Patent ID: 8233757

Claim:
A method of creating a plurality of optical apparatuses, comprising: patterning a conductive material on a mount wafer; populating the mount wafer with optoelectronic devices in accordance with the patterning; stacking and securing a spacer substrate on the mount wafer; stacking and securing a sealer substrate on the spacer substrate, the sealer substrate being separate from the spacer substrate, wherein stacking and securing of the spacer substrate and the sealer substrate on the mount wafer seal the optoelectronic devices, the spacer substrate including a hole over the optoelectronic device and a bottom surface of the sealer substrate sealing the hole; and vertically separating the mount wafer to form the plurality of optical apparatuses, the vertically separating including exposing a portion of the conductive material outside the seal, each optical apparatus includes a mount substrate, an optoelectronic device, a spacer substrate, a sealer substrate, and exposed conductive material provided outside the seal.
