Photonic crystal cavities in cubic (3C) polytype silicon carbide films.

چکیده
We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of high quality factor (Q ~10(3)) and small mode volume (V ~0.75 (λ/n)(3)) planar photonic crystal cavities from cubic (3C) thin films (thickness ~200 nm) of silicon carbide (SiC) grown epitaxially on a silicon substrate. We demonstrate cavity resonances across the telecommunications band, with wavelengths from 1.25 - 1.6 μm. Finally, we discuss possible applications in nonlinear optics, optical interconnects, and quantum information science.

Polytype distribution of circumstellar silicon carbide: Microstructural characterization by transmission electron microscopy
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a particularly interesting species of presolar grain because it is known to form on the order of a hundred different polytypes in the laboratory, and the formation of a particular polytype is sensitive to growth conditions. Astronomical evidence for the formation of SiC in expanding circumstellar atmospheres of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) carbon stars is provided by i...
متن کاملPolytype distribution in circumstellar silicon carbide.
The inferred crystallographic class of circumstellar silicon carbide based on astronomical infrared spectra is controversial. We have directly determined the polytype distribution of circumstellar SiC from transmission electron microscopy of presolar silicon carbide from the Murchison carbonaceous meteorite. Only two polytypes (of a possible several hundred) were observed: cubic 3C and hexagona...
متن کاملEnhanced Characteristics of Square-Shaped Extended Source TFET Via Silicon Carbide Polytype (3C-SiC) and a Dopant Pocket Layer
In this paper, for the first time, the square-shaped extended source tunneling field-effect transistor (SES TFET) by means of the silicon carbide polytype (3C-SiC) and dopant pocket layer has been presented. By inserting the silicon carbide polytype as substrate and n-type pocket in the channel at the source edge, on-current is increased by about 10 times compared with the conventional SES TFET...
متن کاملQuantum-confined single photon emission at room temperature from SiC tetrapods.
Controlled engineering of isolated solid state quantum systems is one of the most prominent goals in modern nanotechnology. In this letter we demonstrate a previously unknown quantum system namely silicon carbide tetrapods. The tetrapods have a cubic polytype core (3C) and hexagonal polytype legs (4H)--a geometry that creates spontaneous polarization within a single tetrapod. Modeling of the te...
متن کاملNonlinear optical imaging of defects in cubic silicon carbide epilayers
Silicon carbide is one of the most promising materials for power electronic devices capable of operating at extreme conditions. The widespread application of silicon carbide power devices is however limited by the presence of structural defects in silicon carbide epilayers. Our experiment demonstrates that optical second harmonic generation imaging represents a viable solution for characterizin...
