Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have attracted great attention as a novel class of gain materials for low-threshold, on-chip coherent light sources. Despite several experimental reports on lasing, the underlying gain mechanism of 2D materials remains elusive due to a lack of key information, including modal gain and the confinement factor. Here, we demonstrate a novel approach to directly determine the absorption coefficient of monolayer WS by characterizing the whispering gallery modes in a van der Waals microdisk cavity.

We demonstrate GeSn p-channel gate-all-around field-effect transistors (p-GAAFETs) with sub-3 nm nanowire width () on a GeSn-on-insulator (GeSnOI) substrate using a top-down fabrication process. Thanks to the excellent gate control by employing an aggressively scaled nanowire structure, GeSn p-GAAFETs exhibit a small subthreshold swing (SS) of 66 mV/decade, a decent on-current/off-current (/) ratio of ∼1.2 × 10, and a high-field effective hole mobility () of ∼115 cm/(V s).

Lasers monolithically integrated with high speed MOSFETs on the silicon (Si) substrate could be a key to realize low cost, low power, and high speed opto-electronic integrated circuits (OEICs). In this paper, we report the monolithic integration of InGaAs channel transistors with electrically pumped GaAs/AlGaAs lasers on the Si substrate for future advanced OEICs. The laser and transistor layers were grown on the Si substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using direct epitaxial growth.

We report the first monolithic integration of InGaAs channel field-effect transistors with InGaAs/GaAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) lasers on a common platform, achieving a milestone in the path of enabling low power and high speed opto-electronic integrated circuits (OEICs). The III-V layers used for realizing transistors and lasers were grown epitaxially on the Ge substrate using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). A Si-CMOS compatible process was developed to realize InGaAs n-FETs with subthreshold swing SS of 93 mV/decade, I/I ratio of more than 4 orders of magnitude with very low off-state leakage current, and a peak effective mobility of more than 2000 cm/V·s.

Angiolipoma is one of the rare variant of lipoma. This benign tumour consists of both fatty and vascular elements. It mostly occur in the trunk and extremities and is uncommon in head and neck region.
