  • Patent number: 9057853
    Abstract: An optoelectronic apparatus is described herein, including a transmitter, a receiver, and an optical waveguide, all of which are embedded in a PCB. The transmitter includes a laser generator and other circuits for generating electrical and optical signals, which are transmitted through the waveguide to the receiver. The receiver includes circuits and detectors for detecting and converting the optical signals to electrical signals. The circuit and optical components of the transmitter and receiver are integrated in 3D hybrid chip sets where the chip components are stacked in a 3D structure. Because all of the circuit and optical components are embedded in the PCB, the apparatus is made very compact and suitable for implementation in portable products.

  • Patent number: 8604603
    Abstract: An apparatus having a three-dimensional integrated circuit structure is described herein. The apparatus include an interposer for carrying a plurality of high and low-power chips. The high-power chips are attached and connected to one side of the interposer, while the low-power chips are attached and connected to the other side of the interposer. In generally, the high-power chips produce more heat than does the low-power chip during their operations. The interposer further include through silicon vias and redistribution layers for connecting the chips on both surfaces. In addition, the interposer assembly is attached and connected to a substrate layer, which is in turn attached and connected to a printed circuit board. In order to provide improve thermal management, the interposer surface carrying the high-power chips are oriented away from the circuit board. A heat spreader is attached to the back sides of the high-power chips for dissipating the heat.
