Patent number: 9935424Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an optical source (such as a laser) with a lens, which is disposed on an isolator. This isolator is disposed on a semiconductor layer in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform that includes an optical coupler and an optical waveguide. During operation, the optical source generates an optical signal that propagates toward the isolator so that the lens focuses the optical signal. Furthermore, the isolator reduces or eliminates back reflection of the optical signal toward the optical source, and the optical coupler couples the optical signal into the optical waveguide.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Xuezhe Zheng, Ashok V.

Patent number: 9735989Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of an equalizer that uses both cross-coupled cascodes and inductive peaking to reduce distortion in a signal received from a communication channel by attenuating lower frequencies and amplifying higher frequencies. At lower frequencies, when the effects of inductive impedance within the equalizer are negligible, the equalizer essentially functions as a traditional cascode amplifier that presents high gain. At higher frequencies, the increases in inductive impedances within the equalizer act to boost a gain of the equalizer.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Jingqiong Xie, Ashok V.

Patent number: 9519105Abstract: A multi-chip module (MCM) is described. This MCM includes two substrates that are passively self-assembled on another substrate using hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials on facing surfaces of the substrates and liquid surface tension as the restoring force. In particular, regions with a hydrophilic material on the two substrates overlap regions with the hydrophilic material on the other substrate. These regions on the other substrate may be surrounded by a region with a hydrophobic material. In addition, spacers on a surface of at least one of the two substrates may align optical waveguides disposed on the two substrates, so that the optical waveguides are coplanar. This fabrication technique may allow low-loss hybrid optical sources to be fabricated by edge coupling the two substrates. For example, a first of the two substrates may be a III/V compound semiconductor and a second of the two substrates may be a silicon-on-insulator photonic chip.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2016Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Ivan Shubin, Xuezhe Zheng, Jin Hyoung Lee, Kannan Raj, Ashok V.

Patent number: 8982563Abstract: A chip package includes a processor, an interposer chip and a voltage regulator module (VRM). The interposer chip is electrically coupled to the processor by first electrical connectors proximate to a surface of the interposer chip. Moreover, the interposer chip includes second electrical connectors proximate to another surface of the interposer chip, which are electrically coupled to the first electrical connectors by through-substrate vias (TSVs) in the interposer chip. Note that the second electrical connectors can electrically couple the interposer chip to a circuit board. Furthermore, the VRM is electrically coupled to the processor by the interposer chip, and is proximate to the processor in the chip package, thereby reducing voltage droop. For example, the VRM may be electrically coupled to the surface of the interposer chip, and may be adjacent to the processor. Alternatively, the VRM may be electrically coupled to the other surface of the interposer chip.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Kannan Raj, Ivan Shubin, John E.

Patent number: 8873961Abstract: An optical de-multiplexer (de-MUX) that includes an optical device that images and diffracts an optical signal using a reflective geometry is described, where a free spectral range (FSR) of the optical device associated with a given diffraction order abuts FSRs associated with adjacent diffraction orders. Moreover, the channel spacings within diffraction orders and between adjacent diffraction orders are equal to the predefined channel spacing associated with the optical signal. As a consequence, the optical device has a comb-filter output spectrum, which reduces a tuning energy of the optical device by eliminating spectral gaps between diffraction orders of the optical device.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Ying Luo, Xuezhe Zheng, Guoliang Li, Kannan Raj, Ashok V.
