Nowdays, integrating quantum functionalities into photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is attracting considerable attention. A major breakthrough would involve the monolithic integration on a compact CMOS-compatible silicon chip that simultaneously handles the generation, processing and detection of single photons. This paper presents a solution to integrate monolithically photonic architectures with photon detectors on the same fully CMOS compatible chip.
