Abstract: Photonic devices and methods of manufacture are provided. In embodiments a fill material and/or a secondary waveguide are utilized in order to protect other internal structures such as grating couplers from the rigors of subsequent processing steps. Through the use of these structures at the appropriate times during the manufacturing process, damage and debris that would otherwise interfere with the manufacturing process of the device or operation of the device can be avoided.

Abstract: A method includes forming a die, which further includes forming a first through-via and a second through-via extending from a front side of a semiconductor substrate into the semiconductor substrate. The first through-via and the second through-via are connected to a first integrated circuit device and a second integrated circuit device, respectively, in the die. A backside grinding process is performed to reveal the first through-via and the second through-via. A backside redistribution line is formed to physically join to both of the first through-via and the second through-via.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatus and methods for a silicon photonic (SiPh) structure comprising the integration of an electrical integrated circuit (EIC); a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) disposed on top of the EIC; two or more polymer waveguides (PWGs) disposed on top of the PIC and formed by layers of cladding polymer and core polymer; and an integration fan-out redistribution (InFO RDL) layer disposed on top of the two or more PWGs. The operation of PWGs is based on the refractive indexes of the cladding and core polymers. Inter-layer optical signals coupling is provided by edge-coupling, reflective prisms and grating coupling. A wafer-level system implements a SiPh structure die and provides inter-die signal optical interconnections among the PWGs.
