ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device is provided that includes an optical cavity that is designed to provide a prescribed resonant optical wavelength. The optical cavity includes a mirror structure deposited on top of a substrate and a multi-layer region such as an electroabsorptive region, for example, deposited over the mirror structure. A partial antireflective coating is deposited over the multi-layer region. The mirror structure and the multilayer region have a thickness variation sufficient to yield a resonant optical wavelength that deviates from the prescribed resonant wavelength. The partial antireflective coating has a non-uniform thickness variation that causes the resonant optical wavelength to shift substantially toward the prescribed resonant optical wavelength.
