Abstract
A method for monolithically integrating semiconductor waveguides, photodetectors and logic devices, i.e., field effect transistors, on a same substrate is provided. The method includes the use of a double semiconductor-on-insulator substrate that includes from bottom to top, a handle substrate, a first insulator layer, a first semiconductor material layer, a second insulator layer, and a second semiconductor material layer. The waveguides, photodetectors and logic devices can be formed in different regions of the substrate and are present atop a first insulator layer of the double semiconductor-on-insulator substrate.
