ABSTRACTA survey is given about the potential use of Si/SiGe heterostructures for applications in the mid-infrared spectral range. We discuss theoretical foundations and experiments of intersubband absorption in p-type Si/SiGe quantum wells and show that due to the complex valence-band structure, normal-incidence absorption can be observed. On the basis of these quantum wells, mid-infrared detectors were fabricated and characterized in terms of responsivity, dark current and detectivity. In asymmetric, compositionally stepped quantum wells second harmonic generation of CO2 laser radiation has been demonstrated.
