Abstract
A method includes forming a first photonic die, which includes forming a first silicon waveguide, and forming a first nitride waveguide. The method further includes forming a first through-via extending into a first plurality of dielectric layers in the first photonic die, and bonding a second photonic die to the first photonic die. The second photonic die includes a second nitride waveguide. The first silicon waveguide is optically coupled to the second nitride waveguide through the first nitride waveguide. A second through-via extends into a second plurality of dielectric layers in the second photonic die.
