New paradigm :
New III-V/Si integration platform combining best of both worlds -
III-V : providing optical gain (Silicon can’t compete for light emission) -
Silicon : Available key building blocks (low loss passive waveguides, wavelength multiplexers/demultiplexers, detectors, modulators)
Key point : molecular bonding of III-V wafers to 200/300mm SOI wafers
