Methods of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments of those methods include placing an anisotropic conductive layer comprising at least one compliant conductive sphere on at least one interconnect structure disposed on a first substrate, applying pressure to contact the compliant conductive spheres to the at least one interconnect structure, removing a portion of the anisotropic conductive layer to expose at least one of the compliant conductive spheres; and then attaching a second substrate to the anisotropic conductive layer.

An optical connector comprises a housing having a cavity extending there through to accept a mating connector. The connector comprises no optical components. Dummy solder bonding pads positioned on the connector allow the connector to be automated flip-chip bonded over a substrate waveguide.
摘要:
In general, in one aspect, a method includes forming conductive layers on a wafer. A through cavity is formed in alignment with the conductive layers. The through cavity is to permit an optical signal from an optical waveguide within an optical connector to pass therethrough. Alignment holes are formed on each side of the through cavity to receive alignment pins. The wafer having the conductive layers, the through cavity in alignment with the conductive layers, and the alignment holes on each side of the through cavity forms an optical-electrical (O/E) interface. An O/E converter is mounted to the metal layers in alignment with the through cavity. The alignment pins and the alignment holes are used to passively align the optical waveguide and the O/E converter.

摘要:
A method for aligning at least two photonic components over an interposer, and an optical package that may align such components. The method may include providing an interposer; fabricating electrical conductors passing from one surface of the interposer to an opposite surface of the interposer at selected contact positions; soldering the photonic components over the selected contact positions on the first surface, while allowing solder self-alignment. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
