requires a buried oxide (BOX) layer thickness on the order of 1 mmormore,whichis
substantially thicker than required for CMOS transistors. Thus, optically capable SOI
also requires an extended oxidation period during manufacturing, which adds cost to
the substrate as well as requiring nonstandard processing.

AND PERFORMANCE ON SOI
Waveguide type s in SOI technology can be divided into three classes, as illustrated
in Figure 11.3.
