Ceramic waferboard

摘要

An optoelectronic module includes a ceramic waferboard having a groove configured to passively position an optical fiber. The ceramic waferboard includes an alignment feature configured to passively position an optical component. An optical device is secured to the ceramic waferboard in contact with the alignment feature to thereby position the optical device. An optical fiber is positioned in the groove with an end of the optical fiber positioned adjacent the optical device to thereby optically couple the optical fiber to the optical device. The optoelectronic module also includes an integrated circuit chip secured to the ceramic waferboard, and a conductive material disposed on the ceramic waferboard and electrically coupling the integrated circuit chip to the optical device.
