In a method for electrically doping a semiconducting material, a layer of germanium is formed having a germanium layer thickness, while in situ incorporating phosphorus dopant atoms at a concentration of at least about 5&#xd7;10cmthrough the thickness of the germanium layer during formation of the germanium layer. Additional phosphorus dopant atoms are ex situ incorporated through the thickness of the germanium layer, after formation of the germanium layer, to produce through the germanium layer thickness a total phosphorus dopant concentration of at least about 2&#xd7;10cm.

Method for high-concentration doping of germanium with phosphorous

In a method of forming a photonic device, a first silicon electrode is formed, and then a germanium active layer is formed on the first silicon electrode while including n-type dopant atoms in the germanium layer, during formation of the layer, to produce a background electrical dopant concentration that is greater than an intrinsic dopant concentration of germanium. A second silicon electrode is then formed on a surface of the germanium active layer. The formed germanium active layer is doped with additional dopant for supporting an electrically-pumped guided mode as a laser gain medium with an electrically-activated n-type electrical dopant concentration that is greater than the background dopant concentration to overcome electrical losses of the photonic device.

High-concentration active doping in semiconductors and semiconductor devices produced by such doping

A magnetometer unit which may be incorporated in an electronic device receives first magnetic response data from a first magnetic sensor and second magnetic response data from a second magnetic sensor displaced from the first magnetic sensor. The magnetometer unit generates a composite response surface representation from the first magnetic response data and the second magnetic response data, and stores the composite response surface representation in a non-transitory memory.
