Abstract:
1. A hybrid photonics device, comprising: a silicon portion having one or more features formed therein; a non-silicon portion comprising one or more photonics devices proximate to the one or more features of the silicon portion, the non-silicon portion comprising a III-V material and a multiple quantum well region; and a bonding layer coupling the silicon portion with the non-silicon portion, the bonding layer comprising a thickness of about 100 nanometers, the non-silicon portion being bonded to the silicon portion via the bonding layer prior to patterning of the one or more photonics devices; wherein an optical mode of the silicon portion may at least partially overlap with a photonics device in the non-silicon portion to obtain gain from the photonics device in the non-silicon portion, and wherein the non-silicon portion comprising about a 5% multiple quantum well confinement factor.
