    摘要: A structure that possesses the combined properties of carrying signals through the provision of a series of electrical conductors, and by optical signals through the intermediary of a series of optical waveguides. This imparts a particular advantage thereto for the fabrication of optical data links, providing a convenient, compact method of interconnecting electrical paths to transducer chips and to waveguide structures. This approach solves the problem of connecting polymer waveguides to VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity-Surface-Emitting Laser) arrays, thereby avoiding the problem of damaging fragile wire bonds. A method is also provided which utilizes the foregoing structure.

    摘要: Method of fabricating a semiconductor die with a microlens associated therewith. More particularly, a method for fabricating a vertical channel guide optical via through a silicon substrate wherein the optical via can contain lens elements, a discrete index gradient guiding pillar and other embodiments. Also disclosed are means for transferring, coupling and or focusing light from an electronic-optical device on the top of a semiconductor substrate through the substrate to a waveguiding medium below the substrate. The high alignment accuracies afforded by standard semiconductor fabrication processes are exploited so as to obviate the need for active alignment of the optical coupling or light guiding elements.
