ABSTRACT:
Optical waveguides are used to bridge between integrated circuits on different die. The waveguide is suspended on polyamid or some other material. An optional waveguide is built which can have both active components or passive components and beam dumps. The optical waveguides allow the signal from one integrated circuit to another to travel at the speed of light. Such waveguides can be direct deposited to better than 0.2 micron accuracy to connect submicron waveguides on the integrated circuit. The use of conductive waveguides or conductive coatings to encapsulate the waveguide allows electrical signals to be passed along with the optical signal.
