  • Patent number: 9449890
    Abstract: Methods for temporary bussing of semiconductor package substrates are disclosed and may include metal plating regions of a packaging substrate utilizing a plurality of bussed traces, which may be decoupled by forming debuss holes at intersections of the bussed traces. The decoupled traces may then be electrically tested, and the packaging substrate may be singulated into a plurality of substrates utilizing a sawing process through singulation areas in the packaging substrate. The traces may be electrically coupled via plating bars in the substrate. The plating bars may be located in the singulation areas. The intersections of the bussed traces may be in a Y pattern, which may be repeated along the singulation areas. The debuss holes may be formed utilizing mechanical drilling or lasing. The regions of the packaging substrate may be metal plated utilizing an electroplating process. The plurality of bussed traces may be biased for the electroplating process.

  • Publication number: 20110204464
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a micro-optical device includes an electro-optical circuit and an annular frame disposed on a surface of a substrate. The electro-optical circuit has an active region that is encapsulated by a window and an interconnect region adjacent at least one edge of the electro-optical circuit. The annular frame extends around an outer periphery of the window and is separated from the window by a gap, the annular frame and the electro-optical circuit form a cavity for placement of a plurality of bonding wires the interconnect that electro-optical circuit to the substrate.
