  • Patent number: 9936587
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a method of fabricating a multi-channel modulator driver with an enclosure. After a substrate is provided, components of a multi-channel modulator driver are attached to the substrate. Herein, the components include first components associated with a first channel and second components associated with a second channel. Next, an enclosure is attached to the substrate to cover the multi-channel modulator driver. The enclosure has a wall disposed between the first components and the second components, and a top region coupled with the wall. The enclosure and the wall are composed of an electrically conductive polymer. The wall includes a first portion that has the electrically conductive polymer covered by a metal film and a second portion that has the electrically conductive polymer not covered by the metal film.

  • Patent number: 9899292
    Abstract: Top-side cooling of Radio Frequency (RF) products in air cavity packages is provided. According to one aspect, an air cavity package comprises a substrate, a RF component mounted to the substrate, and a lid structure comprising a first material and being mounted to the substrate that covers the RF component such that a cavity is formed within the lid structure and about the RF component. At least one opening is provided in a top portion of the lid. The air cavity package also comprises a heat transfer structure comprising a second material and comprising a heat path extending from the top surface of the substrate through the opening(s) in the lid to the top outer surface of the air cavity package to provide a top-side thermal interface. In one embodiment, the lid is comprised of a molded material that absorbs RF signals and the heat transfer structure is metal.

  • Publication number: 20150334848
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques and configurations for an enclosure that can be used for channel isolation in a multi-channel modulator driver such as, for example, an optical modulator driver. A system may include a substrate, a multi-channel modulator driver mounted on the substrate, and an enclosure mounted on the substrate to cover the multi-channel modulator driver, the enclosure having a wall that is disposed between first components of the multi-channel modulator driver associated with a first channel and second components of the multi-channel modulator driver associated with a second channel, the wall being composed of an electrically conductive material. Other embodiments may also be described and/or claimed.
