    Abstract: Methods for fabricating a backside device contact using a silicon-on-insulator substrate that includes a device layer, a buried insulator layer, and a handle wafer. A trench is formed that extends through the device layer or a trench isolation region in the device layer and that further extends partially through the buried insulator layer. A sacrificial material is deposited in the trench and, thereafter, at least one dielectric layer is formed on the device layer. An opening is formed in the at least one dielectric layer that communicates with the trench. After the opening is formed, the sacrificial material is removed from the trench with access through the opening. After the sacrificial material is removed from the trench, the trench is filled with a contact plug and the opening is filled with a contact coupled with the contact plug.

    Abstract: A method of forming an integrated photonic semiconductor structure having a photodetector and a CMOS device may include forming the CMOS device on a first silicon-on-insulator region, forming a silicon optical waveguide on a second silicon-on-insulator region, and forming a shallow trench isolation (STI) region surrounding the silicon optical waveguide such that the shallow trench isolation electrically isolates the first and second silicon-on-insulator region. Within the STI region, a germanium material is deposited adjacent an end facet of the semiconductor optical waveguide. The germanium material forms an active region that receives propagating optical signals from the end facet of the semiconductor optical waveguide.
