Researchers within the Center for Broadband
Data Transport Science and Technology are developing computer-assisted
design (CAD) tools for electronic and photonic devices that
allow designers to predict and optimize the performance of
optoelectronic circuits and systems for broadband data transport.
Members' synergistic research also includes development of
optoelectronic components ranging from wave-guides on chip
to vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs).
Center researchers also are creating high-speed
photonic emitters for integration with silicon (Si) and/or
silicon germanium (SiGe) electronics. Such emitters will result
in faster links and reduced power consumption – as well
as potentially unlimited information flow. Through this revolutionary
technology, Internet speed, for example, would become up to
a million times faster than the most rapid access currently
available.
Other research focuses on SiGe heterobipolar
transistor (HBT) bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor
(BiCMOS) design and its applications to wireless circuits;
ultra wide band, high-speed processor design; landed Internet
circuits; asynchronous circuits; and single-event upset (SEU)
tolerant SiGe circuit design.
Researchers also are studying novel quantum
confined structures with increased electron correlation and
electron-optical coupling; new lattice-matched heterostructures
broadening the spectral range of the light emitters; design
and implementation of optoelectronic devices based on quantum
confined active medium and optical micro- and nanocavities;
and hybrid integration technologies suitable for transferring
massively-parallel III-V arrays of devices onto silicon platforms.
