Abstract
The current invention offers a method for preparing an electronic integrated circuit (EIC) for the assembly of an optical engine. The method involves stacking a CMOS-based EIC wafer onto a short loop/interposer wafer through face-to-back bonding. This stacked configuration serves as a carrier for the thin CMOS wafers. Subsequently, the stacked wafers are thinned down to the desired height and undergo a via last process. In this process, the thick metal layer from the short loop/interposer wafer acts as an etch stop. The stacked EIC wafers can then be diced and attached to a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) wafer, resulting in the formation of an optical engine.
