Abstract
Description
特許文献1には、ステムとフレキシブル配線基板との結合部分におけるエネルギー損失を抑制するために、ステムのグランド面とフレキシブル配線基板のグランド面とを接触させたTO-CAN(Transistor Outlined CAN)型TOSA(Transmitter Optical Sub-Assembly)モジュールが示されている。
この種の光モジュールは、グランドピンは細く、細いままステムの外表面にグランドピンを溶接したのでは、ステムの外表面とグランドピンとの固定が不十分になりやすいため、ステムの外表面との溶接部分、つまり、グランドピンの根元部分に直径が他の部分の直径より大きくした溶接部を設けるのが一般的である。
スルーホールの穴径を大きくとると、フレキシブル配線基板に形成される配線に使用できる面積が減り、配線設計の自由度が減ってしまうという課題がある。
実施の形態1に係る光モジュールを図1から図4を用いて説明する。
なお、各図中、同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示す。
本開示が対象とする光モジュールは、発光素子である光通信用の半導体レーザが搭載された光送信モジュール、受光素子である光通信用のフォトダイオードが搭載された光受信モジュール、光通信用の半導体レーザ及び光通信用のフォトダイオードが搭載された光送受信モジュールのCANパッケージ型光モジュールである。
実施の形態1では、光送信モジュールを例にとり説明するが、ステムと、フレキシブル配線基板(FPC:Flexible printed circuits)と、信号用リードピンと、グランドピンと、プレートとの関係は、光受信モジュール及び光送受信モジュールにおいても同じである。
光モジュール本体1は、ステム10、レンズキャップ11と、レンズ12と、信号用リードピン13と、グランドピン14と、熱電クーラー15と、台座16と、サブマウント17と、半導体レーザである半導体発光素子18と、終端抵抗19と、誘電体基板20を備える。
ステム10は半導体発光素子18のヒートシンクとして機能するとともに、内平面10aが部品実装用の領域となる。
なお、ステム10は円板状に限られるものでなく、円柱状もしくは四角柱状でも良く、内平面10aと内平面10aと平行な外平面10bを有する平板状であれば良い。
ステム10とレンズキャップ11とによりCAN型パッケージを構成する。
信号用リードピン13は、ステム10の内平面10aから突出したインナーリード部13aと、ステム10の外平面10bから突出したアウターリード部13bを具備する。
また、図示していないが、半導体レーザ18及び受光素子などに対する電源ピンも存在し、信号用リードピン13と同様にステム10と電気的に絶縁されて固定される。
グランドピン14は、ピン部14aと接合部14bとの間に段差を有し、接合部14bは、ピン部14aに対して段差部となる。
グランドピン14における接合部14bの接合面とステム10の外平面10bとは溶接により接合される。
熱電クーラー15の上に平板状の台座16が垂直に直立されて固定される。熱電クーラー15を必要としない場合は、台座16は、ステム10の内平面10aに垂直に直立されて固定される。
サブマウント17の一平面には半導体発光素子18が搭載される。
これにより、半導体発光素子18の一方の電極、つまり、一方の信号端子は第1の電極接続領域に電気的に接続される。
また、半導体発光素子18の他方の電極、つまり、他方の信号端子は、サブマウント17の一平面に蒸着等により設けられた第2の電極接続領域に金線22aによって電気的に接続される。
終端抵抗19は半導体発光素子18を駆動するICとのインピーダンス整合をとるための抵抗であり、金線22bによって半導体発光素子18の他方の信号端子に接続される。
誘電体基板20は半導体発光素子18と信号用リードピン13との橋渡し基板としての役割を担う。
第1の信号線領域及び第2の信号線領域それぞれ、別の高周波線路である。
絶縁基板31は、配線パターン32における信号用リードピン13が対向する位置に第1のスルーホール36が形成される。第1のスルーホール36は、図4に示すように、実施の形態1では3つの第1のスルーホール36a~36cが円周に沿って配置されている。
なお、第1のスルーホール36a~36cにおける符号の添字は、説明の簡略のため、省略して説明する場合がある。
アウターリード部13bの先端部が第1のスルーホール36の表面ランドにはんだ39により固着されることにより、信号用リードピン13は第1のスルーホール36を介して配線パターン32に電気的に接続される。
絶縁基板31は、グランドパターン33の露出面におけるグランドピン14が対向する位置に第2のスルーホール37が形成される。
その結果、グランドピン14は、第2のスルーホール37の表面ランド-導通部-裏面ランドを介してグランドパターン33に電気的に接続される。
電源ピンのアウターリード部が第3のスルーホール38を導通部に接して貫通し、電源ピンのアウターリード部の先端部が電源パターンに電気的に接続される。
電源ピンのアウターリード部の先端部が第3のスルーホール38の表面ランドにはんだにより固着されることにより、電源ピンは第3のスルーホール38を介して電源パターンに電気的に接続される。
すなわち、プレート4は、円板状の金属を、信号用リードピン13、グランドピン14及び電源ピンが貫通する部分を連続的にくり抜いたものである。なお、プレート4は、円板状の金属を、信号用リードピン13、グランドピン14及び電源ピンが貫通する部分に穴をあけたものでもよい。
図4に、第1のスルーホール36、第2のスルーホール37、第3のスルーホール38を示している。
なお、導電性テープ5の代わりに他の導電性材料によりプレート4の裏面とステム10の外平面10bとを接合し、固定してもよい。
なお、導電性接着剤6の代わりに他の導電性材料によりプレート4の表面とフレキシブル配線基板3のグランドパターン33の露出面とを接合し、固定してもよい。
ステム10は、導電性テープ5-プレート4-導電性接着剤6を介してフレキシブル配線基板3のグランドパターン33と電気的に接続され、ステム10とグランドパターン33はグランドが共通化される。
すなわち、ピン部14aの径より径が大きい接合部14bに合わせて、グランドピン14のためのスルーホール37の径を大きくする必要がなく、配線設計の自由度が妨げられない。
その結果、導電性テープ5及び導電性接着剤6と合わせて、ステム10とグランドパターン33との電気的及び機械的な接続を確実にかつ強固に維持できる。
比較のために、プレート4を金属製ではなく、ポリイミドからなる絶縁体のプレートを用いた光モジュールにおける周波数に対する通過特性S21も演算した。
図5において、横軸が周波数、縦軸が通過特性S21を示し、実線が実施の形態1に係る光モジュールにおける演算結果、点線が比較例における演算結果である。
図5から理解できるように、実施の形態1に係る光モジュールにおける周波数に対する通過特性S21は、比較例における周波数に対する通過特性S21より良好であることが分かる。
