摘要: Described herein are stacked photonic integrated circuit (PIC) assemblies that include multiple layers of waveguides. The waveguides are formed of substantially monocrystalline materials, which cannot be repeatedly deposited. Layers of monocrystalline material are fabricated and repeatedly transferred onto the PIC structure using a layer transfer process, which involves bonding a monocrystalline material using a non-monocrystalline bonding material. Layers of isolation materials are also deposited or layer transferred onto the PIC assembly.

摘要: A semiconductor device includes a photonic die and an optical die. The photonic die includes a grating coupler and an optical device. The optical device is connected to the grating coupler to receive radiation of predetermined wavelength incident on the grating coupler. The optical die is disposed over the photonic die and includes a substrate with optical nanostructures. Positions and shapes of the optical nanostructures are such to perform an optical transformation on the incident radiation of predetermined wavelength when the incident radiation passes through an area of the substrate where the optical nanostructures are located. The optical nanostructures overlie the grating coupler so that the incident radiation of predetermined wavelength crosses the optical die where the optical nanostructures are located before reaching the grating coupler.

摘要: A method of forming an optical bridge waveguide between an optical element and an optical waveguide layer fabricated on a substrate such as a PIC platform. An optical element is heterogeneously integrated on the substrate. A first dielectric layer is deposited on the substrate and etched to a predetermined height. A second dielectric layer having a higher k than the first dielectric layer is deposited on the first dielectric layer, and a third dielectric layer having a lower k than the second dielectric layer is deposited on the second dielectric layer. The dielectric layers are formed such that the second dielectric layer provides an optical bridge waveguide between the optical element and optical waveguide layer, with the first and third dielectric layers providing a lower and upper cladding, respectively, for the optical bridge waveguide.

摘要: A structure of a silicon photonics device for LIDAR includes a first insulating structure and a second insulating structure disposed above one or more etched silicon structures overlying a substrate member. A metal layer is disposed above the first insulating structure without a prior deposition of a diffusion barrier and adhesion layer. A thin insulating structure is disposed above the second insulating structure. A first configuration of the metal layer, the first insulating structure and the one or more etched silicon structures forms a free-space coupler. A second configuration of the thin insulating structure above the second insulating structure forms an edge coupler.

摘要: A wafer-level optoelectronic packaging method includes fabricating a pre-singulated wafer. The pre-singulated wafer has a plurality of sub-mounts. A first sub-mount of the plurality of sub-mounts includes an optical waveguide formed on a substrate, a multi-layered sub-mount boundary wall that is formed on the optical waveguide, and a v-groove that is external to the sub-mount boundary wall. A plurality of optical dies are attached to the corresponding plurality of sub-mounts, such that each optical die is aligned to the optical waveguide of the corresponding sub-mount. A cap-wafer including a plurality of caps is attached to the pre-singulated wafer to obtain an encapsulated pre-singulated wafer. The encapsulated pre-singulated wafer is diced to obtain a plurality of optoelectronic packages. The optical waveguide of each optoelectronic package serves as an interconnection conduit between the corresponding optical die and an optical fiber placed in the corresponding v-groove.
