Abstract
Integrated optoelectronic chips or collections of chips on a module that have both electrical as well as optical interconnects offer many advantages in speed, power consumption and heat generation. Mixed signal types, however, pose significant packaging challenges. This invention describes a land grid array (LGA) interposer which can simultaneously connect electrical and optical signals from a module to a printed circuit board.
