Abstract:
A package for optical micro-mechanical devices, comprising:one or more optical micro-mechanical devices on a first surface of a die, the first surface of the die comprising a die reference surface; one or more optical interconnect alignment mechanisms formed in the first surface of the die, the optical interconnect alignment mechanisms being positioned to optically couple an optical interconnect with one or more of the optical micro-mechanical devices on the die; a package frame comprising an aperture and a first surface, the first surface of the package frame comprising a package frame reference surface proximate the aperture, wherein the package frame reference surface is adapted to allow the die reference surface to be mounted to the package frame reference surface such that the optical micro-mechanical devices are located in the aperture; and one or more optical interconnect alignment mechanisms formed in the first surface of the package frame, the optical interconnect alignment mechanisms on the package frame being positioned to align with corresponding optical interconnect alignment mechanisms on the die when the die reference surface is mounted to the package frame reference surface.
