This work presents the design concept of integrating a polymer lens, poly-Si MUMPs and single-crystal-silicon HARM structures on a SOI wafer to form a silicon optical bench. This approach enables the monolithic integration of various optical components on the wafer so as to improve the design flexibility of the silicon optical bench. Fabrication processes, including surface and bulk micromachining on the SOI wafer, have been established to realize bi-convex spherical polymer lenses with in-plane as well as out-of-plane optical axes. In addition, a micro device consisting of an in-plane polymer lens, a thick fiber holder and a mechanical shutter driven by an electrothermal actuator is also demonstrated using the present approach. In summary, this study significantly improves the design flexibility as well as the functions of SiOBs.
