In such microstructures light confinement effects, due to crystal faceting and pattern periodicity, enhance light absorption as compared to conventional epitaxial layers. The challenge in realizing this type of devices is the formation of a top transparent contact suspended on the microcrystal array. Graphene can be used as a suspended contact that can adapt to the 3D-morphology of the microcrystals, ensuring the formation of an electrically continuous layer. The fabricated devices feature a responsivity exceeding that of planar devices with comparable thickness.","PeriodicalId":158770,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 17th International Conference on Group IV Photonics (GFP)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129367506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such configuration can be achieved by loading Ge with tensile strain [5] by alloying with Sn [6] or both [7], [8].
