Integrated fiber alignment photodetector

摘要

An integrated fiber alignment photodetector is provided by forming a plurality of photodiodes on a first substrate. A corresponding plurality of through holes are formed in a second substrate, which is then aligned to the first substrate and bonded thereto to form a fiber alignment photodetector assembly. Individual fiber alignment photodiodes may then be diced from the assembly. The through hole on each individual fiber alignment photodiode provides a guide for the insertion of an optical fiber, which may then be bonded within the through hole to complete a fiber alignment photodetector.
