An optical apparatus including an optical substrate having an embedded waveguide and an optical device adapted to receive light transmitted from an end of the waveguide. The optical apparatus includes a coupling structure for coupling the optical device to the substrate. The coupling structure has a thin metallic layer with an aperture. At least a portion of the optical device is disposed in the aperture. A method for making an optical apparatus comprising forming an optical substrate having a waveguide embedded therein; depositing a metal layer over an end of the waveguide; and depositing a polymeric layer over the metal layer. An aperture is formed in the metal layer and in the polymeric layer by removing a portion of the metal layer and a portion of the polymeric layer disposed over the end of the waveguide. The method for making an optical apparatus also comprises inserting at least a portion of an optical device within the aperture so that the optical device is positioned to receive light from the first end of the waveguide.

Improved methods and articles used to fabricate flexible circuit structures are disclosed. The methods include depositing a release layer or a dielectric film on a substrate, and then forming a conductive laminate on the release layer or the dielectric film. The conductive laminate may be easily separated by the substrate to eventually form a flexible circuit structure. Plasma may be used to treat a surface of the release layer or the dielectric film to produce a plasma-treated surface to lower the peel strength of any film or layer bound to the plasma-treated surface.
摘要:
A method for joining large area semiconductor substrates, a liquid thermoset polymer. Two large area substrates, such as wafers or circuit boards (e.g., rigid or flexible), can be joined together by dispensing a liquid polymer inwardly from the edges of the semiconductor substrates. The substrates can then be pressed together so that the liquid thermoset flows in an outwardly direction ward the edges of the semiconductor substrates. Conducting surfaces on the first and second substrates may contact each other after pressing the liquid thermoset polymer. The liquid thermoset polymer in the formed structure may then be cured to a hardened state. The liquid thermoset polymer preferable has a low viscosity, low levels of ionic contaminants, good adhesion to the substrates, low moisture absorbing properties and favorable thermal expansion properties.

摘要:
An optoreflective structure for reflecting an optical signal following a path defined by an optical waveguide comprising a first cladding layer having a first planar cladding surface; a waveguide disposed on the first cladding layer; and a second cladding layer disposed on the waveguide and having a second planar cladding surface. The first cladding layer, the second cladding layer and the waveguide terminate in a generally dove-tailed structure having a beveled planar surface. An optoreflector is disposed on the beveled planar surface for a changing direction of an optical signal passing through the waveguide. Methods of producing the optoreflective structure are disclosed.

Disclosed are venting hole structures suitable for AC grounding planes in multichip modules (MCMs) and the like. Such structures may be constructed from alternating layers of metal and dielectric materials, such as copper and polyimide, respectively. The venting structures according to the present invention are formed in the metal layers of grounding planes and enable gases trapped within the underlying dielectric layers to escape (so as to prevent delamination) without disturbing the function of the AC grounding plane to provide controlled impedance characteristics for signal lines disposed above and below the grounding plane.
