Abstract
This paper highlights micro-transfer printing (MTP) as a promising scalable approach to heterogeneous integration for silicon photonics. MTP uniquely achieves high integration density, high throughput, and high material efficiency through a low-temperature, back-end integration process. Current demonstrations, including integrated III-V lasers and thin-film electro-optic modulators, confirm MTP's potential. Industrial adoption requires resolving challenges related to final integration yield and throughput, device reliability, and supply chain maturity.
