First laser arrays monolithically grown on 300mm silicon wafers
Imec and Ghent University present, for the first time, arrays of indium phosphide lasers monolithically integrated on 300mm silicon substrates in a CMOS pilot line. This breakthrough achievement, published in Nature Photonics, provides a path toward high-volume manufacturing of cost-effective PICs with monolithically integrated laser sources. Such laser-powered PICs will revolutionise data transfer between future logic and memory chips.
