| Summary: | We report results of laser processing of amorphous silicon and silicon-germanium semiconductor materials for the production of integrated photonic platforms. As the materials are deposited and processed at low temperatures, they are flexible, low cost, and suitable for multi-layer integration with other photonic or electronic layers. We demonstrate the formation of waveguides via crystallization of pre-patterned silicon components and functional microstructures through crystallization and compositional tuning of silicon-germanium alloy films. These results open a route for the fabrication of high density, multi-functional integrated optoelectronic chips.
