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: An optical waveguide structure includes a rotator having a dual-layer core. A first layer of the dual-layer core may include a tapering portion. A second layer of the dual-layer core may include a rib portion disposed on the tapering portion. The combination of the rib portion and the tapering portion may receive a pair of optical signals, one being polarized in a TE mode and the other being polarized in a TM mode, and convert them to a pair of TE mode optical signals.

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.
