Patent ID: 7254149

Claim:
An optoelectronic assembly including: a submount, a pedestal, a plurality of bond wires providing a bond wire set, and a signal line; a bottom surface of the submount connected to a top surface of the pedestal; each bond wire in the bond wire set connected to a position on a top surface of the submount, and to a position on the signal line, said top surface being a surface opposite to the bottom surface of the submount; the signal line positioned a first distance from the position on the top surface of the submount and a second distance from the pedestal; wherein the submount is sized such that a portion of the bottom and the top surface of the submount extends beyond the top surface of the pedestal such that the first distance is less than the second distance, and wherein a plurality of the bond wires in the bond wire set contact a portion of the sub mount that overhangs and extends beyond the top surface of the pedestal, thereby reducing inductive effects of the bond wires.
