Background of the Invention

Figure 1 is a front sectional view, illustrating generally, by way of example, but not by way of limitation, one embodiment of packaging an opto-electronic integrated circuit device 100 according to the present invention. This is accomplished in this embodiment by forming top emitter/detector devices on a thinned substrate 110 such that the top emitter/detector devices have a top side 117 across from the thinned substrate 110. In this embodiment the thinned substrate has a bottom side 115 across from the top side 117. Top emitter/detector devices 110 emit and detect light away from the thinned substrate 110. Top emitter/detector devices have top contact pads 113 on the top side 117. In one embodiment the thinned substrate is a wafer of gallium arsenide. In this embodiment the wafer of gallium arsenide includes plurality of top emitter/detector devices. The top emitter device is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (NCSEL) device capable of emitting light away from a planar surface of the substrate, and the top detector device is a metal-semiconductor- metal photodetector device. In this embodiment, the top emitter/detector devices on the thinned substrate 110 are capable of emitting and detecting a light of 850 nanometers wavelength.
An optically transparent superstrate 120 is attached to the top side 117 of the top emitter/detector devices on the thinned substrate 110 such that the optically transparent superstrate 120 is across from the bottom side 115. The optically transparent superstrate has a top surface 125 across from the top side 117. The optically transparent superstrate 120 is made from a wafer of sapphire in this example. In another embodiment, the optically transparent superstrate is a wafer of glass. In a further embodiment, the materials of optically transparent superstrate 120 and the top emitter/detector devices on thinned superstrate 110 have similar thermal properties so that they can withstand rapid thermal cycling introduced during subsequent processing and packaging. The optically transparent superstrate 120 can be bonded to the top emitter/detector devices 110. In this embodiment the bonding adhesive also has thermal properties similar to that of the optically transparent superstrate and the top emitter/detector devices. The optically transparent superstrate 120 is transparent to a light of 850 nanometers wavelength. The thickness of the optically transparent superstrate 120 is sufficient to impart mechanical strength to the thinned substrate including the top emitter/detector devices 110.
The opto-electronic integrated circuit device 100 can further include micro-optic devices 130 attached to the top surface 125 of the optically transparent superstrate 120. In this embodiment the micro-optic devices 130 are aligned with the top emitter/detector devices 110 to provide an optical processing capability to the top emitter/detector devices on the thinned substrate 110. In one embodiment the optical processing includes beam shaping for the top emitter/detector devices 110.
The top side contact pads of the top emitter/detector devices 110 are brought to the bottom side contact pads by a through-the-via metal layer 122. An integrated circuit device 150 is attached to the top emitter/detector devices 110. The bottom side contact pads 140 of the top emitter/detector devices on the thinned substrate 110 can be bump bonded, using solder balls 160, to matching pads 124 of the integrated circuit device 150 to provide a high capacity optical I O capability to the integrated circuit device 150.
Figure 2. is a flow diagram illustrating generally one embodiment of a method 200 of packaging an opto-electronic device having a high density I/O capability to an electronic integrated circuit device. Method 200 includes forming top emitter/detector devices on a top side of a substrate, block 210. In this embodiment, the top emitter/detector devices have top contact pads on the top side. The substrate includes a back side that is across from the top side. The top emitter/detector devices further includes an etch stop layer on the top side. The top emitter device includes a NCSEL capable of emitting light away from the substrate, and the top detector includes a metal-semiconductor-metal PD. Forming of the top emitter/detector devices on the substrate comprises forming 2-dimensional arrays of NCSEL/PD devices on a wafer, which can be of gallium arsenide. The top emitter/detector devices can have a pitch of 50 micrometers or less, and the wafer of gallium arsenide can be about 625 microns in thickness. The top emitter/detector devices on the substrate can be tested and qualified at this point if desired.
The next step 220 in the process is attaching an optically transparent superstrate 120 onto the top side of the top emitter/detector devices such that the optically transparent superstrate has a top surface across from the top side of the substrate 220. The optically transparent superstrate can be made from a material transparent to the light of 850 nanometers wavelength, such as sapphire or glass. The optically transparent superstrate is of sufficient thickness to provide mechanical support to the exposed top emitter/detector devices. The optically transparent superstrate and the top emitter/detector devices can be made of materials having similar thermal properties, to withstand thermal cycling introduced during subsequent processing and packaging.
The next step 230 in the process is exposing the top contact pads to the bottom side 240. This step can be achieved by thinning the substrate from the back side of the substrate such that the top contact pads are exposed to the bottom side. The thinning step can also include forming via in the substrate from the thinned bottom side to expose the top contact pads to the bottom side. A via can be formed by chemically etching the bottom side of the thinned substrate to the etch stop layer, to expose the top contact pads to the bottom side. Alternatively, the forming the via comprises mechanically drilling the bottom side of the thinned substrate to expose the top contact pads to the bottom side. Thinning can be by mechanically lapping the bottom side of the gallium arsenide substrate to a thickness of about 50 microns. The exposing step can also include removing the substrate to expose the top contact pads to the bottom side.
Step 240 in the process includes forming bottom contact pads on the bottom side. The next step 250 includes connecting the bottom contact pads with the top contact pads to bring the top contact pads to the bottom side to form an opto-electronic device. This can be done by plating the bottom contact pads to bring the top contact pads to the bottom side. Plating en include forming through-the-via metal to bring the top contact pads to the bottom side. This has an advantage in that the back side contact pads and matching pads of an integrated circuit device would be in the same plane, making it easy to further bond the opto-electronic device to the integrated circuit device and to provide the capability of having a high density DO to the integrated circuit device. Also, having the back side contact pads and matching pads of an integrated circuit device in the same plane facilitates locating the front side contact pads anywhere as needed, for example to avoid interfering with the location of the emitter/detector devices. Step 260 in the process involves integrating a wafer of micro-optic devices 130 onto the top surface of the optically transparent superstrate 120 such that the micro-optic devices are aligned with corresponding top emitter/detector devices 260 to provide an optical processing capability to them. Optical processing can include, for example, beam shaping, focusing a light beam, filtering the light beam, and tilting the light beam.The wafer of micro-optic devices can be fabricated on a separate substrate, then tested and qualified before integrating it onto the opto-electronic devices. The wafer of micro-optic devices can be bonded to the top surface of the optically transparent superstrate.
Step 270 in the process bonds the opto-electronic devices to the integrated circuit. This can include dicing the opto-electronic devices including the micro-optic devices, to produce opto-electronic chips. Then the back side contact pads of the opto-electronic chips are bump bonded with matching pads of an integrated circuit device to produce an optoelectronic integrated circuit device having a high density optical I/O on an integrated circuit device.
Conclusion
The above described method provides, among other things, an integrated circuit device having a high O capacity in an optical domain. The high I/O capacity is accomplished by forming top emitter/detector devices on a top side of a substrate, wherein the substrate has a bottom side across from the top side. The top emitter/detector devices emit and detect light on the top side. The top emitter/detector have top contact pads on the top side. The top contact pads are brought to the back side by connecting the top contact pads with bottom contact pads. An optically transparent superstrate is attached to the top side of the top emitter/detector devices such that the optically transparent superstrate is across from the bottom side and the optically transparent superstrate has a top surface across from the top side forming an opto-electronic device. Micro-optic devices can be attached to the top surface of the transparent substrate such that the micro-optic devices provide optical processing capability. Then an integrated circuit device is attached to the bottom side of the substrate such that the bottom contact pads are in contact with matching pads of the integrated circuit device to form an opto-electronic integrated circuit device having a high I/O capacity.
