the IC structure for authentication of the IC structure.
