A method of achieving hybrid integration of laser bars on a silicon platform, using chip-flip bonding, is presented. A support structure etched into the substrate is used to provide vertical alignment to the plane utilizing a gimballed placement laser tool. In-plane accuracy is provided by bonder tolerances, with facet-to-facet alignment enabled by high magnification optics and the dimensions of the laser bar. Chip design features have increased allowed tolerances during fabrication of the support structure giving a route to higher yield in manufacture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
