ABSTRACT:
A high-speed optical transceiver for an integrated circuit (IC) includes a serializer-deserializer (SERDES) and a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) combined with a detector array. By covalently bonding the SERDES die to the IC, the two components can be processed simultaneously to produce a tightly aligned, high-speed data interface. The SERDES can be coupled to the VCSEL/detector array using a flex interconnect, or the VCSEL/detector array can also be covalently bonded to the IC or SERDES to maximize data bandwidth. The SERDES and VCSEL/detector array can also be produced in a single die using a process technology appropriate for both to maximize manufacturing efficiency.
