Silicon Photonics Technology Optical Module Process

Silicon Photonics Integration Technology refers to the integration of optical functions on silicon substrates using CMOS-compatible manufacturing processes. Specifically, it enables modulators, waveguides, multiplexers, and photodetectors to be fabricated at wafer scale. Thereby it opens a route towards very advanced PICs with very high yield and low cost. More precisely, silicon photonics. This whitepaper describes STMicroelectronics' advancements in silicon photonics and BiCMOS technologies, essential for addressing the energy eficiency and performance demands of AI optical interconnects. Unlike the ASIC and CPU chips that act as the brains. Abstract—We present our work in the area of heterogeneous opticalintegration,whereseparatelymanufacturedelectroniccom-ponents are assembled on to an active silicon photonics interposer to form a higher-level component.
