Abstract:
A method of creating a hybridized chip by combining a bottom active optical device, having a substrate on a side and active device contacts on a surface of the active optical device opposite the substrate, and an electronic chip having electronic chip contacts, when at least some of the active device contacts are not aligned with at least some of the electronic chip contacts, each of the at least some active device contacts having an electrically corresponding electronic chip contact, the method comprising:adding an insulating layer, having a pre-specific thickness, first side and second side, prior to the adding, to the bottom active optical device by affixing the first side to the surface of the active optical device; creating sidewalls in the insulating layer defining openings in the insulating layer extending from the second side to the first side at points substantially coincident with the active device contacts; following the creating, making the sidewalls electrically conductive; and connecting the points and the electronic chip contacts with an electrically conductive material.
