Abstract for Presentation

Photoresponsivity enhancement of Si nanomembrane using strain engineering

 

 

  Silicon has been widely used in the microelectronics industry. However, its photonic applications are restricted to visible and partial near-infrared spectral range owing to its fundamental optical band gap (1.12 eV). With recent advances in strain engineering, material properties, including optical band gap, can be tailored considerably. This paper reports the strain-induced shrinkage in the Si band gap, providing photosensing well beyond its fundamental absorption limit in Si nanomembrane (NM) photodetectors (PD). The Si-NM PD pixels were mechanically stretched (biaxially) by a maximum strain of ~3.5% through pneumatic pressure-induced bulging, enhancing photoresponsivity and extending the Si absorption limit up to 1550 nm, which is the essential wavelength range of the lidar sensors for obstacle detection in self-driving vehicles. Additionally, the development of deformable three-dimensional optoelectronics via gas-pressure-induced bulging facilitated the realization of novel device designs with concave and convex hemispherical architectures, which mimics the electronic prototypes of biological eyes.
