    Abstract: Structures for a waveguide crossing and methods of forming such structures. The structure comprises a first waveguide core including a first section, a second section, and a first longitudinal axis. The first section and the second section are aligned along the first longitudinal axis, the first section is terminated by a first end, the second section is terminated by a second end, and the first end of the first section is longitudinally spaced from the second end of the second section by a gap. The structure further comprises a second waveguide core having a second longitudinal axis angled relative to the first longitudinal axis. The second longitudinal axis of the second waveguide core crosses the first longitudinal axis of the first waveguide core within the gap.

    Abstract: Structures for a grating that may be deployed in edge coupler and methods of forming such structures. The structure comprises a waveguide core positioned on a substrate. The waveguide core includes a longitudinal axis and a grating having first and second segments positioned along the longitudinal axis in a spaced-apart arrangement. The first segment has a first sidewall sloped at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis and a second sidewall oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis. The second segment has a first sidewall sloped at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis and a second sidewall oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis. The first sidewall of the first segment positioned adjacent to the first sidewall of the second segment.

    Abstract: A photodetector disclosed herein includes an N-doped waveguide structure defined in a semiconductor material, wherein the N-doped waveguide structure comprises a plurality of first fins. Each adjacent pair of the plurality of first fins is separated by a trench formed in the semiconductor material. The photodetector also includes a detector structure positioned on the N-doped waveguide structure, wherein a portion of the detector structure is positioned laterally between the plurality of first fins. The detector structure comprises a single crystal semiconductor material. The photodetector also includes a first diffusion region that extends from the bottom surface of the trench into the semiconductor material, wherein the first diffusion region comprises atoms of the single crystal semiconductor material of the detector structure.
