    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method including the following steps: a) forming a waveguide from a first material, the waveguide being configured to guide an optical signal; b) forming a layer made of a second material that is electrically conductive and transparent to a wavelength of the optical signal, steps a) and b) being implemented such that the layer made of the second material is in contact with at least one of the faces of the waveguide, or is separated from the at least one of the faces by a distance of less than half, preferably less than a quarter, of the wavelength of the optical signal. The application further relates to a phase modulator, in particular obtained by such a method.

    Abstract: A method of fabricating an optical structure comprises providing a layer of single crystal crystalline silicon supported on an insulating surface of a silicon substrate; using etching to remove part of the silicon layer and define a side wall which is non-parallel to the insulating surface of the substrate; forming a layer of insulating material over the side wall; forming a further layer of silicon over at least the insulating material; and removing the silicon of the further layer to a level of the layer of silicon such that the layer of insulating material occupies a slot between a portion of silicon in the layer and a portion of silicon in the further layer, a thickness of the layer of insulating material defining a width of the slot.

    Abstract: The performances of a semiconductor device are improved. The semiconductor device includes an insulation layer, an optical waveguide part formed over the insulation layer, and including a p type semiconductor region and an n type semiconductor region formed therein, and an interlayer insulation film formed over the insulation layer in such a manner as to cover the optical waveguide part. At the first portion of the optical waveguide part, in a cross sectional view perpendicular to the direction of extension of the optical waveguide part, the n type semiconductor region is arranged at the central part of the optical waveguide part, and the p type semiconductor region is arranged in such a manner as to surround the entire circumference of the n type semiconductor region.
