摘要:
The present invention generally relates to an air cavity plastic package (100) for a high frequency optical device. In one aspect, a module package (100) for a high frequency optoelectronic device is provided. The module package includes an upper plastic housing (125) having an upper cavity (130) formed therein and a lower plastic housing (150) having a lower cavity (155) formed therein. The upper housing and the lower housing are configured to mate together such that the cavities form an enclosed air cavity between the housings. Additionally, upon creating a seal between the housings, an optical feed through is realized. The module package further includes a plurality of conductors (160,180) disposed in the lower housing, each conductor having an upper end (160B,180B) and a lower end (160A,180A), wherein the upper end is connectable to a chip (105) disposed in the air cavity and the lower end is connectable to a board. In another aspect, a method of packaging and assembling a high frequency optical device is provided. In yet another aspect, a package assembly for an electro-optical modulator is provided.
摘要:
A package design for electro-optic devices has been developed in which the substrate (21) supporting the electro-optic element (11) serves also as the base of the device housing (31). The electro-optic element may be flip-chip bonded to the substrate. In a preferred embodiment the substrate (21) is a multi-level wiring board.
