    Abstract: Technologies for fiber array unit (FAU) lid designs are disclosed. In one embodiment, channels in the lid allow for suction to be applied to fibers that the lid covers, pulling the fibers into place in a V-groove. The suction can hold the fibers in place as the fiber array unit is mated with a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die. Additionally or alternatively, channels can be on pitch, allowing for pulling the FAU towards a PIC die as well as sensing the position and alignment of the FAU to the PIC die. In another embodiment, a warpage amount of a PIC die is characterized, and a FAU lid with a similar warpage is fabricated, allowing for the FAU to position fibers correctly relative to waveguides in the PIC die. In another embodiment, a FAU has an extended lid, which can provide fiber protection as well as position and parallelism tolerance control.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a piezo-electric mirror in an microelectronic package and methods of forming the package. According to an embodiment the microelectronic package may include an organic substrate with a cavity formed in the organic substrate. In some embodiments, an actuator is anchored to the organic substrate and extends over the cavity. For example, the actuator may include a first electrode and a piezo-electric layer formed on the first electrode. A second electrode may be formed on the piezo-electric layer. Additionally, a mirror may be formed on the actuator. Embodiments allow for the piezo-electric layer to be formed on an organic package substrate by using low temperature crystallization processes. For example, the piezo-electric layer may be deposited in an amorphous state. Thereafter, a laser annealing process that includes a pulsed laser may be used to crystallize the piezo-electric layer.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a display formed on an organic substrate and methods of forming such a device. According to an embodiment, an array of pixel mirrors may be formed on the organic substrate. For example, each of the pixel mirrors is actuatable about one or more axes out of the plane of the organic substrate. Additionally, embodiments of the invention may include an array of routing mirrors formed on the organic substrate. According to an embodiment, each of the routing mirrors is actuatable about two axes out of the plane of the organic substrate. In embodiments of the invention, a light source may be used for emitting light towards the array of routing mirrors. For example, light emitted from the light source may be reflected to one or more of the pixel mirrors by one of the routing mirrors.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an optoelectronic package that allows for in situ alignment of optical fibers. In an embodiment, the optoelectronic package may include an organic substrate. Embodiments include a cavity formed into the organic substrate. Additionally, the optoelectronic package may include an actuator formed on the organic substrate that extends over the cavity. In one embodiment, the actuator may include a first electrode, a piezoelectric layer formed on the first electrode, and a second electrode formed on the piezoelectric layer. According to an additional embodiment of the invention, the actuator may include a first portion and a second portion. In order to allow for resistive heating and actuation driven by thermal expansion, a cross-sectional area of the first portion of the beam may be greater than a cross-sectional area of the second portion of the beam.
