Silicon photonics for optical interconnects can further improve the signal transmission density by introducing multilayered structure. In this work, we used grating couplers with metal mirrors for the inter-layer connection in multi-layered a-Si:H waveguides. The coupling efficiency of 90%, which was around 3 times higher than that without metal mirrors, was estimated by 3D-FDTD simulation. Devices were fabricated by process temperatures below 300°C and the coupling efficiency of 83% was obtained for a device with the number of grating periods of 20. |
