A direct bonded heterogeneous integration (DBHi) device includes a substrate including a trench formed in a top surface of the substrate. The DBHi device further includes a first chip coupled to the substrate on a first side of the trench by a plurality of first interconnects. The DBHi device further includes a second chip coupled to the substrate on a second side of the trench by a plurality of second interconnects. The second side of the trench is arranged opposite the first side of the trench. The DBHi device further includes a bridge coupled to the first chip and to the second chip by a plurality of third interconnects such that the bridge is suspended in the trench. The DBHi device further includes a non-conductive paste material surrounding the plurality of third interconnects to further couple the bridge to the first chip and to the second chip.

A photonic package is provided. The photonic package includes a base substrate defining an aperture, a top die and a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) die. The top die includes a body with first and second top die sections. The first top die section is connectable with the base substrate. The PIC die includes body with first and second PIC die sections. The PIC die is disposable in the aperture such that the second PIC die section is connectable with the second top die section and the first PIC die section extends beyond the second top die section and is exposed for connection to a waveguide assembly.

Photonics package with face-to-face bonding

A packaged assembly is disclosed, including thermal interface material dispensed on an organic package and methods of manufacturing. The method includes dispensing a thermal interface material (TIM) on an electronic assembly. The method further includes removing volatile species of the TIM, prior to lid placement on the electronic assembly. The method further includes placing the lid on the TIM, over the electronic assembly. The method further includes pressing the lid onto the electronic assembly.

Thermal interface material on package

A vacuum controlled fixture is provided for positioning columns on sites of an electronic substrate. The fixture includes an internal chamber having spaced apart first and second surfaces extending beneath its principal face. A regular array of column receiving holes extends from the principal face through the first surface of the chamber, and a plurality of vacuum ducts extend from ports in the second surface of the chamber to a vacuum source to evacuate the internal chamber. The ports in the second face of the chamber are laterally offset from the receiving holes in the first face of the chamber to allow seating of the interior ends of the columns on coplanar portions of the rear surface. The ports are preferably centered, equidistant from the closest adjacent receiving holes, thereby providing centering of the columns by means of a vacuum driven air flow around the latter.
