    Abstract: A method of protecting a CMOS device within an integrated photonic semiconductor structure is provided. The method may include depositing a conformal layer of germanium over the CMOS device and an adjacent area to the CMOS device, depositing a conformal layer of dielectric hardmask over the germanium, and forming, using a mask level, a patterned layer of photoresist for covering the CMOS device and a photonic device formation region within the adjacent area. Openings are etched into areas of the deposited layer of silicon nitride not covered by the patterned photoresist, such that the areas are adjacent to the photonic device formation region. The germanium material is then etched from the conformal layer of germanium at a location underlying the etched openings for forming the photonic device at the photonic device formation region. The conformal layer of germanium deposited over the CMOS device protects the CMOS device.

    Abstract: Device structures and fabrication methods for a backside contact to a final substrate An electrically-conducting connection is formed that extends through a device layer of a silicon-on-insulator substrate and partially through a buried insulator layer of the silicon-on-insulator substrate. After the electrically-conducting connection is formed, a handle wafer of the silicon-on-insulator substrate is removed. After the handle wafer is removed, the buried insulator layer is partially removed to expose the electrically-conducting connection. After the buried insulator layer is partially removed, a final substrate is coupled to the buried insulator layer such that the electrically-conducting connection is coupled with the final substrate.
