Expanding the Optical Capabilities of Germanium in the Infrared Range Through Group IV and III-V-IV Alloy Systems

abstract: The work described in this thesis explores the synthesis of new semiconductors in the Si-Ge-Sn system for application in Si-photonics. Direct gap Ge1-ySny (y=0.12-0.16) alloys with enhanced light emission and absorption are pursued. Monocrystalline layers are grown on Si platforms via epit...
