Abstract:
A submount assembly comprises a first substrate having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein a plurality of first grooves are formed into the first substrate from the first surface. Each first groove is dimensioned to receive a portion of a respective optical fiber of a plurality of optical fibers, and to arrange the optical fiber with a predetermined first height relative to the first surface. The submount assembly further comprises a plurality of first conductive traces on a side of the first substrate corresponding to the first surface, and a semiconductor laser contacted with the first conductive traces. The semiconductor laser has a predetermined second height relative to the first surface. The submount assembly further comprises a plurality of second conductive traces at the second surface and a plurality of first vias extending through the first substrate from the first conductive traces to the second conductive traces.

Claim (Index 16):
A method comprising:\n forming a plurality of first vias through a base member, the base member having a first surface and an opposing second surface; forming a plurality of first conductive traces on a side of the base member corresponding to the first surface; forming a plurality of second conductive traces at the second surface, wherein the first vias extend between the first conductive traces and the second conductive traces; forming a plurality of first grooves from the first surface into the base member; attaching a plurality of optical fibers to the base member, wherein attaching the plurality of optical fibers comprises inserting the plurality of optical fibers into the plurality of first grooves, wherein the plurality of optical fibers have a predetermined first height relative to the first surface; and attaching a semiconductor laser to the base member, wherein attaching the semiconductor laser comprises contacting the semiconductor laser with the first conductive traces, wherein the semiconductor laser has a predetermined second height relative to the first surface, wherein the predetermined first height and the predetermined second height are selected such that, when the base member is coupled with a semiconductor substrate, the plurality of optical fibers and the semiconductor laser optically couple with respective optical waveguides of a plurality of optical waveguides of the semiconductor substrate.
