Abstract:
1. A photoelectric conversion module for direct optical interconnection, the module comprising: a printed circuit board (PCB) having an upper surface; an Integrated Circuit (IC) board comprising an upper surface, a side surface, and a lower surface attached to the upper surface of said printed circuit board (PCB), and a plurality of via holes passing from said upper surface through said side surface; a conductive material filling said plurality of via holes to form a plurality of electrically conductive paths from the upper surface through said side surface; an optical element array directly bonded to said side surface of the IC board; an optical waveguide array optically connected to one end of the optical element array having the other end bonded to the IC board; and a semiconductor chip formed on said upper surface of the IC board to operate the optical element array; wherein the semiconductor chip and the optical element array are electrically connected to each other through the IC board by the conductive material filling said plurality of via holes.
