An advanced III-V-on-silicon photonic integration platform

In many application scenarios, silicon (Si) photonics favors the integration of III-V gain material onto Si substrate to realize the on-chip light source. In addition to the current popular integration approaches of III-V-on-Si wafer bonding or direct heteroepitaxial growth, a newly emerged promisin...

Sumario:In many application scenarios, silicon (Si) photonics favors the integration of III-V gain material onto Si substrate to realize the on-chip light source. In addition to the current popular integration approaches of III-V-on-Si wafer bonding or direct heteroepitaxial growth, a newly emerged promising solution of epitaxial regrowth on bonded substrate has attracted a lot of interests. High-quality III-V material realization and successful laser demonstrations show its great potential to be a promising integration platform for low-cost, high-integration density and highly scalable active-passive photonic integration on Si. This paper reviews recent research work on this regrowth on bonded template platform including template developments, regrown material characterizations and laser demonstrations. The potential advantages, opportunities and challenges of this approach are discussed.
