Abstract
The present disclosure provides a semiconductor device, a photonic circuit, and a method for adjusting a resonant wavelength of an optical modulator. The semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first waveguide disposed on the substrate, and a second waveguide disposed on the substrate and spaced apart from the first waveguide with a first distance. In addition, the second waveguide includes a first electrical coupling portion having a first type doping, a second electrical coupling portion having a second type doping, and an optical coupling portion disposed between the first electrical coupling portion and the second electrical coupling portion, wherein the second waveguide is configured to receive a first voltage through the first electrical coupling portion and the second electrical coupling portion to decrease a resonant wavelength of the second waveguide.
