Conductive traces are provided on the first substrate (upper traces) and below it (lower traces) to provide two levels of electrical connectivity to a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) provided on the second substrate. As a result, an increased number of connections can be made to the PIC in a relatively small package, while maintaining adequate spacing and line widths for each trace. In addition, the lower traces are connected to bonding pads on the surface of the first substrate and are thus provided in the same plane as the upper traces. Testing of and access to both upper and lower traces is thus simplified.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2009Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Infinera CorporationInventors: Donald J. Pavinski, Jr., August Spannagel, Charles H. Joyner, Peter W. Evans, Matthew Fisher, Mark J. Missey
