Stress Engineering With Silicon Nitride Stressors for Ge-on-Si Lasers

Side and top silicon nitride stressors were proposed and shown to be effective in reducing the threshold current I<sub>th</sub> and in improving the wall-plug efficiency &#x03B7;<sub>wp</sub> of Ge-on-Si lasers. Side stressors only turned out to be a more efficient way to...
