    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe dielectric layers and methods for their fabrication and use. In some embodiments, a dielectric layer may include a dielectric material and a plurality of elongate pores. The dielectric material may have a first surface and an opposing second surface spaced away from the first surface in a direction defined by an axis, and may have a Young's modulus (E0) in the direction defined by the axis. Individual elongate pores of the plurality of elongate pores may extend from the second surface with a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the axis. The plurality of elongate pores may provide the dielectric layer with a porosity, p, greater than approximately 30%, and the dielectric layer may have a Young's modulus approximately equal to E0*(1−p) in the direction defined by the axis. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: EOP-based photonic devices employing coplanar electrodes and in-plane poled chromophores and methods of their manufacture. In an individual EOP-based photonic device, enhanced performance is achieved through in-plane poled chromophores having opposing polarities, enabling, for example, a push-pull optical modulator with reduced operational voltage and switching power relative to a conventional MZ modulator. For a plurality of EOP-based photonic devices, enhanced manufacturability is achieved through a sacrificial interconnect enabling concurrent in-plane poling of many EOP regions disposed on a substrate.

    摘要: Techniques and structure are disclosed for enhancing fracture resistance of back-end interconnects and other such interconnect structures by increasing via density. Increased via density can be provided, for example, within the filler/dummified portion(s) of adjacent circuit layers within a die. In some cases, an electrically isolated (floating) filler line of an upper circuit layer may include a via which lands on a floating filler line of a lower circuit layer in a region corresponding to where the filler lines cross/intersect. In some such cases, the floating filler line of the upper circuit layer may be formed as a dual-damascene structure including such a via. In some embodiments, a via similarly may be provided between a floating filler line of the upper circuit layer and a sufficiently electrically isolated interconnect line of the lower circuit layer. The techniques/structure can be used to provide mechanical integrity for the die.
