在一些实施例中,第二平台720的上表面还可设有第一接地信号线724。第一接地信号线724可位于EA信号线721的一侧。第一接地信号线724的一端邻近电路板设置,方便电路板上的接地线与第一接地信号线724打线连接。第一接地信号线724可为EA信号线721内的高频信号提供回流路径,减少回路面积和环路面积,减少电磁辐射。
在一些实施例中,第二平台720的上表面还可设有第二接地信号线725。第二接地信号线725可位于EA信号线721的另一侧。第二接地信号线725的一端邻近电路板设置,方便电路板上的接地线与第二接地信号线725打线连接。第二接地信号线725可为EA信号线721内的高频信号提供回流路径,减少回路面积和环路面积,减少电磁辐射。
在一些实施例中,第二接地信号线725与第一接地信号线724分别位于EA信号线721的两侧,第一接地信号线724和第二接地信号线725可为EA信号线721内的高频信号提供回流路径,减少回路面积和环路面积,减少电磁辐射。
如图14所示,在一些实施例中,为实现对第一接地信号线724与接地导电区711导电连接,第二平台720的一侧壁可设有第一延展部726。第一延展部726位于第二平台720的侧壁,第一延展部726的一端与第一接地信号线724连接,第一延展部726的另一端与接地导电区711连接。EA信号线721内的高频信号中一部分经第一接地信号线724流向电路板,另一部分经第一接地信号线724、第一延展部726流向接地导电区711。
在一些实施例中,第二平台720的一侧壁向内凹陷形成第一避让部7201,以缩短第二平台720的侧壁与EA信号线721的距离。第一延展部726可覆盖第一避让部7201的侧壁,以缩短第一延展部726与EA信号线721的距离,减少回路面积和环路面积,减少电磁辐射。
在一些实施例中,第一避让部7201可以是矩形结构,第一避让部7201(具体指截面形状)可以是扇形。第一避让部7201可以是其他形状结构,在此不做具体限定。
在一些实施例中,为实现对第二接地信号线725与接地导电区711导电连接,第二平台720的一侧壁可设有第二延展部727。第二延展部727位于第二平台720的侧壁,第一延展部726的一端与第二接地信号线725连接,第一延展部726的另一端与接地导电区711连接。EA信号线721内的高频信号中一部分经第二接地信号线725流向电路板,另一部分经第二接地信号线725、第二延展部727流向接地导电区711。
在一些实施例中,第二平台720的另一侧壁向内凹陷形成第二避让部7202,以缩短第二平台720的侧壁与EA信号线721的距离。第二延展部727可覆盖第二避让部7202的侧壁,以缩短第二延展部727与EA信号线721的距离,减少回路面积和环路面积,减少电磁辐射。
在一些实施例中,第二避让部7202可以是矩形结构,第二避让部7202可以是扇形。第二避让部7202可以是其他形状结构,在此不做具体限定。
图18为根据一些实施例提供的一种光发射芯片与基板结构示意图五。图19为图18的其他角度示意图。如图18和图19所示,匹配电容723可以是由第一EA信号线7211和第二EA信号线7212之间间隔设置的金属条组成。
在一些实施例中,第一EA信号线7211的一侧可设有第一金属臂728。第一金属臂728与第一EA信号线7211连接。第二EA信号线7212的一侧可设有第二金属臂729。第二金属臂729与第二EA信号线7212连接。第一金属臂728与第二金属臂729之间具有间隙750,使得第一金属臂728与第二金属臂729形成电容结构,第一金属臂728与第二金属臂729形成的电容与第一匹配电阻722并联,可抵消打线的寄生电感,拓展带宽,提高高频性能。在一些实施例中,间隙750内设置若干条第一金属层7281和若干条第二金属层7291。
第一金属层7281的一端电连接第一金属臂728、另一端向第二金属臂729延伸但不与第二金属臂729连接。第二金属层7291电连接第二金属臂729、另一端向第一金属臂728延伸但不与第一金属臂728连接,第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291交错设置。
在本公开一些实施例中,第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291不连接。示例地,相邻的第一金属层7281之间设置第二金属层7291,相邻的第二金属层7291之间设置第一金属层7281,即第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291交替设置,使第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291之间具有如图18和图19所示方向上下正对的局域。
在一些实施例中,若干条第一金属层7281和若干条第二金属层7291之间相互平行,即各第一金属层7281与各第二金属层7291相互平行。
因此,叉指交替设置的第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291形成等效电容,该等效电容与光发射芯片740并联,而光发射芯片740与EA信号线的打线形成寄生电感,该等效电容与寄生电感能够形成幅度合适的LC谐振,以能够在合 适的频率范围内提高光发射组件的带宽,并能保证带宽曲线的平整度。进而当光发射组件连接电路板300时,光发射组件410内的LC谐振效应能够与光发射器件与电路板连接处的谐振效应匹配,有效保证光发射组件410在光模块中使用的高频性能。
在一些实施例中,第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291交错设置可等效形成25-90fF的电容,当然可根据需要改变第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291的形状等获得其他容值的电容,如70-85fF的电容,具体可根据需要仿真设置第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291的形状。
在本公开一些实施例中,第一金属层7281的宽度为15-80μm,第二金属层7291的宽度为15-80μm,第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291之间的间隔为15-80μm,第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291的长度可结合间隔630的宽度进行选择。进一步,第一金属层7281的宽度为20-60μm,第二金属层7291的宽度为20-60μm,第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291之间的间隔为20-60μm
第一金属臂728、第二金属臂729、第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291可通过金属薄膜工艺在第二平台720的本体上形成。
在一些实施例中,第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291可具有相同的长度。第一金属层7281的长度与第二金属层7291的长度也可不同。
在一些实施例中,第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291数量可相同。第一金属层7281与第二金属层7291数量也可不同,在此不做具体限定。
图20为根据一些实施例提供的一种光发射芯片与基板结构示意图六。如图20所示,第一EA信号线7211设有第一金属柱751。第一金属柱751的一端与第一EA信号线7211电连接。第二EA信号线7212设有第二金属柱752。第二金属柱752的一端与第二EA信号线7212电连接。
在一些实施例中,第一金属柱751可位于第一EA信号线7211的上方。
在一些实施例中,第一金属柱751可向第二平台720的内部延伸。第一金属柱751的高度小于第二平台720的高度,以使第一金属柱751不与接地导电区711连接。
在一些实施例中,第二金属柱752可位于第二EA信号线7212的上方。
在一些实施例中,第二金属柱752可向第二平台720的内部延伸。第二金属柱752的高度小于第二平台720的高度,以使第二金属柱752不与接地导电区711连接。第一金属柱与所述第二金属柱不连接。
第一金属柱751与第二金属柱752之间的距离可根据实际需要进行设置,在此不做限定。
