Abstract
The influence of the charge state of ion implantation induced defects in SOI waveguides on the absorption of sub bandgap wavelengths is described. It is found that waveguides pre-doped with boron absorb with significantly greater efficiency than those pre-doped with phosphorus. Following annealing at 300o°C this difference is approximately 8dBcm-1, while the intrinsic loss of the waveguides is limited to 2dBcm-1. These results have significant ramifications for a number of integrated optical devices fabricated in silicon. © 2008 IEEE.
