Abstract

Techniques disclosed herein relate generally to integrating photonic integrated circuits and electronic integrated circuits in a same package. A device includes a semiconductor substrate and a die stack on the semiconductor substrate. The die stack includes a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die and an electronic integrated circuit (EIC) die. The PIC die includes a PIC substrate and a photonic integrated circuit formed on the PIC substrate. The EIC die includes an EIC substrate and an electronic integrated circuit formed on the EIC substrate. The EIC die and the PIC die are bonded such that the PIC substrate and the EIC substrate are disposed on opposing sides of the die stack. The PIC substrate is bonded to the semiconductor substrate. The device also includes a cooling plate bonded to the EIC substrate.
