Abstract:
A microfabricated optical apparatus that includes a light source driven by a waveform, wherein the waveform is delivered to the light source by at least one through silicon via. The microfabricated optical apparatus may also include a light-sensitive receiver which generates an electrical signal in response to an optical signal. An optical source may be attached to a carrier substrate with the TOSA by a flexible connector, in order to align the optical source before affixing it permanently.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 13 , further comprising providing an optical apparatus which supports signals having a characteristic wavelength of \u25a1 corresponding to a characteristic frequency of \u25a1;\n disposing an optical source driven by a first signal with a characteristic frequency of \u25a1 on a substrate, wherein the optical source generates optical radiation; \n disposing an optical detector on the substrate, which generates a second signal based on an amount of optical radiation striking the optical detector, wherein the first and second signals are delivered to the optical source or taken from the optical detector by a plurality of through silicon vias (TSV) which extend through a thickness of the substrate; \n forming a plurality of through wafer vias extending through the substrate, that define a conductive path between a ground plane on one side of the substrate and a metal material on the obverse side of the substrate, wherein the through substrate vias are disposed at intervals of between about c/(\u25a1*\u25a1) and c/(10*\u25a1*\u25a1), where c is the speed of light and epsilon is the dielectric constant of the substrate, and wherein the metal material covers at least one half of the exposed area of the surface of the substrate; \n forming the ground plane which is held at ground potential relative to the wafer bonding material; and \n and electrically coupling the metal material to the ground plane by the plurality of through substrate vias (TSVs).
