PreFab: Image-to-Image Computer Vision for Advanced Nanophotonic Fabrication and Design Abstract: PreFab is an image-to-image computer vision system designed to predict and correct nanofabrication variations in integrated photonic circuits. Utilizing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on GDS design files and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, PreFab enables precise transformations such as fabrication variation prediction, automatic design correction, SEM segmentation, and SEM styling. This system enhances the manufacturability and fidelity of complex photonic circuits by anticipating deviations like erosion, dilation, and edge uncertainties, and compensating for these during the design phase. Additionally, it facilitates post-fabrication analysis through SEM segmentation, allowing for accurate performance analysis. PreFab's methodology aims to minimize fabrication cycles, enhance design fidelity, and adapt to diverse nanophotonic manufacturing techniques, positioning it as a useful tool for the advancement of next-generation photonic technologies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PreFab : Vision par ordinateur image à image pour la fabrication et la conception nanophotoniques avancées Résumé : PreFab est un système de vision par ordinateur image à image conçu pour prédire et corriger les variations de nanofabrication dans les circuits photoniques intégrés. En utilisant des réseaux neuronaux convolutionnels (CNN) formés sur des fichiers de conception GDS et des images de microscope électronique à balayage (SEM), PreFab permet des transformations précises telles que la prédiction des variations de fabrication, la correction automatique de la conception, la segmentation SEM et le style SEM. Ce système améliore la fabricabilité et la fidélité des circuits photoniques complexes en anticipant les écarts tels que l'érosion, la dilatation et les incertitudes de bord, et en les compensant pendant la phase de conception. De plus, il facilite l'analyse post-fabrication grâce à la segmentation SEM, permettant une analyse précise des performances. La méthodologie de PreFab vise à minimiser les cycles de fabrication, à améliorer la fidélité de la conception et à s'adapter à diverses techniques de fabrication nanophotonique, le positionnant comme un outil utile pour l'avancement des technologies photoniques de nouvelle génération.

[] On this celebratory IEEE Day, let us rejoice in the combined IEEE worldwide activities of 39 technical societies and 7 interdisciplinary councils on one side of the IEEE coin, balanced with local sections and student chapters, bringing a physical presence of IEEE to local communities. By the way, one could argue that IEEE also has a 3rd leg into humanitarian activities. These S/C span a great swathe from hardware to software, including electronic devices, solar/wind energy production, power transmission, control theory, image compression, signal processing, and computer architecture. One could say this moves from applied physics to applied math. However, this session drills down to predominantly 1 of these societies, the electron device society, where the field of semiconductor materials and devices thrives. So, with the USA's Chips and Science Act to onshore semiconductor chip manufacturing, what does this mean to you and your communities. First, the Chips portion supports semiconductor companies to build or expand domestic chip production. The Science portion aims to perform workforce development to populate those factories. Where will this new workforce come from and what do you need to do to prepare for your future? This talk aims to take a critical look at the opportunities before you in the semiconductor industry. With time permitting and audience interest, some discussion in humanitarian roles IEEE plays will also be discussed. Speaker(s): Paul Berger, PhD Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/434305

Abstract: Phase-change materials (PCMs) have emerged as a promising platform to modulate light in a nonvolatile manner—a reversible switching between their stable amorphous and crystalline states leads to an impressive refractive index contrast (∆n, ∆k ~1−3). The last decade has seen a growing interest in such a combination of properties for a variety of nonvolatile programmable devices, such as metasurfaces, tunable filters, phase/amplitude modulators, color pixels, thermal camouflage, photonic memories/computing, plasmonics, and more. Thus, PCMs have demonstrated outstanding versatility and integration in low-energy photonic applications. Integrated photonics, in particular, has benefited from the progress of PCMs such as Sb2Se3 and Ge2Sb2Te5 for ultra-compact phase and amplitude modulators, respectively, using all-optical and electro-thermal approaches. These low-energy devices allow small-form-factor quasi-passive silicon photonics, i.e. silicon photonics with zero-static power, yet with the ability to reconfigure actively—crucial properties in applications such as in-memory computing, optical synapses, zero-power photonic switches, trimming, and optical storage. This talk will discuss the fundamental principles and switching mechanisms of PCMs in integrated photonic platforms and the state-of-the-art achievements, current efforts, and open challenges.
