Abstract
We report the scalable fabrication and characterization of photonic crystals (PhC) with feature sizes below 100 nm. In particular, we demonstrate antislot PhC nanobeam waveguides featuring hourglass-shaped unit cells that support enhanced light-matter interaction in silicon, and slotted PhC nanobeam waveguides that support enhanced light-matter interaction in air or other low refractive index media. These PhCs were fabricated using a monolithic silicon photonics technology at GlobalFoundries. Applications of deep subwavelength featured photonic crystals in optical modulators and biosensors will be discussed.
