    Abstract: Disclosed are structures and methods of forming the structures so as to have a photodetector isolated from a substrate by stacked trench isolation regions. In one structure, a first trench isolation region is in and at the top surface of a substrate and a second trench isolation region is in the substrate below the first. A photodetector is on the substrate aligned above the first and second trench isolation regions. In another structure, a semiconductor layer is on an insulator layer and laterally surrounded by a first trench isolation region. A second trench isolation region is in and at the top surface of a substrate below the insulator layer and first trench isolation region. A photodetector is on the semiconductor layer and extends laterally onto the first trench isolation region. The stacked trench isolation regions provide sufficient isolation below the photodetector to allow for direct coupling with an off-chip optical fiber.

    Abstract: An optical waveguide structure may include an optical waveguide structure located within a semiconductor structure and an optical coupler. The optical coupler may include a metallic structure located within an electrical interconnection region of the semiconductor structure, whereby the metallic structure extends downward in a substantially curved shape from a top surface of the electrical interconnection region and couples to the optical waveguide structure. The optical coupler may further include an optical signal guiding region bounded within the metallic structure, whereby the optical coupler receives an optical signal from the top surface and couples the optical signal to the optical waveguide structure such that the optical signal propagation is substantially vertical at the top surface and substantially horizontal at the optical waveguide structure.
