    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe a multi-segment optical waveguide that enables an optical modulator to be low-power and athermal by decreasing the device length needed for a given waveguide length. Embodiments of the invention describe an optical waveguide that is folded onto itself, and thus includes at least two sections. Thus, embodiments of the invention may decrease the device size of a modulator by at least around a factor of two if the device is folded twofold (device size may be further reduced if the modulator is folded threefold, four-fold, five-fold, etc.).Embodiments of the invention further enable the electrode length required to create the desired electro-optic effect for the multi-segment optical waveguide to be reduced. In embodiments of the invention, certain electrodes may be “shared” amongst the different segments of the waveguide, thereby reducing the power requirement and capacitance of a device having a waveguide of a given length.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention describe a waveguide-based photodetector device and its methods of fabrication. The waveguide photodetector device comprises a substrate having a cladding structure formed thereon. A waveguide element for receiving optical signals is disposed within the cladding structure. A portion of the waveguide element is encapsulated by a photodetector element that detects the optical signal received by the waveguide element and generates an electrical signal based on the optical signal. Encapsulating the waveguide element in the photodetector element improves coupling efficiency and enables a waveguide photodetector device with higher speeds and higher responsivity.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, light from a single mode light source may be deflected into a low index contrast (LIC) waveguide in an opto-electronic integrated circuit (OEIC) (or “opto-electronic chip”) by a 45 degree mirror. The mirror may be formed by polishing an edge of the die at a 45 degree angle and coating the polished edge with a metal layer. Light coupled into the LIC waveguide may then be transferred from the LIC waveguide to a high index contrast (HIC) waveguide by evanescent coupling.

    Abstract: A method of protecting a sensitive layer from harsh chemistries. The method includes forming a first sensitive layer, forming a second layer upon the first layer, then forming a third layer over the second layer. The third layer is utilized as a mask during patterning of the second layer. During patterning, however, the second layer is only partially etched, thus leaving a buffer layer overlying the first layer. The third layer is completely removed while the buffer layer protects the first layer from the harsh chemicals that are utilized to remove the third layer. Then, the buffer layer is carefully removed down to the surface of the first layer.

The capacitor structure comprises two barrier metal layers separated by a high k dielectric and is formed in all the via and trench openings. The upper barrier layer and dielectric is selectively removed from those openings which will have ordinary vias and conductors, the other opening remains as capaitor.

    Abstract: A metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) device couples light from an optical mode in a waveguide to a surface plasmon polarition (SPP) mode on an electrode surface of the MSM device. Once in an SPP mode, the absorption of light in the semiconductor can take place in a very small area. This may allow for a shrinking of the active detector area and allow for low capacitance, very short transit distance for the electrical carriers and allow for very low voltage devices and/or very high frequency.
