Presentation Title: Photonic-Electronic Co-packaging and Addressing Production Scale-up Challenges through Design Standardisation and Pilot Lines.
Abstract: The talk will present some of the latest developments in photonic and electronic packaging technologies, and how these technologies can transition from research to pilot-scale manufacturing. Particular focus will be given to packaging materials such as glass, the co-design of packaging processes with equipment development, and the development of standardised process design kits. The talk will also highlight important research initiatives in advanced packaging, particularly the recently launched European Pilot Lines, which aim to address the challenges of transitioning advanced packaging research to manufacturing-scale-up.

Prof Abdallah Ougazzaden
President of Georgia Tech-Europe, Professor
Georgia Institute of Technology
Presentation Title: 2D hBN for GaN Technologies: Scalable Epitaxy, Micro-LEDs, and Deep-UV Advances
Abstract: Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), a two-dimensional ultrawide-bandgap semiconductor, is emerging as a foundational platform for next-generation III-nitride optoelectronics. Its weak van der Waals interface enables scalable epitaxial growth, mechanical release, and transfer of freestanding GaN-based heterostructures, supporting heterogeneous integration and flexible device architectures. Recent advances include MOVPE growth of h-BN and III-nitride heterostructures on 6-inch wafers, membrane liftoff of LEDs, and transfer onto arbitrary substrates. Vertical integration of RGB micro-LEDs grown on h-BN and graphene further enables full-color micro-LED displays. A selective-area van der Waals epitaxy approach yields detachable micro-LEDs from 100 μm down to 1.4 μm with smooth, as-grown sidewalls and well-defined facets; these devices can be released as membranes and transferred without degradation. Beyond its role as a template, h-BN also functions as an active material: Mg-doped h-BN can replace p-AlGaN to achieve electrically injected emission near 290 nm, offering a promising route to efficient deep-UV LEDs.

Abstract: Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have become the gold standard for single-photon detection, combining broadband high efficiency with ultra-low dark counts, rapid recovery, and excellent timing jitter. Their performance underpins both fundamental quantum optics and an expanding range of quantum and classical photonic technologies. In this talk, I will present our recent advances in materials heterointegration and nanophotonic design that enable compact on-chip detectors, photon-number resolution, and quantum-state tomography.

Abstract: In electrically-pumped semiconductor lasers, microfabricated structures like photonic crystals have been employed to reduce device footprints. Recently, topological concepts have been integrated into the design of photonic crystal lasers, enabling unprecedented robustness to perturbations and unique laser performance. In this talk, I will present how band topology, which is invariant under small deformations, generates robust topological lasing states in semiconductor laser flatforms. In addition, I will introduce how photonic crystals lasers are designed using other promising topological concepts, such as Dirac vortex (or Majorana zero) cavities and topologically nontrivial flatband bound states in the continuum (BICs), for achieving robustness of lasing frequencies, structural beam engineering, and miniaturization while maintaining good laser performance.

Dr Jurgen Michel
Senior Research Scientist

Presentation Title: Device Performance of BEOL Ge Epitaxy on Si Devices
Abstract: Integration of near-infrared photodetectors in the back-end-of-line requires low temperature growth of Ge (<450 C). We have developed low temperature epitaxial growth of Ge on Si using commercial tools and processes. We have fabricated high performance, vertical incidence Ge-on-Si photodiodes under these thermal budget constraints with as-grown diodes achieving high IQE and low dark current densities at 1310 nm. The photodiode design incorporates a uni-traveling-carrier (UTC) design, demonstrating that Ge material quality is sufficiently high for minority carriers to diffuse to the Ge/Si interface. Post-growth annealing up to 550 C was applied to improve device performance. Low-temperature grown Ge-on-Si photodiodes give comparable performance to diodes processed at high temperatures despite thermal budget constraints.
Bio: Dr. Michel received his PhD from the University of Paderborn in Germany. After conduction post-doctoral research at the AT&T Bell Laboratories, he moved to MIT to conduct research on Si-based microphotonic devices, eventually specializing in Ge-on-Si integration.
