Claims20
A method of manufacturing an optical device, the method comprising:
- forming a dielectric material around a wafer;
- forming an opening within the dielectric material;
- sealing the opening by bonding a stack of semiconductor materials to the dielectric material;
- and
- forming at least one optical component using the stack of semiconductor materials.
A method of manufacturing an optical device, the method comprising:
- forming a buried cavity within a silicon on insulator substrate;
- forming optical components and at least one heater over a first side of the buried cavity;
- and
- forming a dielectric material on a second side of the buried cavity, wherein the buried cavity thermally isolates the at least one heater from the dielectric material.
An optical device comprising:
- a first buried cavity within a first dielectric material;
- first optical components and a heater on a first side of the first buried cavity;
- and
- a second dielectric material on a second side of the first buried cavity opposite the first side, wherein the first buried cavity thermally isolates the second dielectric material from the heater.
