Development of Optoelectronic Hybrid Boards using Optical Fibers

Abstract

In recent years, as the transmission speed increases, optical interconnections is desired not only in the device but also in the board-level. Therefore, an optical wiring layers are accumulated to the electric wiring board, and the optoelectronic hybrid boards which replaces a part of the electric wiring with optical wiring is paid to attention. For the achievement example, we have previously proposed a new structure and a method of the optoelectronic hybrid boards that endures the solder reflow process by optical components is embedded in a glass-epoxy circuit board.
