A semiconductor device package is disclosed which includes inter-digitated input and output bond wires configured to increase the negative mutual inductive coupling between the wires, thus reducing the overall parasitic inductance of the device. In one embodiment, the microelectronic component includes a semiconductor device coupled to a substrate, such as a lead frame, a first set of bond wires connected to the semiconductor device for providing current flow into the semiconductor device, and a second set of bond wires that are in a current loop with the first set of bond wires and are connected to the semiconductor device for providing current flow out of the semiconductor device, wherein the first and second set of bond wires are configured in an inter-digitated pattern to increase the magnitude of mutual inductive coupling between the first and second set of bond wires. In one embodiment, the semiconductor device comprises a single semiconductor chip and the lead frame comprises a Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) lead frame. Other embodiments include multiple chips and/or multiple lead frames.

Microelectronic component with reduced parasitic inductance and method of fabricating

An optical coupler for forming an optical connection between one or more two dimensional photonic array devices and an optical fiber and for forming an electrical connection between the two dimensional photonic array devices and a substrate, a system including the optical coupler and materials, and methods of forming the optical coupler and system are disclosed. The optical coupler includes a light transmission medium and electrical connectors, which are at least partially encapsulated. In addition, the device includes alignment guides configured to receive guide pins from a fiber optic connector, such that when the fiber optic connector is attached to the optical coupler, fibers of the ribbon align with the two dimensional photonic array device(s) via the light transmission medium.
