Abstract :
Two novel packaging technologies have been developed to serve as essential building blocks for construction of a photonically interconnected large-chip array. Ultralow parasitic microsolder interconnections (on the order of 100 mOhm/bump and 25 fF/bump) allow combination of best-in-class chips, which may be built on different technology platforms, and CMOS compatible ball-in-etch-pit structures provide a non-permanent passive selfaligning mechanism for highly accurate componentto-component placement.
