Hybrid wafer scale optoelectronic integration

The computer and telecommunications industries are placing ever greater demand on hardware systems for enhancedperformance. At the same time, the large volume of traffic in a high-bandwidth communication system increases theconcern for component reliability; the consequences of down time due to device failure can be severe. If we focus onintegrated circuits, the "device" consists of chip, interconnects and package; as bandwidth increases, the inherent chip
