ABSTRACT

Silicon (Si), the second most abundant element on earth, is one of the key componentsofcontemporaryadvancedmicroelectroniccircuits.Onthe otherhand,moderncomplementarymetaloxidesemiconductor(CMOS) technologyhasalsoenabledittobeanidealplatformforsomeoptoelectronicapplications,primarilypassivecomponents.Incomparablybetter purity and defect density plus much more mature fabrication over its compoundsemiconductor(CS)counterpartsallowSiwaveguidestodemonstrate
