Microfabricated surface-electrode ion traps provide a scalable platform for trapped-ion quantum processors. However, as chip size increases, edge clipping of free-space lasers addressing ions closely above the chip surface becomes a concern. To address this, optical waveguides and grating couplers can be embedded within the chip structure. Further, laser-free gates with chip-integrated microwave conductors have been demonstrated. The combination of both techniques significantly increases the complexity of the trap design and microfabrication. We present an overview of our recently developed single- and multilayer trap architectures with integrated microwave conductors and outline the possible integration of optical elements into these or future devices. In particular, we investigate routing strategies for electrical and optical signal paths for high interconnect density, signal integrity, and fabrication feasibility.
