Klein, Julian (author), Kampermann, Laura (author), Mockenhaupt, B.M. (author), Behrens, Malte (author), Strunk, Jennifer (author), Bacher, Gerd (author)The Tauc plot is a method originally developed to derive the optical gap of amorphous semiconductors such as amorphous germanium or silicon. By measuring the absorption coefficient α(hν) and plotting (Formula presented.) versus photon energy hν, a value for the optical gap (Tauc gap) is determined. In this way non-direct optical transitions...journal article 2023

Spoor, F.C.M. (author), Grimaldi, G. (author), Kinge, Sachin (author), Houtepen, A.J. (author), Siebbeles, L.D.A. (author)Carrier multiplication (CM) is the process in which multiple electron–hole pairs are created upon absorption of a single photon in a semiconductor. CM by an initially hot charge carrier occurs in competition with cooling by phonon emission, with the respective rates determining the CM efficiency. Up until now, CM rates have only been calculated...journal article 2019

Lee, M.J. (author), Ronchini Ximenes, A. (author), Padmanabhan, P. (author), Wang, Tzu Jui (author), Huang, Kuo Chin (author), Yamashita, Yuichiro (author), Yaung, Dun Nian (author), Charbon-Iwasaki-Charbon, E. (author)We present a high-performance back-illuminated three-dimensional stacked single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), which is implemented in 45-nm CMOS technology for the first time. The SPAD is based on a P<sup>+</sup>/Deep N-well junction with a circular shape, for which N-well is intentionally excluded to achieve a wide depletion region, thus...journal article 2018

(author)Particle defects are important contributors to yield loss in semi-conductor manufacturing. Particles need to be detected and characterized in order to determine and eliminate their root cause. We have conceived a process flow for advanced defect classification (ADC) that distinguishes three consecutive steps; detection, review and...conference paper 2017

(author), Boller, K.J. (author)We report on a novel type of laser in which a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) receives frequency-selective feedback from a glass-waveguide circuit. The laser we present here is based on InP for operation in the 1.55 µm wavelength range. The Si3N4/SiO2 glass waveguide circuit comprises two sequential high-Q ring resonators. Adiabatic...conference paper 2014

Ramakrishnan, G. (author)Terahertz light is electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light. The photons that the terahertz light is comprised of carry a much smaller amount of energy compared to the visible light photons. Unlike visible light, terahertz light can pass through materials like plastic, cardboards, wood etc.; a very useful property which enables it to...doctoral thesis 2012

Jarolimek, K. (author)Crystalline silicon is probably the best studied material, widely used by the semiconductor industry. The subject of this thesis is an intriguing form of this element namely amorphous silicon. It can contain a varying amount of hydrogen and is denoted as a-Si:H. It completely lacks the neat long range order of the crystal, yet its structure is...doctoral thesis 2011
