With the computing speed of computers up to several GHz and above, the telecommunications bandwidth through the traditional copper wire will be inadequate. Thus, incorporating optical light as a transmitting media will substantially improve most current interconnect technology due to its high transmission speed. Silicon optical bench technology for optical interconnect applications provides specific characteristics of miniaturized sizes, a good heat spreading, and so on. In addition, the fabrication process can be achieved by employing a standard semiconductor process technology. Therefore, it provides assembly with highly precise alignment, and mass-production possibilities.
In this thesis, the compact and passive-alignment 4-channel ? 2.5 Gbps optical interconnect receiving module includes a silicon-based 45-degree micro-reflector, V-groove arrays, high-frequency transmission lines of 4-channel ? 2.5 GHz, and bonding pads with Au-Sn eutectic solder. It’s a free-space optical interconnect technology serving as a board to board or chip-to-chip interconnect, which is realized by assembling active and passive optical devices on a silicon optical bench(SiOB).
The compact and passive-alignment optical interconnect receiving module includes some important fabrication technology, ex: fabrication of SiOB、fabrication of high frequency transmission line、fabrication of bonding pads and fabrication of module assembly.
The transmission speed 2.5 Gbps / channel is achieved by the compact and passive-alignment optical interconnect receiving module and the size of SiOB can be only 5´5 mm2 for 4-channel interconnect. The optical performance simulated by the ray-tracing method, the coupling efficiency between multimode fiber and photo detector can reaches up to -2 dB. The cross-talk between neighboring channels can be suppressed down to -49 dB.
