Abstract:
Disclosed are process enhancements to fully integrate the processing of a photonics device into a CMOS manufacturing process flow. A CMOS wafer may be divided into different portions. One of the portions is for the CMOS devices and one or more other portions are for the photonics devices. The photonics devices include a ridged waveguide and a germanium photodetector. The germanium photodetector may utilize a seeded crystallization from melt process so there is more flexibility in the processing of the germanium photodetector.
