Abstract

This chapter reviews the fundamentals of the silicon on insulator (SOI) technology due to its advantages. The chapter starts with an introduction to the SOI followed by the different waveguides based on the SOI technology and their advantages. Further, the novel platforms that have been recently emerging beside the SOI are also presented. Finally, various fabrication processes for performing the SOI wafer are introduced in more detail.
