Projectdetails

Introduction

Silicon photonics has progressed enormously over the last 15 years. Large microelectronics manufacturers and small companies are now working on the subject, with identified products.

Technological Barriers

The reproducibility of micro and nanophotonic devices remains a central technological barrier that needs to be broken. The dimension errors of cleanroom devices are between 1 to 10 nanometers (1%), which limits applications.

Innovative Technique

We have discovered a technique that makes it possible to absorb these errors at the end of manufacturing, permanently.

Key Features of the Technique

  1. We can tune photonic resonators with an accuracy of 10^(-4).
  2. We can make them strictly identical when necessary.

Project Overview

In this POC project, the patented technique will be transposed onto silicon devices of interest, in a simple configuration for manufacturers.
