    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: An electronic device may include a semiconductor package, that may include a package substrate. The package may include a semiconductor die. A plurality of package interconnects may include a first pillar extending from a surface of the package substrate. The electronic device may include a socket that may be configured to couple with the semiconductor package. The socket may include a plurality of socket interconnects configured to engage with the package interconnects. The plurality of socket interconnects may include a first contact, and the first contact may include an arm. The arm of the first contact may be configured to engage with the first pillar, and the arm may be configured to laterally displace when engaged with the first pillar. The engagement of the arm with the first pillar may establish an electrical communication pathway between the semiconductor package and the socket.
