    Abstract: Photonic integrated circuit packages having improved integration, and methods of manufacturing such photonic integrated circuit packages, are provided. As an example, a photonic integrated circuit package may include a substrate, a first insulating layer on the substrate, a photonic core layer on the first insulating layer, and a second insulating layer on the photonic core layer. A photonic coupling device may be in the photonic core layer, and may be, as examples, at least one of a grating coupler or a photodetector. A concave mirror may extend into at least the second insulating layer. In some embodiments, the concave mirror may extend through the second insulating layer and into the first insulating layer.

    Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit device includes a semiconductor substrate (e.g., wafer) having a chip region therein, which is bounded on at least one side thereof by a scribe line. The chip region includes an optical transmitter, an optical receiver and a test optical waveguide. This test optical waveguide is coupled to the optical transmitter and the optical receiver and overlaps the scribe line. During a substrate dicing operation, a portion of the test optical waveguide overlapping the scribe line is removed.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to image sensors. An example image sensor includes a first substrate, a transmission transistor, a second substrate, multiple transistors, multiple wires, and a deep node. The first substrate includes a first side, a second side facing the first side, and a photoelectric conversion area. The transmission transistor is disposed on the first side of the first substrate. The second substrate includes a first side and a second side facing each other. The transistors are disposed on the first side of the second substrate and connected with the transmission transistor. The wires are disposed on the second side of the second substrate. The deep node penetrates the second substrate. The first side of the first substrate and the first side of the second substrate face each other. The transistors and one or more wires are connected through the deep node.

    Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit includes a main light source, a redundant light source, a controller, an optical switch, and a modulator. The main light source outputs main light through a main light input waveguide. The redundant light source outputs redundant light through a redundant light transmission waveguide. The controller generates a first switch signal based on a fault state of the main light source. The optical switch selectively provides the redundant light from the redundant light transmission waveguide to a redundant light input waveguide based on the first switch signal. The modulator modulates main light from the main light input waveguide or redundant light from the redundant light input waveguide and outputs a first optical signal.
