摘要:
A cooling system for an electronic component on a component carrier is provided. The system includes a frame, a spray manifold, and a sealing member. The frame has an opening and is connectable to the component carrier so that an annular area is defined between the opening and the electronic component. The spray manifold is sealed over the opening to define a spray area over a back surface of the electronic component. The spray manifold sprays a cooling fluid on the back surface. The sealing member seals the annular region so that input/output connectors on the component carrier are isolated from the cooling fluid.

Assemblies for dissipating heat from integrated circuits and circuit chips are disclosed. The assemblies include a low melt solder as a thermal interface material (TIM) for the transfer of heat from a chip to a heat sink (HS), wherein the low melt solder has a melting point below the maximum operating temperature of the chip. Methods for making the assemblies are also disclosed.

Optical devices, components and methods for mounting optical fibers and for side-coupling light to/from optical fibers using a modified silicon V-groove, or silicon V-groove array, wherein V-grooves, which are designed for precisely aligning/spacing optical fibers, are “recessed” below the surface of the silicon. Optical fibers can be recessed below the surface of the silicon substrate such that a precisely controlled portion of the cladding layer extending above the silicon surface can be removed (lapped). With the cladding layer removed, the separation between the fiber core(s) and optoelectronic device(s) can be reduced resulting in improved optical coupling when the optical fiber silicon array is connected to, e.g., a VCSEL array.

Apparatus and methods are provided for enabling wafer-scale encapsulation of microelectromechanical (MEM) devices (e.g., resonators, filters) to protect the MEMs from the ambient and to provide either a controlled ambient or a reduced pressure. In particular, methods for wafer-scale encapsulation of MEM devices are provided, which enable encapsulation of MEM devices under desired ambient conditions that are not determined by the deposition conditions of a sealing process in which MEM release via holes are sealed or pinched-off, and which prevent sealing material from being inadvertently deposited on the MEM device during the sealing process.

An optoelectronic assembly for an electronic system includes a support electronic chip set configured for at least one of providing multiplexing, demultiplexing, coding, decoding and optoelectronic transducer driving and receive functions. A first substrate having a first surface and an opposite second surface is in communication with the support electronic chip set via the first surface while a second substrate is in communication with the second surface of the first substrate. The second substrate is configured for mounting at least one of data processing, data switching and data storage chips. An optoelectronic transducer is in signal communication with the support electronic chip set and an optical fiber array is aligned at a first end with the optoelectronic transducer and with an optical signaling medium at a second end. An electrical signal from the support electronic chip set is communicated to the optoelectronic transducer via an electrical signaling medium, and the support electronic chip set and the optoelectronic transducer share a common thermal path for cooling.

CPV modules include a back plate having an array of 1 mm2 or smaller solar cells thereon. A backplane interconnect network is also provided on the back plate. This backplane interconnect network operates to electrically connect the array of solar cells together. A front plate, which is spaced-apart from the back plate, is provided. This front plate includes an array of primary lenses thereon that face the array of solar cells. The front plate can be configured to provide a greater than 1000× lens-to-cell light concentration to the array of solar cells. To achieve this 1000× lens-to-cell light concentration, the primary lenses can be configured as plano-convex lenses having a lens sag of less than about 4 mm. An array of secondary optical elements may also be provided, which extend between the array of primary lenses and the array of solar cells.
