  2. 6. The silicon nitride reaction-bonding process

    Author : Bingqiang Lei; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Material Mechanics; Materialmekanik;

    Abstract : The so called Reaction-Bonded Silicon Nitride (RBSN) materials are usually produced through the chemical reaction of silicon powder compacts in a nitriding atmosphere. This nitriding reaction is strongly exothermic and much heat is generated, which may cause to overheating, even melting of the powder compacts so to hinder the further reaction due to the reduction of specific area of the powder compacts, especially when the nitridation involves a rather large mass of silicon.

  6. 9. Design and Characterization of SiN-based integrated optical components for Wavelength Division Multiplexing

    Author : Alexander Caut; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crosstalk; silicon nitride.; Mach-Zehnder interferometers; polarization; grating couplers; insertion loss; power splitters; arrayed waveguide gratings; silicon photonics;

    Abstract : To follow the trend of the data traffic and to limit the size of the hyperscale data centers, communication solutions offering small footprint, low cost and low power consumption are needed. Optical interconnects used in data centers are mostly short reach (approximately 100 m) based on GaAs-based 850 nm vertical-cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and OM4 multimode fibers (MMF).

  7. 10. Integrated Nonlinear Optics in Silicon Nitride Waveguides

    Author : Clemens Krückel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; integrated optics devices; nonlinear optics materials; four-wave mixing; nonlinear optical signal processing; wavelength conversion devices; nanostructure fabrication;

    Abstract : Current nanofabrication techniques allow patterning of optical waveguides with submicron cores. This results in strong confinement of light, which leads to high optical intensities. READ MORE
