摘要:
Embodiments of the invention describe heterogeneous photonic integrated circuits (PIC) wherein a first silicon region is separated from the heterogeneous semiconductor material by a first distance, and a second silicon region is separated from the heterogeneous semiconductor material by a second distance greater than the first distance.Thus embodiments of the invention may be described as, in heterogeneous regions of a heterogeneous PIC, silicon waveguides using multiple heights of the silicon waveguide, or other structures with multiple offset heights between silicon and heterogeneous materials (as described herein).

Embodiments of the invention describe optical devices including a III-V slab having a taper including a first region and a second region smaller than the first. Said first region receives light and confines an optical mode of the received light; thus, as opposed to the prior art solutions, said III-V regions of optical devices perform the optical function of mode confinement. Embodiments of the invention further describe optical devices including a silicon slab to receive light from said III-V slab, and having a taper including a first silicon region and a second silicon region smaller than the first. Said first region receives light and confines an optical mode of the received light.Thus, embodiments of the invention describe optical devices created with a low loss transition from hybrid regions to silicon regions with fewer restrictions on the design of the silicon waveguides and the III-V waveguides.
摘要:
A method for designing a mask and for fabricating a panel improves the efficiency with which a base substrate may be used by forming unit panels of different sizes on the base substrate. The mask includes a first region and a second region, a first mask pattern within the first region, and a second mask pattern within the second region.
