The operating heat of the optical chip can be conducted through the back of the optical chip to the second heat-conducting part, and then dissipated outward through the exposed second heat-conducting part.
[0027] In one alternative implementation, the thermal isolation area is a portion of the insulating part of the circuit board. The first thermally conductive part and the second thermally conductive part are spaced apart and thermally isolated from each other by a portion of the insulating part of the circuit board, so that the first thermally conductive part and the second thermally conductive part will not have thermal crosstalk.

The two sets of second heat-conducting pillars are connected to opposite sides of the second heat-conducting block, serving as second heat-conducting sections. A thermal isolation zone exists between the first and second heat-conducting sections.

On the contrary, the purpose of describing the application in conjunction with embodiments is to cover other options or modifications that may arise based on the claims of this application. To provide a thorough understanding of this application, many specific details will be included in the following description. This application may also be implemented without using these details. Furthermore, to avoid confusion or obscuring the focus of this application, some specific details will be omitted in the description. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0067] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.
[0068] It should be understood that, in the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. The terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0069] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0072] See Figure 1A circuit board assembly 1 according to an embodiment of this application includes: a circuit board 2, an electrical chip 3, and an optical chip 4. The electrical chip 3 is disposed on the circuit board 2, with its back surface 3b facing the circuit board 2. The optical chip 4 is disposed on the circuit board 2, with its back surface 4b facing the circuit board 2. The front surface 3a of the electrical chip 3 and the front surface 4a of the optical chip 4 are electrically connected by a lead 5. A heat-conducting part 6 is embedded in the circuit board 2. The heat-conducting part 6 can be made of a highly thermally conductive material, such as copper. The back surface 3b of the electrical chip 3 and the heat-conducting part 6 are connected, and the back surface 4b of the optical chip 4 is also connected to the heat-conducting part 6.
[0073] Electrical chip 3 and optical chip 4 share a heat-conducting part 6. The operating heat from both chips can be conducted to the heat-conducting part 6 for dissipation. However, the power consumption of electrical chip 3 is greater than that of optical chip 4, and its temperature is higher. Electrical chip 3 is a heat source device, while optical chip 4 is a heat-sensitive device. The operating heat from electrical chip 3 is conducted to optical chip 4 through the heat-conducting part 6, meaning optical chip 4 is heated by electrical chip 3. This thermal crosstalk between electrical chip 3 and the heat source chip degrades the performance of optical chip 4. Figure 1 In the middle, the arrow on the heat-conducting part 6 indicates the direction of heat conduction.
[0074] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 This application provides a circuit board assembly 100, including a circuit board 10, an electrical chip 20, and an optical chip 30. The electrical chip 20 is disposed on the circuit board 10, with its back surface 20b facing the circuit board 10. The optical chip 30 is disposed on the circuit board 10, with its back surface 30b facing the circuit board 10. The front surface 20a of the electrical chip 20 and the front surface 30a of the optical chip 30 are electrically connected. The circuit board 10 is embedded with a first heat-conducting part 40 and a second heat-conducting part 50. The back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20 is connected to the first heat-conducting part 40, and the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30 is connected to the second heat-conducting part 50. A thermal isolation region 60 is formed between the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50.
[0075] exist Figure 3 In the following figures and other accompanying drawings, the arrows on the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 indicate the direction of heat conduction.
[0076] The electrical chip 20 has a front side 20a and a back side 20b that are opposite to each other. The front side 20a of the electrical chip 20 is the pad side, and the back side 20b is the non-pad side and has a metal skin (such as copper skin).
[0077] The optical chip 30 has a front side 30a and a back side 30b facing each other. The front side 30a of the optical chip 30 is the pad side, and the back side 30b is the non-pad side and has a metal skin (such as copper skin).
[0078] The front surface 20a of the electrical chip 20 and the front surface 30a of the optical chip 30 are electrically connected, so that the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 are arranged adjacent to each other or close to each other, and can transmit electro-optical conversion signals between them.
[0079] The circuit board assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment has a circuit board 10 embedded with a first heat-conducting part 40 and a second heat-conducting part 50 that are isolated from each other. The back side 20b of the electrical chip 20 faces the circuit board 10 and is connected to the first heat-conducting part 40. The back side 30b of the optical chip 30 faces the circuit board 10 and is connected to the second heat-conducting part 50. The front side 20a of the electrical chip 20 and the front side 30a of the optical chip 30 are electrically connected and arranged adjacent to each other. The electrical chip 20 is a heat source device, and the operating heat of the electrical chip 20 can be conducted to the first heat-conducting part 40 through the back side 20b of the electrical chip 20, realizing individual heat dissipation of the electrical chip 20. The optical chip 30 is a heat-sensitive device, and the operating heat of the optical chip 30 can be conducted to the second heat-conducting part 50 through the back side 30b of the optical chip 30, realizing individual heat dissipation of the optical chip 30. The first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 are separated by a thermal isolation zone 60. The electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 are kept thermally isolated, and the working heat of the electrical chip 20 is difficult to be conducted to the optical chip 30. This reduces the thermal crosstalk between the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30, resulting in a lower operating temperature rise of the optical chip 30. The performance of the optical chip 30 is maintained or improved, and the reliability of the optical chip 30 is good.
[0080] There are several possible implementation methods for achieving the electrical connection between the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30. Two exemplary implementation methods are given below.
[0081] The first method for implementing electrical connection between electrical chip 20 and optical chip 30: See [link / reference] Figures 2 to 4 The front side 20a of the electrical chip 20 and the front side 30a of the optical chip 30 are electrically connected by a lead 70.
[0082] By using wire bonding, connecting the lead 70 between the front-side pad 20a of the electrical chip 20 and the front-side pad 30a of the optical chip 30, an electrical connection between the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 can be achieved, which is easy to implement. Arranging the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 adjacent to or close to each other can reduce power loss during signal transmission between the two chips.
[0083] Wire bonding (WB), also known as wire bonding, uses metal wires to tightly weld leads 70 to pads under the combined effects of heat, pressure, and ultrasonic energy, achieving electrical interconnection and information exchange between different locations.
[0084] The second method for implementing the electrical connection between electrical chip 20 and optical chip 30: See [link / reference] Figure 5 , Figure 6The front side 20a of the electrical chip 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board 10 via a first lead 71, and the front side 30a of the optical chip 30 is electrically connected to the circuit board 10 via a second lead 72. The first lead 71 and the second lead 72 are electrically connected via traces 11 on the circuit board 10.
[0085] By using wire bonding, different wires are used to connect the front 20a pad of the electrical chip 20 and the front 30a pad of the optical chip 30 to the circuit board 10 respectively. Combined with the wiring 11 of the circuit board 10 to connect the first wire 71 and the second wire 72, the electrical connection between the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 can be achieved, which is easy to implement.
[0086] There are several possible implementation methods when setting the first conductive part. Three implementation methods are given as examples below.
[0087] The first implementation method of the first heat-conducting part 40: see [link / reference] Figure 7 The first heat-conducting part 40 is a first heat-conducting block 41. The first heat-conducting block 41 is embedded in the circuit board 10, with one or both sides of the first heat-conducting block 41 exposed on the surface of the circuit board 10. The first heat-conducting block 41 is not connected to the second heat-conducting part 50 or the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30. The back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20 is connected to the first heat-conducting block 41. The operating heat of the electrical chip 20 can be conducted to the first heat-conducting block 41 through the back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20. Heat is then dissipated outward through the first heat-conducting block 41.
[0088] The second implementation method of the first heat-conducting part 40: see [link / reference] Figure 4 , Figure 8 The first heat-conducting part 40 is a first heat-conducting pillar 42. A through-hole 12 is provided on the circuit board 10, and the first heat-conducting pillar 42 is disposed within the through-hole 12. The two ends of the first heat-conducting pillar 42 are exposed on two opposing surfaces of the circuit board 10. Multiple discrete first heat-conducting pillars 42 can be arranged on the circuit board 10 to improve heat conduction. The back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20 is connected to the first heat-conducting pillar 42. The operating heat of the electrical chip 20 can be conducted to the first heat-conducting pillar 42 through the back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20. Heat is then dissipated outwards through the first heat-conducting pillar 42.
[0089] The third implementation method of the first heat-conducting part 40: see [link / reference] Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9The first heat-conducting part 40 includes a first heat-conducting block 41 and a first heat-conducting pillar 42. The first heat-conducting block 41 is embedded in the circuit board 10 and is not connected to the second heat-conducting part 50 or the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30. A through hole 12 is provided on the circuit board 10, and the first heat-conducting pillar 42 is disposed within the through hole 12.

At least a portion of the first heat-conducting pillar 42 and the first heat-conducting block 41 is exposed on the surface of the circuit board 10. The back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20 is connected to the first heat-conducting pillar 42. The operating heat of the electrical chip 20 can be conducted through the back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20 to the first heat-conducting pillar 42, and then to the first heat-conducting block 41. Heat is dissipated outward through the first heat-conducting block 41 and / or the first heat-conducting pillar 42.
[0090] For example, see Figure 3 The first heat-conducting part 40 includes a first heat-conducting block 41 and two sets of first heat-conducting pillars 42. The two sets of first heat-conducting pillars 42 are located on opposite sides of the first heat-conducting block 41 and connected to the first heat-conducting block 41. The first heat-conducting block 41 can be completely embedded in the circuit board 10, and the two sets of first heat-conducting pillars 42 can be embedded in the circuit board 10. The end of the first heat-conducting pillar 42 away from the first heat-conducting block 41 is exposed on the surface of the circuit board 10. This connects the back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20 to one of the sets of first heat-conducting pillars 42.
[0091] The heat generated by the electrical chip 20 can be conducted through the back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20 to the upper set of first heat-conducting pillars 42, and then sequentially to the first heat-conducting block 41 and the lower set of first heat-conducting pillars 42. Heat is then dissipated outwards through the lower set of first heat-conducting pillars 42.
[0092] There are several possible implementation methods when setting the second conductive part. Three implementation methods are given as examples below.

The back surface 30b of the optical chip 30 is connected to the second heat-conducting pillar 52. The operating heat of the optical chip 30 can be conducted to the second heat-conducting pillar 52 through the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30. Heat is then dissipated outwards through the second heat-conducting pillar 52.
[0095] The third implementation method of the second heat-conducting part 50: see [link / reference] Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 The second heat-conducting part 50 includes a second heat-conducting block 51 and a second heat-conducting pillar 52. The second heat-conducting block 51 is embedded in the circuit board 10 and is not connected to the first heat-conducting part 40 or the back surface 20b of the electronic chip 20. A through hole 13 is provided on the circuit board 10, and the second heat-conducting pillar 52 is disposed within the through hole 13. The second heat-conducting pillar 52 is connected to the second heat-conducting block 51. At least a portion of the second heat-conducting pillar 52 and the second heat-conducting block 51 is exposed on the surface of the circuit board 10. The back surface 30b of the optical chip 30 is connected to the second heat-conducting pillar 52. The operating heat of the optical chip 30 can be conducted through the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30 to the second heat-conducting pillar 52, and then to the second heat-conducting block 51. Heat is dissipated outward through the second heat-conducting block 51 and / or the second heat-conducting pillar 52.
[0096] For example, see Figure 3 The second heat-conducting part 50 includes a second heat-conducting block 51 and two sets of second heat-conducting pillars 52. The two sets of second heat-conducting pillars 52 are located on opposite sides of the second heat-conducting block 51 and connected to it. The second heat-conducting block 51 can be completely embedded in the circuit board 10, and the two sets of second heat-conducting pillars 52 can be embedded in the circuit board 10. The end of the second heat-conducting pillar 52 away from the second heat-conducting block 51 is exposed on the surface of the circuit board 10. This connects the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30 to the upper set of second heat-conducting pillars 52.
[0097] The heat generated by the optical chip 30 can be conducted through the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30 to the upper set of second heat-conducting pillars 52, and then sequentially to the second heat-conducting block 51 and the lower set of second heat-conducting pillars 52. Heat is then dissipated outwards through the lower set of second heat-conducting pillars 52.
[0098] It is understandable that the above three implementation methods of the first heat-conducting part 40 and the three implementation methods of the second heat-conducting part 50 can be arbitrarily selected and combined.
[0099] For example, see Figure 3 , Figure 6The first heat-conducting part 40 includes a first heat-conducting block 41 and a first heat-conducting pillar 42. The second heat-conducting part 50 includes a second heat-conducting block 51 and a second heat-conducting pillar 52.
[0100] For example, see Figure 4 The first heat-conducting part 40 is a first heat-conducting pillar 42. The second heat-conducting part 50 includes a second heat-conducting block 51 and a second heat-conducting pillar 52.
[0101] For example, see Figure 7 The first heat-conducting part 40 is the first heat-conducting block 41, and the second heat-conducting part 50 is the second heat-conducting block 51.
[0102] For example, see Figure 8 The first heat-conducting part 40 is the first heat-conducting pillar 42, and the second heat-conducting part 50 is the second heat-conducting pillar 52.
[0103] For example, see Figure 9 The first heat-conducting part 40 includes a first heat-conducting block 41 and a first heat-conducting pillar 42. The second heat-conducting part 50 is a second heat-conducting pillar 52.
[0104] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first heat-conducting part 40 is exposed on the surface of the circuit board 10. The operating heat of the electrical chip 20 can be conducted to the first heat-conducting part 40 through the back side 20b of the electrical chip 20, and then dissipated to the outside through the exposed first heat-conducting part 40.
[0105] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The second heat-conducting part 50 is exposed on the surface of the circuit board 10. The operating heat of the optical chip 30 can be conducted to the second heat-conducting part 50 through the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30, and then dissipated to the outside through the exposed second heat-conducting part 50.
[0106] There are several possible implementation methods when setting the thermal isolation zone 60. Three implementation methods are given as examples below.
[0107] The first method for implementing thermal isolation zone 60: See [link / reference] Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 9 The thermal isolation zone 60 is part of the insulating part 61 of the circuit board 10.
[0108] When manufacturing the circuit board 10 in which the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 are embedded, the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 are spaced apart and thermally isolated from each other by a portion of the insulating part 61 of the circuit board 10, so that the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 will not have thermal crosstalk. The portion of the insulating part 61 of the circuit board 10 is part of the insulating layer of the circuit board 10 itself.
[0109] The second method for implementing thermal isolation zone 60: See [link / reference] Figure 10 The thermal isolation zone 60 is a thermal isolation part 62 disposed within the circuit board 10. The thermal conductivity of the thermal isolation part 62 is less than that of the first thermally conductive part 40, and the thermal conductivity of the thermal isolation part 62 is less than that of the second thermally conductive part 50. Thermal conductivity, also known as thermal conductivity coefficient or thermal conductivity, is a physical quantity that represents the magnitude of a material's ability to conduct heat.
[0110] During the fabrication of the circuit board 10, the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 are kept apart, and a thermal isolation part 62 with low thermal conductivity is provided between the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 to reduce thermal crosstalk between the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50.
[0111] The thermal insulation part 62 can be made of a material with low thermal conductivity, such as resin or glass fiber.
[0112] The third method for implementing thermal isolation zone 60: See [link / reference] Figure 11 The thermal isolation area 60 is a slot 63 provided on the circuit board 10. During the fabrication of the circuit board 10, the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 are kept apart, and the slot 63 is provided in the area of the circuit board 10 between the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50 to reduce thermal crosstalk between the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50.
[0113] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The electrical chip 20 includes at least one of a driver (DRV) chip, a transimpedance amplifier (TIA), and an optical digital signal processor (oDSP).
[0114] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The optical chip 30 includes at least one of a semiconductor laser, a semiconductor detector, a silicon photonic chip, and a light-emitting diode (LED).
[0115] Semiconductor lasers can be directly modulated lasers (DML), vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL), or electroabsorption modulated lasers (EML).
[0116] For example, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The circuit board assembly 100 is used in an optical module. The circuit board 10 includes a DRV chip (electrical chip 20) and a VCSEL (optical chip 30). Multiple first heat-conducting pillars 42 are embedded in the circuit board 10 corresponding to the DRV chip positions, serving as first heat-conducting sections 40. Two sets of second heat-conducting pillars 52 and a second heat-conducting block 51 are embedded in the circuit board 10 corresponding to the VCSEL positions. The two sets of second heat-conducting pillars 52 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the second heat-conducting block 51, serving as second heat-conducting sections 50. A thermal isolation zone 60 is formed between the first heat-conducting sections 40 and 50. The electrical chip 20 dissipates heat independently through the first heat-conducting section 40, and the optical chip 30 dissipates heat independently through the second heat-conducting section 50. The operating heat of the electrical chip 20 is difficult to conduct to the optical chip 30, reducing thermal crosstalk between the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 during operation.
[0117] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first heat-conducting part 40 is made of copper, aluminum, or gold. These first heat-conducting parts 40 have high thermal conductivity. The operating heat of the electrical chip 20 can be conducted to the first heat-conducting part 40 through the back surface 20b of the electrical chip 20, and then efficiently dissipated to the outside through the first heat-conducting part 40.
[0118] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The second heat-conducting part 50 is made of copper, aluminum, or gold. These second heat-conducting parts 50 have high thermal conductivity. The operating heat of the optical chip 30 can be conducted to the second heat-conducting part 50 through the back surface 30b of the optical chip 30, and then efficiently dissipated to the outside through the second heat-conducting part 50.
[0119] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The front side 20a of the electrical chip 20 and the circuit board 10 can be electrically connected via leads (not shown). By using wire bonding, the leads are connected between the pads on the front side 20a of the electrical chip 20 and the pads on the circuit board 10, which can easily achieve the electrical connection between the electrical chip 20 and the circuit board 10.
[0120] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4The electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 can be respectively bonded to the circuit board 10 using different thermally conductive patches (not shown), facilitating their assembly on the circuit board 10. The heat generated by the electrical chip 20 can be conducted from its back surface 20b to the first thermally conductive part 40 via the thermally conductive patch, and then dissipated to the outside by the first thermally conductive part 40. Similarly, the heat generated by the optical chip 30 can be conducted from its back surface 30b to the second thermally conductive part 50 via the thermally conductive patch, and then dissipated to the outside by the second thermally conductive part 50.

[0122] In other embodiments, see Figure 12 The electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 are located on opposite surfaces of the circuit board 10. This method enables electrical connection between the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30. The front side 20a of the electrical chip 20 is electrically connected to the circuit board 10 via a first lead 71, and the front side 30a of the optical chip 30 is electrically connected to the circuit board 10 via a second lead 72. The first lead 71 and the second lead 72 are electrically connected via traces 11 on the circuit board 10.
[0123] In some embodiments, see Figures 2 to 4 The circuit board 10 can be a rigid printed circuit board 10a. The electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 are located on the same surface of the circuit board 10, or they can be located on opposite surfaces of the circuit board 10.
[0124] In other embodiments, see Figure 13 The circuit board 10 can be a stacked structure of a flexible circuit board 10b and a reinforcing sheet 10c. The electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 are located on the side of the flexible circuit board 10b facing away from the reinforcing sheet 10c. The reinforcing sheet 10c enhances the structural strength of the flexible circuit board 10b. The reinforcing sheet 10c can be a steel sheet, etc.
[0125] See Figures 2 to 4 This application provides an optical module, including the circuit board assembly 100 described above.
[0126] An optical module is an optoelectronic device that enables photoelectric conversion and electro-optical conversion during optical signal transmission.
[0127] An optoelectronic conversion module is an optical module, also known as a fiber optic transceiver. It is an Ethernet transmission media conversion unit that converts short-distance twisted-pair electrical signals to long-distance optical signals.
[0128] The packaging forms of optical modules can be quad small form factor pluggable-doubledensity (QSFP-DD), octal small form factor pluggable (OSFP), octal small form factor pluggable-extra dense (OSFP-XD), centum form factor pluggable (CFP), etc.

The electrical chip 20 is a heat source device, and the operating heat of the electrical chip 20 can be conducted to the first heat-conducting part 40 through the back side 20b of the electrical chip 20, realizing independent heat dissipation of the electrical chip 20. The optical chip 30 is a heat-sensitive device, and the operating heat of the optical chip 30 can be conducted to the second heat-conducting part 50 through the back side 30b of the optical chip 30, realizing independent heat dissipation of the optical chip 30. A thermal isolation zone 60 is formed between the first heat-conducting part 40 and the second heat-conducting part 50, keeping the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30 thermally isolated. The operating heat of the electrical chip 20 is difficult to be conducted to the optical chip 30, reducing thermal crosstalk between the electrical chip 20 and the optical chip 30, resulting in a lower operating temperature rise of the optical chip 30, maintaining or improving the performance of the optical chip 30, and improving the reliability of the optical chip 30.
