AbstractAn approximate method of modelling of Raman generation in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) rib waveguide with DBR/F-P resonator including spatial field distribution and nonlinear effects such as Raman amplification and two photon absorption (TPA), is developed. In threshold analysis of steady-state Raman laser operation, an analytical formula relating threshold pump power to the system parameters is obtained. The analysis of the above threshold operation is based on an energy theorem. In exact energy conservation relation, we approximate the Stokes field distributions by that existing at the threshold, whereas the approximate pump field distributions are obtained by integrating the equations for the pump signal using the linear (threshold) pump field distributions and the threshold Stokes field distributions. An approximate, semi-analytical expression related the Raman output power to the pump power and system parameters is derived. Our calculations remain in a good agreement with the exact numerical solutions.

Numerical analysis predicts that continuous-wave (CW) Raman lasing is possible in Silicon-On-insulator (SOI) nano-waveguides, despite of presence of free carrier absorption. The scope of this paper lies on lasers for communication systems around 1550 nm wavelength. Two types of waveguide structures Strip and Rib waveguides have been incorporated. The waveguide structures have designed to be 220 nm in height. Three different widths of (350, 450, 1000) nm were studied. The dependence of lasing of the SOI Raman laser on effective carrier lifetime was discussed, produced by tow photon absorption. At telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm, Raman lasing threshold was calculated to be 1.7 mW in Rib SOI waveguide with dimensions width (W= 450 nm) and Length (L= 25 mm). The obtained Raman lasing is the lowest reported value at relatively high reflectivities. Raman laser in SOI nano-waveguides presents the important step towards integrated on-chip optoelectronic devices.

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures have excellent potential for future use in radiation hardened and high speed integrated circuits. For device fabrication in SOI material a high quality superficial Si layer above a buried oxide layer is required. Recently, Celler et al. reported that post-implantation annealing of oxygen implanted SOI at very high temperatures would eliminate virtually all defects and precipiates in the superficial Si layer. In this work we are reporting on the effect of three different post implantation annealing cycles on the structure of oxygen implanted SOI samples which were implanted under the same conditions.

Porous semiconductors represent a relatively new class of materials formed by the selective etching of a single or polycrystalline substrate. Although porous silicon has received considerable attention due to its novel optical properties1, porous layers can be formed in other semiconductors such as GaAs and GaP. These materials are characterised by very high surface area and by electrical, optical and chemical properties that may differ considerably from bulk. The properties depend on the pore morphology, which can be controlled by adjusting the processing conditions and the dopant concentration. A number of novel structures can be fabricated using selective etching. For example, self-supporting membranes can be made by growing pores through a wafer, films with modulated pore structure can be fabricated by varying the applied potential during growth, composite structures can be prepared by depositing a second phase into the pores and silicon-on-insulator structures can be formed by oxidising a buried porous layer. In all these applications the ability to grow nanostructures controllably is critical.

The formation of buried oxide structures in single crystal silicon by high-dose oxygen ion implantation has received considerable attention recently for applications in advanced electronic device fabrication. This process is performed in a vacuum, and under the proper implantation conditions results in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structure with a top single crystal silicon layer on an amorphous silicon dioxide layer. The top Si layer has the same orientation as the silicon substrate. The quality of the outermost portion of the Si top layer is important in device fabrication since it either can be used directly to build devices, or epitaxial Si may be grown on this layer. Therefore, careful characterization of the results of the ion implantation process is essential.

As semiconductor device dimensions shrink and packing-densities rise, issues of parasitic capacitance and circuit speed become increasingly important. The use of thin-film silicon-on-insulator (TFSOI) substrates for device fabrication is being explored in order to increase switching speeds. One version of TFSOI being explored for device fabrication is SIMOX (Silicon-separation by Implanted OXygen).A buried oxide layer is created by highdose oxygen implantation into silicon wafers followed by annealing to cause coalescence of oxide regions into a continuous layer. A thin silicon layer remains above the buried oxide (~220 nm Si after additional thinning). Device structures can now be fabricated upon this thin silicon layer.Current fabrication of metal-oxidesemiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) requires formation of a polysilicon/oxide gate between source and drain regions. Contact to the source/drain and gate regions is typically made by use of TiSi2 layers followedby Al(Cu) metal lines. TiSi2 has a relatively low contact resistance and reduces the series resistance of both source/drain as well as gate regions
