Abstract
According one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a silicon photonics-based optical modulation device having two metal layers. The optical modulation device includes a phase shifter, a ground unit, and a pad unit. The phase shifter includes a first signal electrode, a second signal electrode, and at least two ground electrodes formed in a first metal layer. The phase shifter includes two silicon optical waveguides. The ground unit is formed in a second metal layer different from the first metal layer. The pad unit is formed in the second metal layer, provided with a first local area electrically connected to the ground unit, and electrically connected to the first signal electrode and the second signal electrode via a second local area thereof electrically isolated from the ground unit.
