JFET Integration Using a Foundry SOI Photonics Platform
We explore the monolithic integration of conventional electronics with SOI photonics using the commercial silicon photonics foundry technology offered by A*STAR’s Institute of Microelectronics (IME). This process offers optical waveguide modulators and photodetectors, but was not intended...
