Flexible Nanophotonic Cavity-Enhanced Infrared Photodetectors Employing Double Quantum Wells
Double-quantum-well infrared photodetectors (DQWIPs) integrated with nanophotonic cavities enable highly responsive mid-infrared detection through enhanced intersubband absorption in the thin semiconductor heterostructure. Additionally, the technology is compatible with flexible substrates.
Background:
Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIPs)...

Improved Chemical-Mechanical Polishing Slurry Composition and Method to Improve Polishing of Metals and Non-metals Using Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles
Reducing manufacturing time, cost, and labor by employing chemistry to transform a two-step process into an easily controlled single-step.
Background: Integrated circuits are built of many layers. Each layer must be perfectly flat so that connections line up between layers and electricity flows properly throughout. Conventional CMP systems consist...
