Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques related to incorporating photonics integrated circuitry into a base die, the base die including an optical interconnect at a bottom of the base die to transmit and to receive light signals from outside the base die. The top of the base die includes one or more electrical connectors that are electrically coupled with the photonics integrated circuitry. The base die may be referred to as the photonics die. A system-on-a-chip (SOC) may be electrically coupled with and stacked onto the top of the photonics die. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein may be related to apparatuses, processes, and techniques related to active optical plugs used to cover optical connectors of a photonics package to protect the connectors. The active optical plugs may also be used to perform testing of the photonics package, including generating light to be sent to the photonics package and to detect light received from the photonics package as part of the test protocol. This allows testing the optical connection and the photonics package, without exposing the optical connections of the package to damage from dust or physical contact. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments of alignment fixtures for integrated circuit (IC) packages, and related techniques, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an alignment fixture for an IC package may include: a first socket having a recess dimensioned to receive a first surface of the IC package and having a first magnet arrangement disposed outside of the recess, wherein the IC package has a second surface opposite to the first surface and has a first electrical contact element on the second surface; and a second socket having a second electrical contact element and having a second magnet arrangement. The first and second electrical contact elements may be aligned when the IC package is disposed in the recess, the IC package is disposed between the first and second sockets, and the first magnet arrangement is in a predetermined equilibrium relation with the second magnet arrangement to mate the first and second sockets.

Abstract: A photonic connector comprises a first ferrule having a first plurality of optical fibers. A membrane cover is attached to the first ferrule and covers ends of the first plurality of optical fibers. Once the first ferrule is mated with a second ferrule having a second plurality of optical fibers, the membrane cover is pierced by the first plurality of optical fibers, the second plurality of optical fibers, or both.
