摘要:
Optical apparatus, methods of forming the apparatus, and methods of using the apparatus are disclosed herein. In one aspect, an optical apparatus may include a substrate, an on-substrate microlens coupled with the substrate to receive light from an off-substrate light emitter and focus the light toward a focal point, and an on-substrate optical device coupled with the substrate proximate the focal point to receive the focused light. Communication of light in the reverse direction is also disclosed. Systems including the optical apparatus are also disclosed.

An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to distribute clock. At least a metal layer is formed to have a standing-wave structure to distribute a clock signal to receiver end points from a clock source such that the receiver end points are substantially electrically equivalent with respect to the clock source. The metal layer is embedded in dielectric layers made of thick film using a wafer-level thick film (WLTF) process.

An electronic package and method for spatially distributing a clock signal is presented. The electronic package includes a low-loss structure, a semiconductor die, clocking vias, and clock receivers on the die. The low-loss structure is constructed and arranged to be driven by a clock signal and to produce standing waves. The clocking vias are constructed and arranged to connect the low-loss structure to the die and to conduct the standing waves to the die. The clock receivers generate respective synchronous on-chip clock signals based at least in part on the conducted standing waves.

A multi-chip package includes a substrate (110) having a first side (111), an opposing second side (112), and a third side (213) that extends from the first side to the second side, a first die (120) attached to the first side of the substrate and a second die (130) attached to the first side of the substrate, and a bridge (140) adjacent to the third side of the substrate and attached to the first die and to the second die. No portion of the substrate is underneath the bridge. The bridge creates a connection between the first die and the second die. Alternatively, the bridge may be disposed in a cavity (615, 915) in the substrate or between the substrate and a die layer (750). The bridge may constitute an active die and may be attached to the substrate using wirebonds (241, 841, 1141, 1541).

Embodiments of the invention include inductors integrated into a package substrate that have increased thicknesses due to the use of shaped vias, and methods of forming such packages. In an embodiment of the invention an inductor may be formed in a package substrate may include a first inductor line formed on the package substrate. In some embodiments, a shaped via may be formed over the first inductor line. Additional embodiments may include a dielectric layer that is formed over the package substrate, the first inductor line and around the shaped via. In one embodiment, a second inductor line may also be formed over the shaped via. Some embodiments of the invention may include an inductor that is a spiral inductor.

Photonic components are placed on the processor package to bring the optical signal close to the processor die. The processor package includes a substrate to which the processor die is coupled, and which allows the processor die to connect to a printed circuit board. The processor package also includes transceiver logic, electrical-optical conversion circuits, and an optical coupler. The electrical-optical conversion circuits can include laser(s), modulator(s), and photodetector(s) to transmit and receive and optical signal. The coupler interfaces to a fiber that extends off the processor package. Multiple fibers can be brought to the processor package allowing for a scalable high-speed, high-bandwidth interconnection to the processor.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide optical connection techniques and configurations. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a receptacle for mounting on a surface of a package substrate, the receptacle having a pluggable surface to receive an optical coupler plug such that the optical coupler plug is optically aligned with one or more optical apertures of an optoelectronic assembly that is configured to emit and/or receive light using the one or more optical apertures in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the surface of the package substrate when the optoelectronic assembly is affixed to the package substrate. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
