Effect of carrier lifetime on forward-biased silicon Mach-Zehnder modulators
Summary
Summary
We present a systematic study of Mach-Zehnder silicon optical modulators based on carrier-injection. Detailed comparisons between modeling and measurement results are made with good agreement obtained for both DC and AC characteristics. A figure of merit, static VpiL, as low as 0.24Vmm is achieved. The effect of carrier lifetime variation...
All silicon infrared photodiodes: photo response and effects of processing temperature
Summary
Summary
CMOS compatible infrared waveguide Si photodiodes are made responsive from 1100 to 1750 nm by Si+ implantation and annealing. This article compares diodes fabricated using two annealing temperatures, 300 and 475C. 0.25-mm-long diodes annealed to 300C have a response to 1539 nm radiation of 0.1 A W-1 at a reverse...
