A method for fabricating an electronic assembly which enables the assembly and interconnection of surface mount components and/or other electrical, electronic, electro-optical, electro-mechanical and user interface devices with external I/O contacts on a planar surface without the use of solder or otherwise exposing the components to temperatures substantially above ambient.

Process for placing, securing and interconnecting electronic components

Disclosed is a hybrid waveguide structure, wherein a core or cladding has a hybrid section or &ldquo;button&rdquo; of a different optical property such as refractive index from the major portion of the core or cladding, respectively. The hybrid section can be made of a passive material or an electro-optic material. Methods of making a hybrid waveguide structure are also disclosed. These methods include rib-based methods and trench-based methods, and in either of these methods, a temporary filler is used in many instances to incorporate the hybrid section into the hybrid waveguide structure.
