Types of Semiconductors

1.3K
Intrinsic semiconductors are highly pure materials with no impurities. At absolute zero, these semiconductors behave as perfect insulators because all the valence electrons are bound, and the conduction band is empty, disallowing electrical conduction. The Fermi level is a concept used to describe the probability of occupancy of energy levels by electrons at thermal equilibrium. In intrinsic semiconductors, the Fermi level is positioned at the midpoint of the energy gap at absolute zero. When...

    Area of Science:

    • Photonics
    • Quantum Technology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are vital for quantum systems.
    • Standard silicon PICs cannot operate at visible wavelengths due to high absorption.
    • Visible light sources are needed for advanced quantum applications like trapped-ion quantum computers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel hybrid PIC platform for visible light emission.
    • To overcome silicon's absorption limitations for visible light propagation.
    • To enable CMOS-compatible on-chip visible light sources.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a hybrid two-dimensional (2D) integrated silicon-on-insulator (SOI) PIC platform.
    • Utilized monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe2) encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).
    • Employed second-harmonic generation (SHG) for out-of-plane visible light emission.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved out-of-plane visible light emission via SHG from WSe2.
    • Bypassed silicon absorption by using infrared pump light transparent to silicon waveguides.
    • Localized nonlinear frequency conversion within the 2D material at the interface.

    Conclusions:

    • Demonstrated a viable pathway for CMOS-compatible visible light sources on-chip.
    • The hybrid 2D/SOI platform addresses critical needs in quantum technology.
    • This approach enables efficient visible light generation without relying on silicon for visible light propagation.
