Abstract

Provided is an optical modulator including an optical waveguide and an optical modulation part integrated on the optical waveguide that is clad in oxide silicon and has silicon as core by using a bulk silicon wafer in place of an silicon-on-insulator (SOI) used for a typical optical waveguide and optical modulator and using complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and thermal oxide film formation processes, and a fabrication method thereof.
