Abstract: A fabrication technique for cleaving a substrate in an integrated circuit is described. During this fabrication technique, a trench is defined on a back side of a substrate. For example, the trench may be defined using photoresist and/or a mask pattern on the back side of the substrate. The trench may extend from the back side to a depth less than a thickness of the substrate. Moreover, a buried-oxide layer and a semiconductor layer may be disposed on a front side of the substrate. In particular, the substrate may be included in a silicon-on-insulator technology. By applying a force proximate to the trench, the substrate may be cleaved to define a surface, such as an optical facet. This surface may have high optical quality and may extend across the substrate, the buried-oxide layer and the semiconductor layer.

Abstract: A hybrid optical source comprises an optical gain chip containing an optical gain material that provides an optical signal, and an optical reflector chip including an optical reflector. It also includes a semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) chip, which comprises a semiconductor layer having a planarized surface facing the semiconductor reflector. The semiconductor layer includes: an optical coupler to redirect the optical signal to and from the planarized surface; and an optical waveguide to convey the optical signal from the optical coupler. While assembling these chips, a height of the optical gain material is referenced against the planarized surface of the semiconductor layer, a height of the optical reflector is referenced against the planarized surface of the semiconductor layer, and the optical reflector is aligned with the optical coupler, so that the optical signal emanating from the optical gain material is reflected by the optical reflector and into the optical coupler.

Abstract: A multi-chip module (MCM) is described. This MCM includes a driver integrated circuit that includes electrical circuits, a photonic chip, an interposer, and an optical gain chip. The photonic chip may be implemented using a silicon-on-insulator technology, and may include an optical waveguide that conveys an optical signal and traces that are electrically coupled to the driver integrated circuit. Moreover, the interposer may be electrically coupled to the traces. Furthermore, the optical gain chip may include a III/V compound semiconductor (and, more generally, a semiconductor other than silicon), and may include a second optical waveguide that conveys the optical signal and that is vertically aligned with the optical waveguide relative to a top surface of the interposer. Additionally, the optical gain chip may be electrically coupled to the interposer.

Abstract: A technique for fabricating a hybrid optical source is described. During this fabrication technique, a III-V compound-semiconductor active gain medium is integrated with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) chip (or wafer) using edge coupling to form a co-planar hybrid optical source. Using a backside etch-assisted cleaving technique, and a temporary transparent substrate with alignment markers, a III-V compound-semiconductor chip with proper edge polish and coating can be integrated with a processed SOI chip (or wafer) with accurate alignment. This fabrication technique may significantly reduce the alignment complexity when fabricating the hybrid optical source, and may enable wafer-scale integration.

Abstract: A multi-chip module (MCM) is described. This MCM includes two substrates that are passively self-assembled on another substrate using hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials on facing surfaces of the substrates and liquid surface tension as the restoring force. In particular, regions with a hydrophilic material on the two substrates overlap regions with the hydrophilic material on the other substrate. These regions on the other substrate may be surrounded by a region with a hydrophobic material. In addition, spacers on a surface of at least one of the two substrates may align optical waveguides disposed on the two substrates, so that the optical waveguides are coplanar. This fabrication technique may allow low-loss hybrid optical sources to be fabricated by edge coupling the two substrates. For example, a first of the two substrates may be a III/V compound semiconductor and a second of the two substrates may be a silicon-on-insulator photonic chip.

Abstract: An optical device is described. This optical device includes optical components having resonance wavelengths that match target values with a predefined accuracy (such as 0.1 nm) and with a predefined time stability (such as permanent or an infinite time stability) without thermal tuning and/or electronic tuning. The stable, accurate resonance wavelengths may be achieved using a wafer-scale, single (sub-second) shot trimming technique that permanently corrects the phase errors induced by material variations and fabrication inaccuracies in the optical components (and, more generally, resonant silicon-photonic optical components). In particular, the trimming technique may use photolithographic exposure of the optical components on the wafer in parallel, with time-modulation for each individual optical component based on active-element control. Note that the physical mechanism in the trimming technique may involve superficial room-temperature oxidation of the silicon surface, which is induced by deep-ultraviolet radiation in the presence of oxygen.

Abstract: An integrated optical device includes an electro-absorption modulator disposed on a top surface of an optical waveguide. The electro-absorption modulator includes germanium disposed in a cavity between an n-type doped silicon sidewall and a p-type doped silicon sidewall. By applying a voltage between the n-type doped silicon sidewall and the p-type doped silicon sidewall, an electric field can be generated in a plane of the optical waveguide, but perpendicular to a propagation direction of the optical signal. This electric field shifts a band gap of the germanium, thereby modulating the optical signal.
