Abstract

The goal of SiEPICfab is to conduct research in the fabrication of silicon photonic devices and photonic integrated circuits, and to make leading-edge silicon photonic manufacturing accessible to Canadian and international academics and industry. SiEPICfab builds on the success of the Silicon Electronic Photonic Integrated Circuits (SiEPIC) program, which has been offering research training workshops since 2008, by adding a fabrication facility “fab”. We have developed a rapid prototyping facility to support a complete ecosystem of companies involved in silicon photonics product development, including modelling, design, library development, fabrication, test, and packaging of silicon photonics. SiEPICfab allows designers to rapidly complete design-fabricate-test cycles, with technologies such as sub-wavelength sensors, PN junction ring modulators, silicon defect-based detectors, single photon detectors, single photon sources, and photonic wire bond integration of lasers and optical fibres.
