This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multibeam interference lithography is investigated as a manufacturing technique for three-dimensional photonic crystal templates. In this research, optimization of the optical setup and the photoresist initiation system leads to a significant improvement of the optical quality of the crystal, as characterized by normal incidence optical spectroscopy. Theoretical spectra are calculated and demonstrate close agreement with experimental values, indicating that this fabrication process achieves excellent optical quality. X-ray microscopy provides non-destructive inspection of the fabricated crystals at nano-scale resolution. A reconstructed crystal model is generated by computed tomography which allows for comparison to a predicted structure's geometry and optical spectra. Using the polymer crystal as a template, electrodeposition is performed to completely infiltrate the crystal with Cu2O. After polymer removal the inverted Cu2O crystal exhibits a high peak reflectance at the predicted wavelength, indicating the structure is an exact inverse of the template. A conformal growth algorithm is developed for the commonly used chemical vapor deposition infiltration technique to explain growth results and verified experimentally with atomic layer deposition of oxide materials. Finally, a customized chemically amplified positive photoresist system and its processing steps are developed as a route to zero-shrinkage template material for high fidelity patterning of the designed interference patterns.

Download or read book Multi beam interference based Methodology for the Fabrication of Photonic Crystal Structures written by Justin L. Stay and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A variety of techniques are available to enable the fabrication of photonic crystal structures. Multi-beam-interference lithography (MBIL) is a relatively new technique which offers many advantages over more traditional means of fabrication. Unlike the more common fabrication methods such as optical and electron-beam lithography, MBIL is a method that can produce both two- and three-dimensional large-area photonic crystal structures for use in the infrared and visible light regimes. While multi-beam-interference lithography represents a promising methodology for the fabrication of PC structures, there has been an incomplete understanding of MBIL itself. The research in this thesis focuses on providing a more complete, systematic description of MBIL in order to demonstrate its full capabilities.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, we study the use of a spatial light modulator (SLM) for local manipulation of phase in interfering laser beams to fabricate photonic crystal templates with embedded, engineered defects. A SLM displaying geometric phase patterns was used as a digitally programmable phase mask to fabricate 4-fold and 6-fold symmetric photonic crystal templates. Through pixel-by-pixel phase engineering, digital control of the phases of one or more of the interfering beams was demonstrated, thus allowing change in the interference pattern. The phases of the generated beams were programmed at specific locations, resulting in defect structures in the fabricated photonic lattices such as missing lattice line defects, and single-motif lattice defects in dual-motif lattice background. The diffraction efficiency from the phase pattern was used to locally modify the filling fraction in holographically fabricated structures, resulting in defects with a different fill fraction than the bulk lattice. Through two steps of phase engineering, a spatially variant lattice defect with a 90° bend in a periodic bulk lattice was fabricated. Finally, by reducing the relative phase shift of the defect line and utilizing the different diffraction efficiency between the defect line and the background phase pattern, desired and functional defect lattices can be registered into the background lattice through direct imaging of the designed phase patterns.

This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, the realization of chip-scale optical interconnects has been inhibited by the lack of a device technology that can provide optical functionality at a scale commensurate with integrated circuits. To overcome this limitation, I propose the realization of an "optical superhighway" as an alternative interconnect paradigm for next-generation integrated circuits using semiconductor-based photonic-crystal (PhC) devices. PhCs have the potential to be the elementary building blocks of the next generation of opto-electronic devices and integrated circuits. This potential has invigorated global research interest in hybrid optical-electrical interconnects at the chip scale. In this thesis, I will present the development of such Nano-Photonic Crystal (PhC) interconnects using conventional CMOS fabrication technology, thereby enabling photonic functionality on the VLSI scale. Accordingly, I will discuss the fabrication of high fill-factor planar PhC devices on silicon-on-insulator substrates, using both capacitively coupled and inductively coupled plasma etching. Functional, sub-100-nm, high-aspect-ratio PhC devices will be presented, along with the technical challenges encountered in their realization. Also, a robust etch-process toolbox has been developed that, in addition to realizing chip-scale optical interconnects, also paves the way for applications in other technology niches like MEMS, terahertz devices, nanophotonics and microfluidics, to be realized in a single silicon platform, thus enabling systems-on-a-chip. In-plane optical routing in ultra-thin silicon-on-sapphire is also explored as part of this investigation. In addition, I will discuss the development of a sub-surface silicon optical bus (S3B), a buried silicon optical interconnect technology. The approach relies on engineering the dispersion properties of three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals embedded in silicon to control light propagation. In particular, a novel method of fabricating buried 3D photonic-crystal structures using conventional planar silicon micromachining will be presented. This method utilizes a single planar etch mask and time-multiplexed etch process along with sidewall oxidation to create an array of spherical voids with three-dimensional symmetry. Preliminary results will be presented to support the feasibility of realizing chip-scale optical interconnects using the proposed approach. The results of this research will not only help realize a new generation of optical integrated circuits, but also provide a solution to the global interconnect delay anticipated in next-generation of high-end integrated circuits. These PhC devices could very well provide the building blocks for the integrated circuits of the future.
