Abstract
A die circuit assembly and method are described that integrates a first fiber optic die and a second fiber optic die into one assembly containing alignment features allowing for the accurate aligning of the fiber optic die to a fiber optic connector. The die circuit assembly can be attached to a flexible circuit in a manner to ensure the planarity of the fiber optic die is kept normal to the fiber optic connector. A method is also described where a plurality of the die circuit assemblies are formed from a single assembly.
