Abstract: Embodiments herein describe providing a decoupling capacitor on a first wafer (or substrate) that is then bonded to a second wafer to form an integrated decoupling capacitor. Using wafer bonding means that the decoupling capacitor can be added to the second wafer without having to take up space in the second wafer. In one embodiment, after bonding the first and second wafers, one or more vias are formed through the second wafer to establish an electrical connection between the decoupling capacitor and bond pads on a first surface of the second wafer. An electrical IC can then be flip chipped bonded to the first surface. As part of coupling the decoupling capacitor to the electrical IC, the decoupling capacitor is connected between the rails of a power source (e.g., VDD and VSS) that provides power to the electrical IC.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe reverse biasing one or more PIN junctions formed in at least one layer of a PSR. The resulting electric fields in the PIN junctions overlap with the optical path of the optical signal and sweep away photo-generated hole-electron free carriers away. That is, the electric fields in the PIN junctions remove the free carriers from the path of the optical signal and reduces the population of the free carriers, thereby mitigating the negative impact of free-carrier absorption (FCA).

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an optical system and method of operating the optical system. The optical system includes a substrate and first and second photonic integrated circuits. The first photonic integrated circuit is positioned on the substrate. The second photonic integrated circuit is positioned on the first photonic integrated circuit. The second photonic integrated circuit receives a first optical signal that includes a first mode and a second mode. The second photonic integrated circuit includes a polarization splitter rotator, a first demultiplexer, and a second demultiplexer. The polarization splitter rotator separates the first optical signal into a second optical with the first mode and a third optical signal with the first mode. The first and second demultiplexers separate the second and third optical signals into first and second pluralities of optical signals. The first and second pluralities of optical signals couple into the first photonic integrated circuit.

Abstract: A liquid cooling system with a reverse bias system is described. The reverse bias system serves several functions, including monitoring a corrosion in the liquid cooling system as well as providing a reverse bias voltage to reduce a galvanic current in the system and to prevent corrosion in the liquid cooling system. The reverse bias system in the liquid cooling system allows for heterogeneous usage of metallic materials, which results in a lighter weight and easier to fabricate liquid cooling system.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe using a double wafer bonding process to form a photonic device. In one embodiment, during the bonding process, an optical element (e.g., a high precision optical element) is optically coupled to an optical device in an active surface layer. In one example, the optical element comprises a nitride layer which can be patterned to form a nitride waveguide, passive optical multiplexer or demultiplexer, or an optical coupler.

Abstract: A method includes defining a first waveguide in a first region of an optical device over a first dielectric layer over a silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate of the optical device and disposing a second dielectric layer on the first waveguide and the first dielectric layer of the optical device. The method also includes defining a second region on the second dielectric layer, the first dielectric layer, and the SOI substrate. The second region includes an integrated trench structure defined in the SOI substrate. The method further includes etching the second region to form an etched second region, disposing a third dielectric layer in the etched second region, and disposing a second waveguide on at least the third dielectric layer. The second waveguide is disposed to provide an optical coupling between the second waveguide and the first waveguide.
