Abstract

A process flow is developed for releasing and transfer printing silicon-on-insulator devices. High alignment accuracy (better than ±1um) transfer printing of silicon coupons is demonstrated. Transfer printing alignment markers on source coupons and target wafers were used in a center-to-center alignment method. Notches on the sides of the devices and on the target were implemented for measuring misalignment using scanning electron microscopy. This work proves that transfer-printing technology can be used for the scalable heterogeneous integration of silicon photonic devices with optical interfaces allowing for a +/- 1μm misalignment.
