Research abstract
WE PROPOSE A NOVEL METHOD FOR PROVIDING OPTICAL MODULATOR PADS ON SILICON VLST CIRCUITS. OUR TECHNIQUE SHOULD ENABLE MODULATOR PAD ARRAYS OF NEARLY ARBITRARY CONFIGURATION, WITH MINIMUM PAD GEOMETRIES OF A FEW MICRONS SQUARE. MODULATOR RESPONSE TIMES LESS THAN 1 ns SHOULD BE ACHIEVED. THE TECHNIQUE REQUIRES ONLY A FEW PROCESS STEPS AND WILL WORK ON CIRCUITS MADE IN ANY STANDARD VLSI PROCESS.
