    Abstract

    This work demonstrates the fabrication of a silicon-based electrical source for surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at low temperatures using silicon nanocrystal doped alumina within a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide geometry. The fabrication method uses established microtechnology processes that are compatible with backend CMOS technology. The fabricated device suggests a route forward towards high density, active plasmonic circuits that are integrated with silicon microelectronics.
