Abstract:
A method of fabricating a waveguide device is disclosed. The method includes providing a substrate having an elector-interconnection region and a waveguide region and forming a patterned dielectric layer and a patterned redistribution layer (RDL) over the substrate in the electro-interconnection region. The method also includes bonding the patterned RDL to a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) through a bonding stack. A reflecting-mirror trench is formed in the substrate in the waveguide region, and a reflecting layer is formed over a reflecting-mirror region inside the waveguide region. The method further includes forming and patterning a bottom cladding layer in a wave-tunnel region inside the waveguide region and forming and patterning a core layer and a top cladding layer in the waveguide region.

Claim (Index 1):
A device comprising:\n a substrate having a first region and a second region; a conductive layer disposed over the substrate in the first region; a passivation layer disposed over the conductive layer in the first region; a reflecting layer that includes a first portion disposed over the passivation layer in the first region and a second portion disposed over the second region of the substrate; a first cladding layer disposed over the reflecting layer in the second region; a core layer disposed over the first and second portions of the reflecting layer such that the core layer prevent the first and second portions of the reflecting layer from interfacing with each other, wherein the core layer includes polymer; and a second cladding layer disposed over core layer in the second region.
