Semiconductor device with waveguide structure and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: forming a first waveguide structure and a second waveguide structure on a substrate in which the first waveguide structure and the second waveguide structure is spaced apart from each other by a recess; conformally forming an un-doped dielectric layer to cover the first and second waveguide structures and to form a gap between two corresponding portions of the un-doped dielectric layer laterally covering the first waveguide structure and the second waveguide structure, respectively; and forming a doped filling layer to fill the gap.
