A new approach for fabricating spot size converters (SSCs), using self-written tapered pillars, is reported.  The method uses a UV-curable resin and mask transfer technique in order to fabricate pillar structures. These structures are designed to couple from Si-wire waveguides to silica single mode fiber (SMF).The technique improvises upon classic single shot fabrication, previously reported using an aperture-limited self-written waveguide (SWW) approach. Design optimization of the SSC was inferred through using a beam propagation method (BPM).
