III–V Compound Semiconductor Nanopillars Monolithically Integrated to Silicon Photonics

Abstract

We propose a platform based on III−V compound semiconductor nanopillars monolithically integrated with silicon photonics. Nanopillars were grown in a process free of metal catalysts onto silicon at low temperature, and a bottom-up process was applied to define the photonic integrated circuit. Stimulated and spontaneous emissions from the nanopillars are direct coupled to silicon waveguides.
