Abstract
A method of fabricating a structure comprising an optical fiber interconnect rigidly clamped within an enclosure wherein ends of the interconnect are offset. The method comprises selecting an enclosure material such that its coefficient of thermal expansion leads, during cooling, to a compressive force that minimizes tensile stress in the interconnect. An optical fiber interconnect structure and a semiconductor device fabricated according to the method are also disclosed.
