Apparatus having an off-substrate optical interconnect and methods of making the same

摘要

Apparatus having an off-substrate optical interconnect and methods of making the same are disclosed. A disclosed apparatus includes a substrate; a mounting connector mounted to the substrate; an integrated circuit mounted to the mounting connector; an optical transceiver mounted to the mounting connector and coupled to the integrated circuit to export and/or import data from and/or to the integrated circuit; and an optical interconnect coupled to the optical transceiver to export and/or import the data from and/or to the optical transceiver without passing the data through the substrate.
