Abstract

This thesis is about optimizing the performance of PIPIN carrier depletion optical modulator in Silicon on Insulator (SOI) using Taguchi method. The applied voltage is in reverse biased and working at 1.55μm wavelength. The ATHENA and ATLAS software from SILVACO Int was used to design the PIPIN optical modulator. In Taguchi method, the L9 orthogonal array was used to find the optimum factors and levels. The three selected factors are concentration of doping, applied voltage and energy. The parameter that the optimum device are concentration of doping is 5e21cm-3, voltage is -2.94V and energy is 10eV. Then, the most significant factors that affect the modulators performance are the concentration of doping with 64.65%.
