Abstract
An electronic device may include a poled region having a net electrical dipole moment and including a semiconductor layer and at least one non-semiconductor monolayer constrained within a crystal lattice of the silicon layer. The electronic device may further include a plurality of spaced apart alternating N-type and P-type regions within the poled region to align the net electrical dipole moment of the poled region, and at least one electrode associated with the poled region. The poled region may be a superlattice, for example.
