Abstract
Heterogeneous integration of III-V on silicon lasers eliminates some constraints of chip-to-chip alignment, but the optical coupling between the two media remains of importance for repeatable performances. First, we present a processing enhancement of the bonding oxide thickness uniformity across the wafer, improving the cross-section reproducibility. Next optimized tapering of the III-V/Si waveguides, offering a design agnostic to the number of quantum wells, will be shown. Finally, the yield of III-V on Silicon tunable lasers was evaluated by mean of wafer level measurements, using a yield oriented tuning of each cavity, so that lasers characteristics can be fairly compared.
