Enhanced thermal dissipation for BCB-bonded 3D integrated membrane photonic circuits by Salim Abdi, Kevin Williams, Yuqing Jiao

“…This thermal resistance is maintained across various BCB thicknesses up to 30 µ m, ensuring the possibility of using such devices for scalable 3D integration on other platforms or with electronics. Moreover, we showed that the thermal resistance value is around 110–120 K W ^−1 for 0.75 mm-long shunted DFBs having array density values in the range of 40–200 µ m, and that the temperature rise at the end of the DFB contact is as low as 1.3 °C at 8 kA cm ^−2 driving current. …”
