In this presentation, we present the process development of a nanocavity-based Raman silicon laser fabricated using a CMOS compatible process. We have reported the findings that the impurities that penetrated to a depth of about 10 nm from the side walls of the air holes during plasma etching, lowered the Q factor of the cavity. Here we report that this impurity can be removed by a simple chemical treatment.
