Electronic-integration compatible photonic integrated circuit and method for fabricating electronic-integration compatible photonic integrated circuit

A method for integrating one or more photonic devices on a substrate with a semiconductor device, wherein the semiconductor device comprises one or more electronic devices, the method comprising:

• a. creating a first optical cladding layer on a first substrate;
• b. creating a first optical core layer on top of the first optical cladding layer, wherein the first optical cladding layer and the first optical core layer form a first optical waveguide;
• c. creating a first optical-fiber coupling lens on the first optical waveguide;
• d. creating a first optical device, wherein an optical beam in the first waveguide propagates substantially in the first optical core layer;
• e. optically connecting the first optical device to the first waveguide;
• f. creating a first interspaced dielectric structure layer on top of the first optical core layer;
• g. creating a second optical core layer on top of the first interspaced dielectric structure layer;
• and
• h. creating a second optical device with optical beam propagating substantially in the second optical core layer;
• i. mounting a first optical fiber on the first substrate to facilitate a coupling of light beam energy between the first optical fiber and the first optical waveguide.
