Abstract:
A method for fabricating an interconnection for interconnecting microelectronic chips with optical wires, said method comprising steps of:(a) on a first side of a substrate material, having said first side and a second side, fabricating a termination; (b) thinning and polishing said second side of said substrate; (c) forming and patterning a â€œTâ€  shaped opening on said second side of said substrate; (d) aligning said â€œTâ€  formed on said second side of said substrate with termination previously formed on said first side of said substrate; (e) forming a mirror and a V-shaped groove on said second side of said substrate; (f) aligning said mirror and said V-shaped groove; (g) inserting an optical fiber into V-shaped groove; and (h) attaching said optical fiber to said microelectronic chip.
