Micro-Raman scattering experiments have been carried out to study a SiGe/Si photoelastic optical channel waveguide structure. A Si3N4 stressor stripe was fabricated on a SiGe/Si planar waveguide to create local stress variation beneath the stripe. To characterize the local stress distributions which create the channel waveguide structure, we obtained Si–Si Raman peak shifts in the SiGe layer by utilizing spatially resolved Raman spectra both from the top surface across the width of the Si3N4 stripe and from an edge (i.e., a waveguiding region) beneath the stripe. Longitudinal optical phonon shifts observed from the top surface show a significant increase in compressive stress within the stripe width and in tensile stress just outside of stripe edges for a sample annealed at 600 °C. To map local changes of stresses in the waveguiding region beneath the stripe, spectra from two transverse optical phonons were measured from the edge and interpreted using the Raman polarization selection rules. The Si–Si Rama...
