摘要:
A method of fabricating a microelectronic package having a direct contact heat spreader, a package formed according to the method, a die-heat spreader combination formed according to the method, and a system incorporating the package. The method comprises metallizing a backside of a microelectronic die to form a heat spreader body directly contacting and fixed to the backside of the die thus yielding a die-heat spreader combination. The package includes the die-heat spreader combination and a substrate bonded to the die.

Optical devices and methods for constructing the same are disclosed. An example optical device includes an optical transmitter, a photodetector and a waveguide optically coupling the optical transmitter and the photodetector. It also includes a substrate having a first cavity to receive the optical transmitter and a second cavity to receive the second transmitter. The first and second cavities are located and dimensioned to passively align the optical transmitter, the waveguide and the photodetector when the transmitter is inserted into the first cavity and the photodetector is inserted into the second cavity.

Optical packages are disclosed. In one aspect, an optical package may include a surface, a microelectronic device coupled with the surface, a first waveguide coupled with the microelectronic device, a second waveguide having a first end that is evanescently coupled with the first waveguide and a second end, a first thickness of a cladding material disposed between the second end and the surface, and a second thickness of a cladding material disposed between the first end and the first waveguide. The first thickness may be greater than the second thickness. Methods of making the optical packages are also disclosed. Apparatus and methods of aligning operations on optical packages are also disclosed.

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.
