  • On-chip integration of optical components with photonic wire bonds and/or lenses
    Patent number: 12658668
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fabricating a semiconductor chip with an integrated laser diode (or other optical component). An example method may comprise fabricating a recess shaped to receive the optical component. The method may also comprise metallizing at least one surface of the recess. The method may also comprise coupling the optical component to the at least one metallized surface of the recess. The component may comprise a laser diode comprising a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor. The n-type semiconductor may be electrically coupled to the at least one metallized surface of the recess. The method may also comprise optically coupling an optical output of the laser diode (or other optical component) to an optical input of a photonic interface of the chip with a photonic wire bond and/or at least one polymer lens.
