Published: October 2011

We design, fabricate and characterize a CMOS-compatible, Mach-Zehnder-coupled, second-order-microring-resonator filter with large Free Spectral Range and demonstrate non-blocking thermo-optical filter reconfiguration. The device consists of 10-μm radius silicon microring resonators, with an FSR equivalent to that of a structure consisting of 5-μm radii microrings. The structure is reconfigurable over an 8.5 nm range without blocking other channels in the network.

Superhydrophobic surfaces are essential in various industries such as textiles, aviation, electronics and biomedical devices due to their exceptional water-repellent properties. Black silicon (b-Si) would be an ideal candidate for some applications due to its nanoscale topography made with a convenient lithography-free step and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) compatible fabrication process. However, its use is hindered by serious issues with mechanical robustness.

Rapid and sensitive detection of virus-related antigens and antibodies is crucial for controlling sudden seasonal epidemics and monitoring neutralizing antibody levels after vaccination. However, conventional detection methods still face challenges related to compatibility with rapid, highly sensitive, and compact detection apparatus. In this work, we developed a Si nanowire (SiNW)-based field-effect biosensor by precisely controlling the process conditions to achieve the required electrical properties via complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible nanofabrication processes.

This study investigates the role of pitch size in achieving high numerical aperture (NA) and focusing efficiency in metalens design, while demonstrating how high refractive index materials contribute to performance enhancement by enabling smaller pitch sizes through reduced filling ratios. Silicon-rich nitride (SRN) was chosen as the material platform due to its high refractive index, CMOS compatibility, and cost-effective fabrication. Two SRN-based metalenses were designed: a geometric phase metalens (GPM) and a propagation phase metalens (PPM), each evaluated at aspect ratios of 10:1 and 4:1.

The optoelectronic memristor integrates the multifunctionalities of image sensing, storage, and processing, which has been considered as the leading candidate to construct novel neuromorphic visual system. In particular, memristive materials with all-optical modulation and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility are highly desired for energy-efficient image perception. As a p-type oxide material, CuO exhibits outstanding theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency and broadband photoresponse.
