摘要
We review 10Gb/sec Optical Proximity Communication realized with packaged chips that carry SOI optical waveguides and reflecting mirrors micromachined in silicon. The high precision chip to chip alignment and placement was enabled by a new packaging concept based on the co-integration of pyramidal pit features defined by anisotropic silicon etch and matching high precision micro-spheres. We support this novel packaging approach with measured optical transmission data and discuss the extent of it towards other applications of Proximity Communication.
