ENHANCED LOW INDUCTANCE INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN ELECTRONIC AND OPTO-ELECTRONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

摘要

A configuration for routing electrical signals between a conventional electronic integrated circuit (IC) and an opto-electronic subassembly is formed as an array of signal paths carrying oppositely-signed signals on adjacent paths to lower the inductance associated with the connection between the IC and the opto-electronic subassembly. The array of signal paths can take the form of an array of wirebonds between the IC and the subassembly, an array of conductive traces formed on the opto-electronic subassembly, or both.
