Description

Heterostructures exploiting Group IV semiconductors such as Si, Ge and becoming more and more relevant for several applications including infrared sensing and quantum computation. The detection of near and mid-infrared radiation is extremely relevant in material recognition, sensing and imaging. The availability of Si-compatible materials enabling the fabrication of near and mid-infrared detectors, waveguides and modulators would greatly increase the number of applications profiting from infrared devices. At the same tame, quantum computation would greatly benefit from the availability of CMOS compatible materials and processes to achieve the large scale production of electrostatically defined quantum dots that can be operated as qubit. In this context, hole states in Ge quantum wells feature unique physical properties that make them ideal for qubit implementation.
