Group III-V Semiconductors are currently used for Si Photonics but aren't suitable for industry due to their high cost, and incompatibility with CMOS processes.
Group IV Semiconductor Ge is considered as a pseudo-direct bandgap material, because the difference between the direct and indirect bandgap of Ge is only 0.140 meV.
Fabrication of cost effective and high-efficient Si-based emitters that can cover the short-wave and mid-infrared range of spectrum for Si photonics and optoelectronic industry.
