OPTOELECTRONIC FUNCTIONAL ELECTRONIC BLOCKS.
Abstract
Investigtions of optoelectronic phenomena are being performed in an effort to extend the appli cability of integrated circuits. The combination of the isolation feature of optical coupling with existing silicon integrated circuit technology has suggested a new series of Optoelectronic Functional Electronic Blocks which provide functions previously impossible or extremely difficult to attain in solid-state form. The program has been divided into two tasks. Task I covers the design and fabrication of an Optoelectronic Pulse Amplifier and an Optoelectronic DC amplifier. Task II is concerned with the semiconductor technology necessary to adequately implement the two Optoelectronic Functional Electronic Blocks selected for study. The technology investigations under Task II include studies of (1) Optical Coupling Structures, (2) GaAs - GaAs(x)P(1-x), (3) Slice Processing, (4) Junction Passivation. (Author)
