Abstract
An optoelectronic device comprising an optical waveguide formed in a silicon device layer of a silicon-on-insulator wafer. The optical waveguide including a semiconductor junction comprising a first doped region of semiconductor material and a second doped region of semiconductor material. The second doped region containing dopants of a different species to the first doped region. A first portion of the first doped region extends horizontally on top of the second doped region, a second portion of the first doped region extends vertically along a lateral side of the second doped region and a third portion of the first doped region protrudes as a salient from the first or second portion of the first doped region into the second doped region.
