Patent ID: 11112624

Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a first insulating layer, an optical waveguide, a first slab portion, a second insulating layer, and a conductive layer. The optical waveguide is formed on the first insulating layer and has a first side surface and a second side surface. The first slab portion is adjacent to the first side surface. The second insulating layer is formed on the optical waveguide. The conductive layer is formed on the second insulating layer. The optical waveguide has a first conductivity type. The first slab portion has first portion, second portion and third portion. The first portion has a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type. The second portion is located farther from the optical waveguide than the first portion and has a first conductivity type. The third portion is formed between the optical waveguide and the second portion and has the first conductivity type.
