Design challenges in large-scale silicon photonics

Abstract

Abstract-We discuss the challenges in the design flow of complex silicon photonic circuits. The treatment of multi-physics, variability, parasitics at both layout and circuit level is not straightforward. Also, layout automation and verification will need significant developments on existing electronic and photonic design methods.

A Review and Perspective on Optical Phased Array for Automotive LiDAR

“…All of the most advanced silicon foundries in the world have currently some SiPho offerings. Foundry compatibility is one of the SiPho greatest advantages, as it enables low cost and high-volume production of sensors with extremely small footprints, as required by the automotive industry [91]- [94].…”
