Course Philosophy This course offered is a highly compressed design cycle only 4 weeks of design, as opposed to 6-12 months typical in silicon photonics foundry fabrication. The philosophy is that a participant should see the complete design cycle first, and as quickly as possible. Once familiar with the tools, techniques, challenges, limitations, and opportunities, the participant will be in a much stronger position to dedicate more time for a complex design. Course Details This short course teaches participants (industry professionals, academics) how to design passive silicon photonic devices using analytic and advanced numerical techniques. Your designs will be fabricated by a state-of-the-art rapid-prototyping 100 kev Electron-Beam Lithography (EBL) facility (University of Washington Washington Nanofabrication Facility, USA, and/or Applied Nanotools Inc. Canada). All designs will be tested using an automated optical probe station (University of British Columbia, Canada) and the data provided to the participants. You will then analyze your experimental data. This short course is a highly compressed version of the SiEPIC CMC Passive Silicon Photonics Fabrication workshop several hours versus 6 days of instruction; a seven-week versus a one-year design-fabricate-test cycle; and a total minimum time commitment of only 20 hours. 1
2 The focus of this course is a design project, guided by lectures, tutorials and activities. As a first-time designer, you will design an interferometer, which is a widely used device in many applications such as communications (modulation, switching) and sensing. Specifically, it is Mach-Zehnder Interferometer, consisting of fibre grating couplers, two splitters, and optical waveguides. For advanced designers, this course is an opportunity to design many other devices, such as directional couplers; ring, racetrack and disk resonators; Bragg gratings, including grating assisted contra-directional couplers; photonic crystals; multi-mode interference (MMI) couplers; arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG); polarization diversity components; mode-division multiplexing (MDM) components and circuits; and novel waveguides such as sub-wavelength grating (SWG) waveguides and slot waveguides. During the course, you will 1. Learn the operating principles of the silicon photonic interferometer. The example we use is a Mach-Zehnder interferometer consisting of two fibre grating couplers, two Y-branch splitters, and optical waveguides. 2. Model the optical waveguide using a mode solver to determine the wavelength-dependent effective index and propagation constant. These parameters will be used in the circuit model. 3. Model a silicon photonic optical circuit using a compact model approach. We will simulate the optical transmission spectrum of the circuit (transmission versus wavelength), for several substrate temperatures. 4. Design photonic components and circuits, e.g., interferometer. Identify design parameter variations. 5. Create and submit a layout for fabrication. Learn the fabrication design rules, automated testing constraints, and design submission details. 6. Understand how silicon photonic devices are fabricated and the manufacturing challenges, including, variability, impact on devices/circuits and computational lithography models. Learn how to design for variability through the use of corner and Monte-Carlo analysis. 7. Conduct a design review on three other peoples' designs, and receive feedback. 8. Receive measurement data from fabricated devices. Analyze the data to extract parameters from the measurements and compare with models. Report on your design results. Comments about the fabrication You will have four weeks to complete your design. You will use an online tool to conduct design reviews of your peers. Your layouts will be merged onto a single chip and fabricated. The design file for the entire chip is shared with the group. All designs will be tested using an automated silicon photonic probe station Measurement results (e.g., 10,000 point spectra centered at 1550 nm) will be provided. Fabrication details: Silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer with 220 nm silicon thickness Single full-etch, 82º sidewall angle, and minimum isolated feature size of 60 nm. More details at R. Bojko, et al., JVSTB, Each participant will receive an area of 605 µm (width) X 410 µm (height), enough for >10 devices (more available on request). Basic components provided as a GDS library: focusing sub-wavelength grating couplers (TE or TM, 1550 nm), Y-Branch and other splitters, waveguides and routing, waveguide Bragg gratings, ring resonator, example layouts. Fabrication cost - included. 2
