Abstract
A packaging scheme for apparatus including integrated optical components, such as transmitters, receivers and transceivers. The components are provided in the form of semiconductor chips bonded to a substrate such as ceramic. A glass cover which includes a light transmission path is mounted over the chips. Connectors to optical fibers are formed by molding a material over the substrate and cover. Alignment is effected by use of etched grooves in the cover which are matched to ridges in the mold.
