The impact of low-order mode operation in silicon integrated waveguides on the performance of Y-splitters with a rib geometry, fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform, is investigated. It is demonstrated that the TE10 mode, emerging when a standard 500x 220 nm channel silicon waveguide is overgrown with silicon oxide, significantly alters the Y-splitter characteristics. As a result, the splitting ratio becomes dependent on the relative alignment between the optical fiber delivering light to the photonic integrated circuit and the input coupling structure. Keywords: rib waveguides, channel waveguides, integrated splitters.
