  • Patent number: 6181864
    Abstract: A fiber array module using soldering, and a fabrication method thereof, in which the method includes the steps of: forming holes into which optical fibers can be inserted, in a silicon wafer substrate or a ceramic substrate at predetermined intervals, forming a metal layer on the walls of the holes and the entire surface of the substrate, to allow walls of the holes and an entire surface of the substrate to be plated with a solder alloy material; plating the walls of the holes and the entire surface of the substrate with the solder alloy material; inserting metal-coated optical fibers into the holes plated with the solder alloy material; positioning the optical fibers at the centers of the holes using the surface tension of the solder alloy material, by heating the resultant structure; fixing the optical fibers, inserted into the holes of the substrate, to the substrate by pouring epoxy curable by heat or ultraviolet light thereon, to fabricate a fiber array module capable of being accurately attached to an o
