Official Description

The HAPPI program is developing three-dimensional chip-to-chip and intra-chip optical routing that are compatible with standard microelectronics manufacturing processes. The program scope includes multiple routing planes within a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) or photonic interposer, connections between routing layers capable of traversing substrate thickness, and surface methods for coupling light from one photonic chip to another. This technology will enable packages that include multiple P...
