US Patent 11550173 Heterogeneous structure on an integrated photonics platform

There is set forth herein an integrated photonics structure having a waveguide disposed within a dielectric stack of the integrated photonics structure, wherein the integrated photonics structure further includes a field generating electrically conductive structure disposed within the dielectric stack; and a heterogenous structure attached to the integrated photonics structure, the heterogenous structure having field sensitive material that is sensitive to a field generated by the field generating electrically conductive structure. There is set forth herein a method including fabricating an integrated photonics structure, wherein the fabricating an integrated photonics structure includes fabricating a waveguide within a dielectric stack, wherein the fabricating an integrated photonics structure further includes fabricating a field generating electrically conductive structure within the dielectric stack; and attaching a heterogenous structure to the integrated photonics structure, the heterogenous structure having field sensitive material that is sensitive to a field generated by the field generating electrically conductive structure.
