InP membrane technology for photonics electronics convergence

Abstract

InP membrane on silicon (IMOS) technology has shown high potential in realizing high-density photonic circuits with speed and energy benefits. Intrinsic active components offered by the InP membrane promise highest optoelectronic efficiencies. It can also be intimately integrated on electronics wafers with ultrashort interconnect lengths, paving a way towards the convergence of photonics and electronics.
