In the last years the concept of building-block approach and circuit-model simulation in photonics has been thoroughly developed and is now becoming a pervasive methodology for Silicon, Indium Phosphide and dielectric based generic integration technologies. The current status and prospects of the BB approach, the concept, the potential and the limits are discussed focusing on materials, technologies, software tools and characterization techniques. Statistical analysis, yield and tolerance aspect are addressed too. The effort of introducing Photonics Design Kits is described and a comparison between the various technologies is presented. Successful examples based on our experience are presented and discussed and a tentative roadmap proposed.

Abstract
In the last years the concept of building-block approach and circuit-model simulation in photonics has been thoroughly developed and is now becoming a pervasive methodology for Silicon, Indium Phosphide and dielectric based generic integration technologies.
