Microelectronic Substrates for Optoelectronic Packages
نویسندگان
چکیده
lectronic systems with the increased functionality and speed required in today’s advanced applications are placing a performance burden on the interconnection and packaging technologies that standard electrical “wiring” approaches simply cannot support. Engineering staff at APL recognized this trend several years ago, and in a collaborative effort with The Johns Hopkins University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, APL has been developing various microelectronic packages that support both electrical and optical signals and facilitate the translation between them. Work has begun to fabricate microelectronic substrates that use integrated optical waveguides to raise the level of the total system’s performance as needed. This report will present some of the current technology for optoelectronic packages, an overview of the process technologies being developed industry-wide to meet the need, and details on related work within the Research and Technology Development Center and the Engineering, Design, and Fabrication Branch of the Technical Services Department here at APL.

A Thermomechanical Model for Warpage Prediction of Microelectronic Packages
The thermomechanical warpage or vertical deflection of microelectronic packages due to temperature change is caused by the mismatch in the coefficients of thermal expansion between vertically asymmetric layers of materials. The structure of many microelectronic packages may be characterized as a multi-layered plate consisting of two regions, that of a die area and a mold area. Physical observat...
