[0163] When the ratio of the hole density to the electron density is 100%, it means that the doping level of the p-type semiconductor region 12a is equal to the doping level of the n-type semiconductor region 12b. Such doping is called symmetric doping. When the ratio of the hole density to the electron density is 50%, it means that the doping level of the p-type semiconductor region 12a is 1 / 2 of the doping level of the n-type semiconductor region 12b. Such doping is called asymmetric doping.

Abstract

A boundary surface (12S) which divides a rib (12) of a rib-slab type core (11) into a p-type semiconductor region (12a) and an n-type semiconductor region (12b) is constituted by a first flat surface (S1) serving as a junction surface of a first lateral p-n junction (J1), a second flat surface (S2) serving as a junction surface of a vertical p-n junction (J2), and a third flat surface (S3) serving as a junction surface of a second lateral p-n junction (J3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor optical waveguide formed with a core having a p-type semiconductor region and an n-type semiconductor region. In addition, it relates to a semiconductor optical modulator including such a semiconductor optical waveguide, and a semiconductor optical modulation system including such a semiconductor optical modulator. Background technique [0002] A semiconductor optical waveguide having a core made of a semiconductor (for example, silicon) is known. In addition, it is known that a semiconductor optical waveguide formed with a core having a p-type semiconductor region and an n-type semiconductor region functions as a phase modulator that phase-modulates light in the vicinity of a junction surface of a pn junction. The phase of the light propagating near the junction surface of the pn junction is modulated by a modulation voltage, which is an external voltage applied to both ends of the pn junction. Such a...
