Developments in 300mm silicon photonics using traditional CMOS fabrication methods and materials

Abstract

Silicon photonics technological platforms are meant to generate derivative products and concurrently to benefit from the main advantages associated with CMOS platforms namely: high yield, system robustness, product reliability and large volume, low cost production. Nevertheless, a simultaneous innovative approach is to analogously take advantage from state-of-the-art fabrication methods and tools available in CMOS to develop new solutions and propose better performing devices to the platform.
