Silicon Substrates With Buried Distributed Bragg Reflectors for Resonant Cavity-Enhanced Optoelectronics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a commercially reproducible silicon wafer with a high-reflectance buried distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The substrate consists of a two-period DBR fabricated using a double silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process. The buried DBR provides a 90% reflecting surface. We have fabricated resonant cavity-enhanced Si photodetectors with 40% quantum efficiency at 860 nm and a full-width at half-maximum of 29 ps suitable for 10 Gbps data communications. We have also implemented double-SOI substrates with 90% reflectivity covering 1300 and 1550 nm for use in Si-based optoelectronics.

We propose a silicon Fabry–Perot planar waveguide modulator structure consisting of two Bragg reflectors to form the cavity. The Bragg reflectors are nanoscale trenches in the waveguide fabricated using electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching. Compared to conventional waveguide modulator designs, large modulation depth can be achieved with much smaller modulator length using high-fin...

We propose and demonstrate a novel device structure of resonant cavity-enhanced photodetector (RCE-PD). The new RCE-PD structure consists of a bottom distributed Bragg reflector (DBR), a cavity with InGaAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) for light absorption and a top mirror of sub-wavelength grating. By changing the fill factor of the 2-D grating, the effective cavity length of RCE-PDs can be va...
