Silicon photonics has gained increased attention in recent years because of its potential to significantly reduce the cost of optical devices used in traditional applications and its potential to enable new applications. Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) can be fabricated using standard, wafer scale CMOS technology, allowing a drastic reduction of the cost of the integrated circuits through economies of scale. Moreover the high-end fabrication tools, also used for fabricating the most advanced electronic chips and capable of handling 200 mm or 300 mm silicon wafers, allow achieving ...
