Abstract:
A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) fan-out package and related methods of forming same are disclosed. The PIC fan-out package includes: an overmold body; a PIC die in the overmold body, the PIC die including electro-optic circuitry; a plurality of optical fiber stubs operatively coupled to the electro-optic circuitry; an edge fiber coupling interface in a lateral side of the overmold body for coupling the plurality of optical fiber stubs to external optical fibers using a connector; an ancillary device in the overmold body; a redistribution wiring layer (RDL) interposer adjacent the overmold body and electrically connected to the PIC die and the ancillary device; and a ball grid array (BGA) electrically coupled to the PIC die and the ancillary device by the RDL interposer, the BGA configured to electrically couple the PIC die and the ancillary device to a printed circuit board (PCB).

Claim (Index 19):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein the forming the edge fiber coupling interface includes:\n planarizing the lateral end of the overmold body to planarize each optical fiber stub on the lateral side of the overmold body of the selected module, and etching back the overmold body exposing the portion of each optical fiber stub on the lateral side of the overmold body of the selected module, creating the fiber optic couplings for optical coupling to the external optical fibers.
