Analysis of Si substrate damage induced by inductively coupled plasma reactor with various superposed bias frequencies

TL;DR: In this article, two different bias powers were utilized by an inductively coupled plasma reactor (ICP) and the surface layer and the interfacial layer between the SL and Si substrate (IL) were analyzed by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), photoreflectance spectroscopy (PR) and capacitancevoltage (C-V) measurement.

An all-silicon, single-mode Bragg cladding rib waveguide

TL;DR: A direct method of fabricating an all-silicon, single-mode Bragg cladding rib waveguide using proton beam irradiation and subsequent electrochemical etching is demonstrated, offering a method for monolithic integration of Bragg waveguides in silicon, without the need for multiple processes of depositing alternating materials.

On the effective medium model for particles with a complex structure

TL;DR: In this article, a generalization of the effective medium approximation to the case of matrices containing macroscopically inhomogeneous particles with an arbitrary structure (cermet topology) was considered, and the form of the result was determined to a considerable extent by the heuristic choice of effective cells used to estimate the field and induction values averaged over the volume.

Investigation of effective-medium models of microscopic surface roughness by spectroscopic ellipsometry

TL;DR: In this article, Bruggeman and Maxwell Garnett showed that the dielectric properties of microscopically rough layers of thicknesses 100-500 \AA{}A are accurately modeled in the effective medium approximation.
