Abstract: An optical waveguide termination device includes a waveguide and metal vias surrounding an end portion of the waveguide. The end portion of the waveguide has a transverse cross-sectional area that decreases towards its distal end. The metal vias are orthogonal to a same plane, with the same plane being orthogonal to the transverse cross-section. The metal vias absorb light originating from the end portion when a light signal propagates through the waveguide, and the metal vias and the end portion provide that an effective index of an optical mode to be propagated through the waveguide progressively varies in the end portion. Additional metal vias may be present along the waveguide upstream of the end portion, with the additional metal vias bordering the waveguide upstream of the end portion providing that the effective index of an optical mode to be propagated through the waveguide varies progressively toward the end portion.

Abstract: A photodiode includes an active area formed by intrinsic germanium. The active area is located within a cavity formed in a silicon layer. The cavity is defined by opposed side walls which are angled relative to a direction perpendicular to a bottom surface of the silicon layer. The angled side walls support epitaxial growth of the intrinsic germanium with minimal lattice defects.

Abstract: A vertical photodiode includes an active area. The contacting pads for the diode terminals are laterally shifted away from the active area so as to not be located above or below the active area. The active area is formed in a layer of semiconductor material by a lower portion of a germanium area that is intrinsic and an upper portion of the germanium area that is doped with a first conductivity type. The vertical photodiode is optically coupled to a waveguide formed in the layer of semiconductor material.

Abstract: A photonic system includes a first photonic circuit having a first face and a second photonic circuit having a second face. The first photonic circuit comprises first wave guides, and, for each first wave guide, a second wave guide covering the first wave guide, the second wave guides being in contact with the first face and placed between the first face and the second face, the first wave guides being located on the side of the first face opposite the second wave guides. The second photonic circuit comprises, for each second wave guide, a third wave guide covering the second wave guide. The first photonic circuit comprises first positioning devices projecting from the first face and the second photonic circuit comprises second positioning devices projecting from the second face, at least one of the first positioning devices abutting one of the second positioning devices in a first direction.
