This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The computer revolution experienced in recent years has been possible thanks to semiconductor materials, such as silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide. The success of the silicon-based microelectronics is due to the ability to integrate multiple elements on the same chip such as processors, memories, and interfaces. However, the increasing miniaturization and the realization of faster devices have revealed the difficulty to overcome the intrinsic limits of these materials. For example, devices have to dissipate the heat produced by the enormous power density involved, without damaging themselves , and the lengths can not be reduced indefinitely if one wants to ensure the synchronization of the signals. All these limitations have led to research into technologies that overcome the physical limits of the silicon-based microelectronics. From the outset, the most promising approach has been photonics. In photonics, the so-called photonic crystals have aroused a widespread interest. These innovative materials are fundamental for the construction of optical circuits, i.e. circuits in which the transmission of information is carried out by photons instead of electrons. These materials can be considered as the optical analogue of semiconductors: in semiconductors the presence of a periodic potential, causes the formation of electronic energy bands separated by forbidden intervals called energy gaps, where there are not electronic states. In a photonic crystal, a periodic distribution of dielectrics with different refractive index causes the formation of a so-called photonic energy gap: photons with energy values internal to the forbidden gap can not pass through the crystal and will be refected or conffined inside of it. The goal of this thesis is the fabrication of photonic crystals based on macroporous silicon technology and their optical characterization using infrared spectroscopy in order to reveal the presence of photonic band gaps. All the fabrication and characterization processes were carried out in the clean room and laboratories of the "Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)" , thanks to the collaboration of the "Grup de Recerca en Micro i Nanotecnologies". The thesis is structured as follows: in Chapter 1 are presented the theoretical aspects related to photonic crystals, as well as the mechanism of formation of macropores in n-type silicon wafers by electrochemical etching. In chapter 2 is explained the fabrication process of the macroporous silicon photonic crystals detailing all the process steps to which the silicon wafer is subjected to obtain the desired structures. Photographs taken by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) are also reported to verify the correspondence between the obtained structures and those drawn in the design phase. In Chapter 3, using the MIT photonic band gap (MPB) software package, developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) , the band diagrams of different photonic structures are computed to study how certain design parameters could affect the position and width of the photonic band gaps. Chapter 4 presents the results of the refection and thermal emission measurements, carried out by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) to determine the optical response and to verify the presence of photonic band gaps in the fabricated structures. Finally, in Chapter 5 are given the conclusions of this thesis.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, I am presenting my research on the fabrication and simulation of the optical properties of 3D photonic crystals and 2D graded photonic super-crystals. The 3D photonic crystals were fabricated using holographic lithography with a single, custom-built reflective optical element (ROE) and single exposure from a visible light laser. Fully 3D photonic crystals with 4-fold, 5- fold, and 6-fold symmetries were fabricated using the flexible, 3D printed ROE. In addition, novel 2D graded photonic super-crystals were fabricated using a spatial light modulator (SLM) in a 4f setup for pixel-by-pixel phase engineering. The SLM was used to control the phase and intensity of sets of beams to fabricate the 2D photonic crystals in a single exposure. The 2D photonic crystals integrate super-cell periodicities with 4-fold, 5-fold, and 6-fold symmetries and a graded fill fraction. The simulations of the 2D graded photonic super-crystals show extraordinary properties such as full photonic band gaps and cavity modes with Q-factors of ̃106. This research could help in the development of organic light emitting diodes, high-efficiency solar cells, and other devices.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multibeam interference lithography is investigated as a manufacturing technique for three-dimensional photonic crystal templates. In this research, optimization of the optical setup and the photoresist initiation system leads to a significant improvement of the optical quality of the crystal, as characterized by normal incidence optical spectroscopy. Theoretical spectra are calculated and demonstrate close agreement with experimental values, indicating that this fabrication process achieves excellent optical quality. X-ray microscopy provides non-destructive inspection of the fabricated crystals at nano-scale resolution. A reconstructed crystal model is generated by computed tomography which allows for comparison to a predicted structure's geometry and optical spectra. Using the polymer crystal as a template, electrodeposition is performed to completely infiltrate the crystal with Cu2O. After polymer removal the inverted Cu2O crystal exhibits a high peak reflectance at the predicted wavelength, indicating the structure is an exact inverse of the template. A conformal growth algorithm is developed for the commonly used chemical vapor deposition infiltration technique to explain growth results and verified experimentally with atomic layer deposition of oxide materials. Finally, a customized chemically amplified positive photoresist system and its processing steps are developed as a route to zero-shrinkage template material for high fidelity patterning of the designed interference patterns.
