Integration Method Efficiently Couples III-V with Silicon
HONG KONG, Feb. 26, 2024 — In the past decades, data traffic has grown exponentially driven by emerging technologies. The field of integrated circuits has enabled that growth, making electronic devices smaller and faster. But the start of the Zettabyte Era in 2016 has pushed the technology to its limits, posing critical challenges in speed, bandwidth, cost, and power consumption. Photonic integration, silicon photonics in particular, presents an opportunity to alleviate those challenges. Researchers at the Hong
