Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor packaging, and more specifically, to an optical chip packaging structure. Background Technology

[0002] In existing optical chip packaging structures, component bonding problems often occur in light sources or reflectors, causing the component mounting positions to shift, which in turn causes the propagation path of the optical signal to shift, affecting the performance of the packaging structure.

[0003] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a prior art optical chip packaging structure is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the existing optical chip packaging structure includes a chip 901, a substrate 902, an adhesive layer 903, a light source 904, and a reflective unit 905. The chip 901 is provided with an optical pad 901a for receiving optical signals, and the substrate 902 is provided with a circuit layer 902a. The dashed rectangle and dashed triangle in the figure represent the designed installation positions of the light source 904 and the reflective unit 905, respectively. It can be seen that there is an error between the actual installation positions of the solid light source 904 and the designed installation positions of the dashed lines. This leads to a difference between the designed optical signal path of the dashed arrow and the actual optical signal path of the solid line. As a result, the optical signal emitted by the light source 904 cannot enter the optical pad 901a correctly, which will cause poor product performance and reduce the yield of the product manufacturing process.
