Wafer-Scale Variability In Photonic Devices & Effects On Circuits

popularity

A technical paper titled “Capturing the Effects of Spatial Process Variations in Silicon Photonic Circuits” was published by researchers at Photonics Research Group, Ghent University−IMEC.

“We present in this paper a method to extract a granular map of the line width and thickness variation on a silicon photonics wafer. We propose a hierarchical model to separate the layout-dependent and location-dependent systematic process variation from the random process variation on different spatial levels,” states the paper.
