Description
CMC offers this technology through a partnership with Advanced Micro Foundry (AMF).
Features
- Silicon-on-insulator, 220-nm top Si film, 2000-nm buried oxide (BOX)
- High resistivity handle wafer (>750 ohm-cm)
- 193-nm deep UV lithography for waveguides, enabling features down to approximately 140 nm
- Two partial etches and one full etch of the top silicon
- 6 implants for optical modulators (P++, P+, P, N++, N+, N)
- Germanium deposition and implanting for photodetectors
- Two metal levels, no planarization
- Front side oxide etch to selectively expose waveguides, e.g. for sensing applications
- Deep trench with etched facets for edge coupling
- Supports design and fabrication of a range of components and systems consisting of:
- modulators
- detectors
- waveguides (strip or ridge)
- gratings for fiber coupling
- deep trench and nano-tapers for edge coupling
- multiplexers (diffraction or arrayed waveguide) and filters (resonators, Bragg gratings)
- ring and disk resonators
