Additional information

This paper provides a unique and comprehensive exploration of the potential of germanium-on-sapphire (GeOS) substrates to revolutionise the fabrication of high performance system-on-chip SOC architectures. The paper illustrates methods of production, including the use of ion-cut technology to achieve ultra-thin germanium layers. The results show the significant performance gains that are possible using the GeOS structures. Integration of GaAs for fabrication of an infrared imager system is also discussed. The methods described was supported by EPSRC programme EP/E030130/01and serves as a platform for development of high performance electronics.
