Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a semiconductor structure comprising a waveguide. The waveguide has an input region and an output region. The input region is configured to receive light. The waveguide comprises a lower doped structure comprising a first doping type and a plurality of doped pillar structures disposed within the lower doped structure. The doped pillar structures comprise a second doping type opposite the first doping type. The doped pillar structures extend from a top surface of the lower doped structure to a point below the top surface of the lower doped structure.
