From design and simulation, to testing and fabrication, Silicon Photonics Design provides a hands-on introduction to silicon photonics. An in-depth discussion of real-world issues and fabrication challenges ensures that students are fully equipped for careers in the industry. Step-by-step tutorials, straightforward examples, and illustrative source code fragments guide students through each aspect of the design process, providing a practical framework for developing and refining key skills.
The text supports existing PDKs for CMOS UV-lithography foundry services (OpSIS, ePIXfab, imec, LETI, IME, and CMC) and the development of new kits for proprietary processes and clean-room based research. Accompanied by additional online resources to support students, this book provides the perfect learning package for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying silicon photonics design. Academic and industrial researchers involved in the development and manufacturing process of new silicon photonics systems will also benefit from this text.
MATLAB is used to solve application examples in the book and the code is available for download on the book's supplemental website.
