    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to encapsulated optical devices and methods of forming optical devices with controllable air-gapped encapsulation. In one embodiment, a plurality of openings are formed in a support layer surrounding the plurality of optical device structures to create a high refractive index contrast between the optical device structures, the support layer, and the openings. In another embodiment, sacrificial material is disposed in-between the optical device structures and then an encapsulation layer is disposed on the optical device structures. The sacrificial material is removed, forming a space bounded by the encapsulation layer, the substrate, and each of the optical device structures. In yet another embodiment, the encapsulation layer is disposed over the optical device structures forming a space bounded by the encapsulation layer, the substrate, and each of the optical device structures.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to methods of forming a capacitor for DRAM. The method begins by preparing a substrate for forming the capacitor. A bottom electrode is formed on the top surface of the substrate. A dielectric layer is formed in contact with the bottom electrode. The material of the dielectric layer is one of a barium titanate, BaTiO3 (BTO) strontium titanate, SrTiO3 (STO), barium strontium titanate, BaSrTiO3 (BSTO), ZrSTO, ZrBTO, or ZrBSTO. A top electrode is formed on the dielectric layer and then a cap is formed on the top electrode.

    Abstract: An electro-optical waveguide modulator device includes a seed layer on a substrate, the seed layer having a first crystallographic plane aligned with a surface of the seed layer, an electro-optical channel extending in a first direction on the seed layer and having a second crystallographic plane aligned with the surface of the seed layer, an insulator layer on both sides of the electro-optical channel on the substrate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, an electrode barrier layer on the electro-optical channel and the insulator layer, and one or more of electrodes extending in the second direction. The seed layer and the insulator layer each comprise material having a refractive index that is lower than the electro-optical channel.
