Waveguide crossings are key components for increasing integration density and routing flexibility. We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, compact, tilted silicon waveguide crossing designed using inverse design methods, specifically optimized to minimize both insertion loss and crosstalk. Through adjoint optimization algorithms and finite-difference time-domain simulations, we achieve a significant reduction in crosstalk from -46 dB at 90° to -54 dB at 86°, with a remarkably low insertion loss of -0.14 dB at 1310 nm. The footprint is further minimized to only 8 × 8 μm
