Patent ID: 6973225

Claim:
An optoelectronic module comprising: a substrate having a top and a bottom surface, a recessed region formed in the top surface of the substrate and including electrical pathways that extend from the perimeter of the recessed region to the bottom surface of the substrate wherein the electrical pathways include metal pads; a photonic device having active facets and anode pads on a first surface and a cathode surface on an opposing second surface, the anode pads and the cathode surface being in contact with the electrical pathways on the top surface of the substrate, the photonic device being situated within the recessed region of the substrate such that the active facets and anode pads are in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the top surface of the substrate wherein the metal pads of the substrate are connected with the cathode surface and to each of the anode pads with solder material; and a chip sub-assembly having an embedded semiconductor die and up-linking contacts that are in electrical communication with the semiconductor die and portions of the electrical pathways on the bottom surface of the substrate.
