[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a CPO packaging structure based on a glass carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a glass carrier 1, an ASIC chip 2, a silicon photonic chip 3, an electronic chip 4, a laser element 40, a positioning socket 5 and an optical fiber array 6. The ASIC chip 2, the silicon photonic chip 3 and the positioning socket 5 are all mounted on the glass carrier 1, and the electronic chip 4 and the laser element 40 are respectively arranged on the silicon photonic chip 3; the glass carrier 1 is provided with a redistribution layer 10, the ASIC chip 2 and the electronic chip 4 are electrically connected to the redistribution layer 10, the silicon photonic chip 3 is provided with a waveguide layer 30 inside, and the laser element 40 is optically conductive with the waveguide layer 30; the optical fiber array 6 is also provided with a plug structure 7, which is detachably connected to the positioning socket 5.

[0039] The positioning socket 5 is provided with a first guide portion 51 and a first limiting portion 52, and the plug structure 7 is provided with a second guide portion 71 and a second limiting portion 72. The first guide portion 51 and the second guide portion 71 guide and cooperate along the length direction of the optical fiber array 6, and the first limiting portion 52 and the second limiting portion 72 limit and cooperate along the length direction of the optical fiber array 6; the optical fiber array 6 is also provided with a protruding end 60, which is located on the side of the positioning socket 5 away from the optical fiber body, and the lower part of the protruding end 60 is provided with a first coupling portion 61, and the first coupling portion 61 is optically connected to the optical fiber body; the upper part of the side of the silicon photonic chip 3 close to the positioning socket 5 is provided with a second coupling portion 31, and the second coupling portion 31 is optically connected to the waveguide layer 30, and the first coupling portion 61 and the second coupling portion 31 are optically connected relative to each other up and down.

[0040] This glass-based CPO packaging structure utilizes a glass carrier 1, an ASIC chip 2, a silicon photonic chip 3, an electronic chip 4, a laser element 40, a positioning socket 5, an optical fiber array 6, and a plug structure 7. The ASIC chip 2, the silicon photonic chip 3, and the positioning socket 5 are all mounted on the glass carrier 1. The ASIC chip 2 and the electronic chip 4 are electrically connected to the redistribution layer 10 of the glass carrier 1. The ASIC chip 2 and the electronic chip 4 transmit or receive electrical signals through the redistribution layer 10. The electronic chip 4 and the laser element 40 are each mounted on the silicon photonic chip 3. A waveguide layer 30 is provided within the silicon photonic chip 3. The laser element 40 is optically conductive with the waveguide layer 30, and optical signals are transmitted between the laser element 40 and the optical fiber array 6 through the waveguide layer 30. The silicon photonic chip 3 can convert optical and electrical signals, achieving the purpose of high-speed transmission of optical and electrical signal data.

[0041] The optical fiber array 6 is also equipped with a plug structure 7, which is detachably connected to the positioning socket 5. The positioning socket 5 is provided with a first guide portion 51 and a first stop portion 52, and the plug structure 7 is provided with a second guide portion 71 and a second stop portion 72. The first guide portion 51 and the second guide portion 71 cooperate to accurately install the plug structure 7 in the positioning socket 5 along the length of the optical fiber array 6. The first stop portion 52 and the second stop portion 72 cooperate to effectively define the position of the plug structure 7 relative to the positioning socket 5 along the length of the optical fiber array 5. This not only meets the requirements for flexible insertion and removal between the plug structure 7 and the positioning socket 5, but also ensures the precise positioning of the plug structure 7 and the optical fiber array 6 on the positioning socket 5.

[0042] In addition, the optical fiber array 6 has a protruding end 60, which is located on the side of the positioning socket 5 away from the optical fiber body. A first coupling portion 61 is provided below the protruding end 60, and the first coupling portion 61 is optically connected to the optical fiber body. Correspondingly, a second coupling portion 31 is provided above the side of the silicon photonic chip 3 near the positioning socket 5, and the second coupling portion 31 is optically connected to the waveguide layer 30. The protruding end 60 of the optical fiber array 6 is located on the side of the positioning socket 5 away from the optical fiber body. That is, the protruding end 60 and the first coupling portion 61 are cantilevered from the side of the positioning socket 5. The first coupling portion 61 is vertically opposite the second coupling portion 31 of the silicon photonic chip 3, forming an optical connection. The optical fiber body, the first coupling part 61, the second coupling part 31, the waveguide layer 30 to the PD element 41 form a light receiving path in sequence. Conversely, the laser element 40, the waveguide layer 30, the second coupling part 31, the first coupling part 61 to the optical fiber body form a light emitting path. While ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the entire optical transceiver path, the dependence of the optical fiber array 6 on the carrier board structure is reduced, thereby meeting the requirements of flexible plugging and unplugging and replacing the optical fiber array 6.

[0043] like Figure 6As shown, the protruding end 60 is internally provided with a first reflective surface 62, which is arranged at an angle relative to the length of the optical fiber array 6 and spaced apart from the first coupling portion 61. The silicon photonic chip 3 also internally provides a second reflective surface 32, which is arranged at an angle relative to the waveguide layer 30 and spaced apart from the second coupling portion 31. The optical signal emitted by the laser element 40 is transmitted through the waveguide layer 30 to the second emitting surface 32, where it is reflected and redirected, ensuring that it continues to travel upward through the second coupling portion 31. The optical signal from below is then directed toward the first coupling portion 61 of the protruding end 60 and reflected again by the first reflective surface 62, ensuring that it is accurately transmitted into the optical fiber body. Accordingly, the optical receiving path from the optical fiber body to the PD element 41 is opposite in direction to the aforementioned optical emitting path.

[0044] In this embodiment, the ASIC chip 2, electronic chip 4, and positioning socket 5 are respectively arranged on the upper side of the glass carrier 1, and the redistribution layer 10 is arranged on the bottom side of the glass carrier 1. Furthermore, through-glass vias (TGLs) are provided on the glass carrier 1 corresponding to the ASIC chip 2 and electronic chip 4, respectively, and a through-silicon via (TSV) is provided on the silicon photonic chip 3 corresponding to the electronic chip 4. The TGLs and TSVs are filled with conductors (not shown) that electrically connect the redistribution layer 10 to the ASIC chip 2 or electronic chip 4. The glass carrier 1 has excellent insulation and anti-warpage properties. Using TGLs and TSVs, vertical conductive connections are achieved between the ASIC chip 2, electronic chip 4, and the redistribution layer 10 on the bottom side of the glass carrier 1.

[0045] As a further preferred embodiment, the positioning socket 5 is constructed of glass and is mounted and fixed to the glass carrier 1. A through slot 50 is defined in the center of the positioning socket 5, and a first guide portion 51 and a first stop portion 52 are respectively disposed on the inner wall of the through slot 50. Specifically, the through slot 50 comprises a first slot section 501 and a second slot section 502 connected along the length of the optical fiber array 6, with the opening width of the first slot section 501 being greater than the opening width of the second slot section 502. The first guide portion 51 is a guide rib disposed on the inner wall of the first slot section 501, and the first stop portion 52 is a stop surface disposed between the first slot section 501 and the second slot section 502, and the first stop portion 52 is arranged perpendicular to the length of the optical fiber array 6.

[0046] Correspondingly, the plug structure 7 is wrapped and fixed outside the fiber optic array 6. The plug structure 7 and the end of the fiber optic array 6 form a convex-shaped structure. The second guiding portion 71 is a guiding groove opened on the outer side of the plug structure 7, and the guiding rib and the guiding groove are in concave-convex fit; the second limiting portion 72 is an abutting surface provided on one end face of the plug structure 7, and the abutting surface is arranged perpendicular to the length direction of the fiber optic array 6. By using the concave-convex fit between the end of the fiber optic array 6 and the second groove segment 502, and the concave-convex fit between the plug structure 7 and the second groove segment 502, the insertion matching degree between the fiber optic array 6 and the positioning socket 5 is improved. Moreover, the guiding rib and the guiding groove cooperate with each other, and the stopping surface of the through groove 50 and the abutting surface of the plug structure 7 cooperate with each other, thereby ensuring the insertion assembly accuracy of the fiber optic array 6.

[0047] It should be noted that the opening width of the first groove segment 501 gradually increases in the direction away from the second groove segment 502, and the side wall of the first groove segment 501 corresponding to the opening width direction is further provided with an inclined boss 53; the plug structure 7 is further provided with an elastic locking hook 73 on the side wall in the width direction of the fiber optic array 6. In the insertion state, the elastic locking hook 73 extends into the inner side of the inclined boss 53 along the length direction of the fiber optic array 6, and the inclined boss 53 and the elastic locking hook 73 are in locking cooperation. The gradually increasing opening width of the first groove segment 501 forms a flared opening, which can guide the plug structure 7 to be smoothly inserted into the first groove segment 501. The elastic locking hook 73 of the plug structure 7 enters the inner side of the inclined boss 53, and the inclined boss 53 plays a locking role on the elastic locking hook 73, ensuring the connection reliability between the plug structure 7 and the fiber optic array 6.

[0048] Moreover, a pressing block 54 is installed between the inclined boss 53 and the second groove segment 502. The pressing block 54 is slidably arranged along the opening width direction of the first groove segment 501. An operating handle 55 is hinged on the outer side of the plug structure 7. The operating handle 55 is connected to the pressing block 54, and the pressing block 54 is used for pressing and cooperating with the elastic locking hook 73 when unlocking. Using the operating handle 55 can drive the pressing block 54 to move towards the inner side in the width direction of the fiber optic array 6. The pressing block 54 presses the elastic locking hook 73 to cause it to undergo compressive deformation, thereby ensuring that the elastic locking hook 73 smoothly disengages and unlocks relative to the inclined boss 53.

[0049] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the second groove segment 502 corresponding to the opening width direction is further provided with a third guiding portion 56, and the outer side of the fiber optic array 6 corresponding to the width direction is provided with a fourth guiding portion 74. The third guiding portion 56 and the fourth guiding portion 74 are in guiding cooperation along the length direction of the fiber optic array 6. On the basis of the first guiding portion 51 and the second guiding portion 71, combined with the third guiding portion 56 of the second groove segment 502 and the fourth guiding portion 74 of the fiber optic array 6, the accuracy of the insertion installation is further improved, thereby ensuring the optical signal coupling accuracy between the fiber optic array 6 and the waveguide layer 30.

[0050] In addition, a recessed groove is formed on the glass substrate 1, and the silicon photonic chip 3 is matched with the recessed groove. The silicon photonic chip 3 also integrates a PD element 41 and an MPD element 42. The PD element 41 is arranged corresponding to the receiving waveguide of the waveguide layer 30, and the MPD element 42 is arranged corresponding to the laser element 40. Accommodating and mounting the silicon photonic chip 3 in the recessed groove of the glass substrate 1 effectively reduces the thickness of the package structure. The silicon photonic chip 3 integrates the PD element 41 and the MPD element 42. The PD element 41, also known as a photodiode, is used to receive optical signals and convert them into electrical signals. The MPD element 42, combined with the laser element 40, is used to convert electrical signals into optical signals, achieving the purpose of high-speed transmission of optical and electrical signals.

[0051] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
