Abstract: Structures including a cavity adjacent to an edge coupler and methods of forming such structures. The structure comprises a semiconductor substrate including a cavity with a sidewall, a dielectric layer on the semiconductor substrate, and an edge coupler on the dielectric layer. The structure further comprises a fill region including a plurality of fill features adjacent to the edge coupler. The fill region includes a reference marker at least partially surrounded by the plurality of fill features, and the reference marker has a perimeter that surrounds a surface area of the dielectric layer, and the surface area overlaps with a portion of the sidewall of the cavity.

Abstract: Structures for a photonics chip that include a photonic component and methods of forming such structures. The structure may comprise a photodetector on a substrate and a waveguide core. The photodetector includes a light-absorbing layer having a longitudinal axis, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall adjoined to the first sidewall at an interior angle. The first sidewall is slanted relative to the longitudinal axis, and the second sidewall is oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis. The waveguide core includes a tapered section adjacent to the first sidewall and the second sidewall of the light-absorbing layer.
