Abstract

Integrated photonics has the potential of fabricating a diverse set of photonic systems on a single substrate. At nanoscales (< 100 nm), the properties of material depend on quantum confinements. The challenge is to integrate these unique properties of nanostructures into low-cost manufacturing. For material deposition, a photo-assisted monolayer deposition technique can provide nanomaterials with an ultra-low defect density. Epitaxial dielectrics offer the possibility of growing defect-free optical materials including compound semiconductors on silicon substrates. In this paper, we have also provided manufacturing directions that must be incorporated for developing the next generation of integrated photonics.
