Abstract
A method for fabricating an optical interconnect includes producing a semiconductor wafer that includes multiple first dies. Each first die includes circuitry disposed over a surface of the wafer and connected to conductive vias arranged in rows. The multiple first dies are diced by cutting the wafer across the rows of the vias, such that, in each first die, the cut vias form respective contact pads on a side face of the first die that is perpendicular to the surface. A second semiconductor die including one or more optoelectronic transducers is attached to the contact pads, so as to connect the transducers to the circuitry.
