Abstract:
Disclosed is a package structure and a method for manufacturing the same. The package structure comprises: a lead frame; a first light sensor being electrically coupled to the lead frame; a light emitter separated from the first light sensor and being electrically coupled to the lead frame; a first plastic body in which a trench is formed; and a photoresist layer located on a side surface of the first plastic body, wherein the first plastic body is separated by the trench into a first portion covering the light emitter and a second portion covering the first light sensor, the first portion of the first plastic body has the side surface facing the first light sensor. The photoresist layer prevents the light with a specific wavelength from passing through and avoids the influence to the normal operation of the light sensor, so that the anti-interference capacity of the light sensor is ensured and the size of package structure is reduced while the light sensor is integrated.

Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention describe substrates, used to form optical devices, which include high thermal conductivity intermediate layers. Said substrates comprise a bulk layer, an optical device layer comprising a first material, and an intermediate layer disposed between the bulk layer and the device layer comprising a second material having a higher thermal conductivity and a lower index of refraction than the first material.In the resulting devices, said intermediate layer functions as part of the device layer structure—i.e., provides optical or electrical power dissipation (i.e. thermal) functionality for the device formed from said substrate. Thus, optical devices do not necessarily need to utilize an add-on packaging solution for heat absorption when formed from substrate stacks according to embodiments of the invention. Moreover, in some embodiments, said intermediate layer is located at “zero-distance” from the source of the heat generation, thereby efficiently transferring heat out of that region.
Abstract:
An integrated optical device includes a photo-detector (such as germanium) optically coupled to an optical waveguide. This photo-detector is deposited on the optical waveguide, and an optical signal propagating in the optical waveguide may be evanescently coupled to the photo-detector. In order to increase the absorption length of the photo-detector, a mirror (such as a distributed Bragg reflection grating) is included in the optical waveguide near the end of the photo-detector. This mirror reflects the optical signal back toward the photo-detector, thereby increasing the absorption of the optical signal by the photo-detector. In addition, absorption may be reduced by using electrical contacts that are electrically coupled to the photo-detector at locations where the optical mode of the optical signal is largely in the underlying optical waveguide, and by using a fingered metal layer to couple to the electrical contacts.
