    Abstract: A through-silicon-via structure formed within a semiconductor device is provided. The TSV structure may include a trench located within a substrate of the semiconductor device, an insulator layer located on at least one side wall of the trench, an electrically conductive layer located on the insulator layer, a first dielectric layer located on the electrically conductive layer, and a second dielectric layer located on the first dielectric layer and filling the trench. The second dielectric layer includes a higher refractive index relative to the first dielectric layer, such that the first and the second dielectric layer create an optical waveguide. The electrically conductive layer provides electrical coupling between the semiconductor device and another semiconductor device, while the optical waveguide provides optical coupling between the semiconductor device and the another semiconductor device, whereby the another semiconductor device has another substrate that is separate from the substrate of the semiconductor device.

    Abstract: An optical coupler integrated on a substrate, that will optically couple a laser and a waveguide and including an external element, including two arms separated by a notch, this notch being delimited laterally by two first walls at a spacing that reduces towards the bottom of the notch; a central element, located in the notch delimited laterally by two second walls and with a first region in which the two second walls are in direct contact with two first walls as far as the bottom of the notch; and an intermediate element, extending between the external element and the central element. The optical index of the central element is greater than the optical index of the intermediate element, itself greater than the optical index of the arms of the external element. Such an optical coupler provides efficient coupling between a laser emitting in the mid-infrared and a waveguide integrated on a substrate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip having differential coupling elements that couple electromagnetic radiation having a frequency outside of the visible spectrum between a silicon substrate and a dielectric waveguide overlying the silicon substrate. In some embodiments, the integrated chip has a dielectric waveguide disposed within an inter-level dielectric (ILD) material overlying a semiconductor substrate. A differential driver circuit generates a differential signal having a first transmission signal component at a first output node and a complementary second transmission signal component at a second output node. A first transmission electrode located along a first side of the dielectric waveguide receives the first transmission signal component from the first output node, and a second transmission electrode located along a second side of the dielectric waveguide receives the complementary second transmission signal component from the second output node.
