Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a semiconductor packaging technology, and more particularly to an optical packaging structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) related applications, the amount of data that data centers (DCs) need to process is increasing. Currently, the bottleneck of data transmission has shifted from the processor to the transmission interface. In order to increase the amount of data transmitted while reducing power consumption, the Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) structure has been proposed.

[0003] Optical integrated package (CPO) structures mainly integrate electronic integrated circuits (EICs) and photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The packaging design of electronic integrated circuits (EICs) is similar to that of traditional logic integrated circuits. However, the signals transmitted by photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are optical signals and need to be connected to external optical fibers or fiber optic array units (FAUs). Therefore, the packaging design of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) requires special consideration.

[0004] The optical region (optical path) of a common photonic integrated circuit (PIC) is designed on the bump side of the PIC. However, this design makes it difficult for the optical signal of the PIC to be connected to external optical fibers or fiber array units.

[0005] Furthermore, the aforementioned optically integrated package (CPO) structure cannot improve or reduce the potential warpage problem of the optically integrated package (CPO) structure, nor can it easily connect optical fibers or fiber array units to the optical region of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC).

[0006] Therefore, overcoming any of the problems of the existing technologies mentioned above has become an urgent issue to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0011] In the aforementioned optical packaging structure, the substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, photonic elements and electronic elements are disposed on the first surface of the substrate, and reinforcement members are disposed on the first surface or the second surface of the substrate.

[0012] In the aforementioned optical packaging structure, the reinforcement is elongated and is positioned at the slot of the substrate and spans both sides of the slot.

[0013] In the aforementioned optical packaging structure, the reinforcement is a heat sink, a part of which corresponds to the slot in the substrate, and the other part of which covers the surface of the photonic element.

[0015] In the aforementioned optical packaging structure, the reinforcement is a heat sink, a part of which corresponds to the slot in the substrate, and the other part of which covers the surface of the photonic element and the surface of the electronic element.

[0016] The aforementioned optical packaging structure may include a first thermally conductive layer and a second thermally conductive layer, wherein the first thermally conductive layer is formed between the photonic element and the heat sink, and the second thermally conductive layer is formed between the electronic element and the heat sink.

A part of the reinforcement and the optical area of ​​the photonic element both correspond to the slots of the substrate, and the optical area of ​​the photonic element is exposed outside the slots of the substrate. The warping problem of the optical packaging structure can be effectively improved or reduced through the fixing function of the reinforcement. It can also make the optical fiber and / or optical fiber array unit easily connected to the optical area of ​​the photonic element through the slots of the substrate.

[0019] Furthermore, the reinforcement in this application can be a heat sink, and the reinforcement can cover the surface of the photonic element so that the reinforcement can quickly dissipate the heat generated by the photonic element, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation effect of the photonic element.

[0020] Alternatively, the reinforcement in this application can be a heat sink, which can be applied to the surfaces of both the photonic element and the electronic element to rapidly dissipate the heat generated by the photonic element and the electronic element, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation effect of the photonic element and the electronic element.

A portion of the reinforcement 40 may correspond to the slot 11 of the substrate 10 and span across both sides of the slot 11, so that the reinforcement 40 surrounds the periphery of the photonic element 20 and the electronic element 30, so as to effectively improve or reduce the warping problem of the optical packaging structure 1 through the fixing function of the reinforcement 40.

[0064] In one embodiment, the optical packaging structure 1 may include a first primer 22 and a second primer 32. The first primer 22 may be formed between the first surface 10a of the substrate 10 and the photonic element 20 to cover a plurality of first conductors 21, and the second primer 32 may be formed between the first surface 10a of the substrate 10 and the electronic element 30 to cover a plurality of second conductors 31.

[0069] In other words, such as Figure 1 and Figure 1B In the optical packaging structure 1 shown, the reinforcement 40 may have a first side 40a and a second side 40b.
