It is often the case that a design of experiments (DOE) is required to optimize the performance of a particular device.  Sometimes this simply means tweaking the implant dose for threshold voltage or other minor adjustments, but in other cases it can mean tweaking such things as high energy deep well implants.

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are a key enabling technology for a broad range of current and next-generation products. Combining semiconductor materials and manufacturing processes common to microelectronics with the encoding, transmission and detection of light, PICs are transforming communication in datacenters by bringing bandwidth closer to compute cores, and are accelerating emerging applications like LiDAR for autonomy and quantum computing for the future of information processing.
