Abstract
A network switch is disclosed that features a hybrid electro-photonic integrated circuit devices that include an electronic circuit layer mounted on a photonic circuit layer. In one aspect, a switch includes a photonic circuit layer implemented in one or more first semiconductor chips. The photonic circuit layer includes a first inner region of the photonic circuit layer and a first outer region. The photonic circuit layer includes waveguides and one or more optical couplers in the first outer region. At least one waveguide is connected at one end to each of the one or more optical couplers. The switch also includes an electronic circuit layer implemented in one or more second semiconductor chips coupled to the one or more first semiconductor chips. The electronic circuit layer includes a second inner region adjacent to the first inner region of the photonic circuit layer and a second outer region.
