4 Ways to Put Lasers on Silicon

Cars That Think

Working at Imec, a Belgium-based nanoelectronics R&D center, we are currently pursuing four basic strategies: flip-chip processing, microtransfer printing, wafer bonding, and monolithic integration. This would do away with any need for bonding or alignment, and it would reduce the amount of III-V material that is wasted.
