Abstract
A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensor system includes a circuit module. The circuit module includes a silicon substrate having a first thermal feature. The circuit module includes a III-V semiconductor substrate coupled to the silicon substrate, the III-V semiconductor substrate having a second thermal feature. The circuit board includes an optical device coupled to the III-V semiconductor substrate, the optical device configured to output a transmit beam. The circuit module further includes a plurality of vias disposed in a particular portion of the silicon substrate, where the particular portion corresponds to the III-V semiconductor substrate, at least one of the plurality of vias having a third thermal feature. The LIDAR system further includes a scanner configured to direct the transmit beam to an environment of the vehicle.
