Abstract
Analysis the waveguiding properties of oxygen-implanted, buried-oxide, silicon-on-insulator structures
Can support TE0 guided-wave propagation,
at sub-bandgap wavelengths (λ = 1.3um),
with losses 1dB/cm

Current Interest (2)
Optical waveguide in crystalline siliconGraded-index waveguides
– Performance of Epitaxial-silicon optical waveguides at λ =1.3nm (Soref and Lorenzo)
Epitaxial waveguidesAntiresonant reflecting optical waveguides
– Low loss, but expense of isolating the guided energy from crystalline-silicon substrate
Impurities introduced into the epitaxial silicon layer by ion implanatation (D.G. Hall)
– unacceptably high propagation lossesUse of silocon itself as a waveguide at wavelength >1.1um

Silicon On Insulator technology
Use single-crystal layer separated from a conventional silicon substrate by a thin layer of silicon dioxide

Electrically resistant to radiation effect
Also an ideal waveguide for use in optics
(acceptably low radiation-leakage-loss limit 1dB/cm @ λ =1.3um)

High dose of oxygen ions(≈ 1018 ion/cm2)(150~200 keV, 450 ~ 500°C)
Use SIMOX (separation by Implanted Oxygen) process

where, ŷ= unit vector,
β = 2πN/λ(propagation constant)
N = β/k (effective index)
k0 = 2π/λ

Analysis to determine SOI(2)
Full range of oxide thickness Attenuation varies 6 orders of
magnitude
At t2 = 0.2um, leakage into silicon substrate is stronger
Increased oxide thickness reduces the attenuation due to radiation leakage

Re(N) and the attenuation of the TE0 mode for the structure
E-Field profile @ t2 = 0.5um
E-Field profile @ t2 = 0.2um

Analysis to determine SOI(3) Re(N) and the attenuation of the TE0 mode for the structure
E-Field profile @ t2 = 0.4um
E-Field profile @ t2 = 0.2um t3=0.4
Re(N) ≈ 3.28 for t2 > 0.2um, 1dB/cm attenuation
Acceptable level of attenuation can be obtained for oxide thickness using SIMOX technology

Analysis to determine SOI(4)
Analyzed TM mode and higher-order TE mode
rather high loss for these modesHigh-mode-power attenuation associated with
TM mode (TM0 is 2 orders of higher than TE0)Other loss mehanisms can be minimized or
eliminated by proper processing proceduresImplantation damage can be reduced or
removed by annealing
