Abstract:
A method for providing a vertical optical via for a semiconductor substrate is described. The semiconductor substrate has a front surface and a back side. A hard mask having an aperture therein is formed on the front surface. Part of the semiconductor substrate exposed by the aperture is removed to form a via hole. The via hole has a width not exceeding one hundred micrometers and a bottom. Cladding layer(s) and core layer(s) are provided in the via hole. The core layer(s) have at least a second index of refraction greater than that of the core layer(s). A portion of the semiconductor substrate including the back side is removed to expose a bottom portion of the core layer(s) and a bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate. The vertical optical via includes the cladding and core layers. The vertical optical via extends from the front surface to the bottom surface.

Claim (Index 3):
The method of  claim 2  wherein the width is at least twenty micrometers.
