Design and manufacturing technology of 3D silicon photonic structures with optical interconnections through microchannel vias interposers were developed. Silicon chips placed over each other were separated by the silicon microchannel vias interposer served as a light waveguide. Light emitting diodes and photodiodes were formed at the inner surfaces of silicon chips from nanostructured silicon clusters embedded into alumina matrix. The developed structure is characterized by the current conversion efficiency of 0.1% and can operate in the GHz frequency range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
