  • Flexible optoelectronic circuit and associated method
    Patent number: 6763156
    Abstract: A flexible optoelectronic circuit is assembled on and released from a substrate, and therefore independent of a substrate. The substrate includes semiconductor substrates having a release layer. The release layer is etched to release the optoelectronic circuit such that the resulting circuit is flexible. Both optical elements, such as waveguides, and conductive elements are formed in layers, generally between insulating layers. The elements may be formed and patterned using standard semiconductor manufacturing techniques.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 12, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 13, 2004
    Assignee: MCNC
    Inventors: William Devereux Palmer, Richard LaBennett
