Abstract
A semiconductor device includes an oxide layer having a first side and a second side opposite to each other. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of first waveguides that are disposed across a plurality of first insulator layers, respectively, on the first side of the oxide layer. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of second waveguides that are disposed across a plurality of second insulator layers, respectively, on the second side of the oxide layer. The plurality of first waveguides and the plurality of second waveguides collectively form a plurality of photonic neural network layers of an artificial neural network.
