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 15):
A device comprising:\n a conductive layer disposed over a first region of a semiconductor substrate; a passivation layer disposed over the conductive layer in the first region of the semiconductor substrate; a reflecting layer disposed over the passivation layer in the first region of the semiconductor substrate and further disposed directly on the semiconductor substrate in a second region of the semiconductor substrate such that the reflecting layer physically contacts the semiconductor substrate in the second region; a first cladding layer disposed over the reflecting layer in the second region of the semiconductor substrate; a core layer disposed over the first cladding layer in the second region of the semiconductor substrate; and a second cladding layer disposed over the core layer in the second region of the semiconductor substrate, wherein at least one of the first cladding layer, the core layer and the second cladding layer overlaps the passivation layer.
