As silicon photonics become a more widely used technology platform, the high-volume CMOS compatible assembly and packaging processes used in electronics manufacturing will become more common-place for photonic manufacturing.

Packaging: Once testing is complete, the silicon photonic chip is packaged to provide environmental protection, facilitate fiber coupling, and ensure reliable operation in the intended application. Common packaging approaches include coupling the chip with a fiber array pigtail using passive alignment techniques or active alignment mechanisms ...

Photonic packaging is perhaps the most significant bottleneck in the development of commercially relevant integrated photonic devices. This article describes how the key optical, electrical, and thermal requirements of Si-PIC packaging can be met, and what further progress is needed before industrial scale-up can be achieved. 1. Introduction.

His field of expertise is in Photonic Integrated Circuit packaging, Module integration (VCSEL and PIC), and Electronic/Photonic convergence for advanced applications of PICs.

The doctoral thesis, "Integrated silicon photonic packaging," by How Yuan Hwang (2019) explores advanced packaging technologies for silicon photonics, aiming to bridge the gap between device fabrication and final packaged products.

We chart the generational trends in silicon photo-nics technology, drawing parallels from the generational definitions of CMOS technology. We identify the crucial challenges that must be...

Aug 1, 2018 · Si photonics enable optical circuits of unprecedented complexity and cost efficiency. Yet, photonic packaging uses legacy approaches dominating cost and limiting scalability. We show a novel approach centered on shifting complexity from assembly to wafer fabrication.

6 days ago · Chen: The same is true for 3D packaging. The difficulty is that we can measure the temperature outside the package, but then we need to understand what is really the temperature inside the package. There’s a difference between the actual measurement and a simulated measurement for the inside. It’s the same thing for silicon photonics.

Jan 1, 2016 · The term “Photonics Packaging” is a catch-all expression that covers the technology needed to support both optical and electronic interfacing with the PIC, and includes fiber-coupling, laser-source integration, wire-bonding, and flip-chip integration for efficient high-speed signaling .
