METHOD FOR PASSIVE ALIGNMENT OF OPTICAL COMPONENTS TO A SUBSTRATE

摘要

A method for placing components on a substrate, the method comprising determining a reference point of a mechanical holding jig based upon a plurality of mechanical features of the mechanical holding jig and placing the substrate into the jig such that mechanical features on the substrate align with the mechanical features on the mechanical holding jig. A location of the substrate is determined with the reference point of the mechanical holding jig. The method continues by installing a plurality of first components onto the substrate aligned to the mechanical holding jig. The substrate is removed from the mechanical holding jig and a second component is placed onto the substrate to cover the plurality of first components. The second component is placed onto the substrate to align a plurality of references points of the second component to the mechanical features on the substrate. The second component is secured to the substrate.
