ECE 2251 - MICRO AND NANO DEVICE FABRICATION LABORATORY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
The goal of this course is to enable students to design basic photonic integrated circuits by providing them with an intuitive understanding of core photonic components (e.g. waveguides, couplers, resonators, etc.) as well as a solid grasp of the tools needed to simulate multi-component designs. By the end of the course, students should understand the steps needed to take a PIC design from original concept to fabrication at a foundry. This includes such topics as: on-chip filtering/routing using ring resonators and Bragg gratings; methods for optimizing bandwidth and on/off-chip coupling efficiency using edge and grating couplers; integrated high-speed silicon PN modulator design and optimization; integrated high-speed germanium PIN photodetector design and optimization; full photonic circuit simulation using the S-parameter method.
