Abstract
A fiber array unit (FAU) structure and the method for forming the same are provided. The FAU structure includes a FAU, a passive optical component structure, and a carrier board. The FAU includes a fiber holder holding optical fibers. The passive optical component structure includes a reflective layer and a lens layer. The reflective layer includes reflectors adjacent to the optical fibers. The lens layer includes silicon lenses adjacent to the reflectors. The carrier board is configured to support the FAU and the passive optical component structure. The FAU and the passive optical component structure are adjacent to each other. The lens layer is located between the reflective layer and the carrier board.
