Abstract
Disclosed herein are waveguide interconnect bridges for integrated circuit (IC) structures, as well as related methods and devices. In some embodiments, a waveguide interconnect bridge may include a waveguide material and one or more wall cavities in the waveguide material. The waveguide interconnect bridge may communicatively couple two dies in an IC package.
Claims17
A waveguide interconnect bridge, comprising:
- a waveguide material;
- and
- one or more wall cavities in the waveguide material, the one or more wall cavities defining a plurality of waveguides in the waveguide interconnect bridge, the plurality of waveguides extending from a first end of the waveguide interconnect bridge to a second end of the waveguide interconnect bridge, and the waveguide material laterally surrounding the one or more wall cavities.
A method of manufacturing a waveguide interconnect bridge, comprising:
- forming a base structure of a waveguide material;
- and
- forming one or more wall cavities in the base structure, the one or more wall cavities defining a plurality of waveguides in the waveguide interconnect bridge, the plurality of waveguides extending from a first end of the waveguide interconnect bridge to a second end of the waveguide interconnect bridge, and the waveguide material laterally surrounding the one or more wall cavities.
A waveguide interconnect bridge, comprising:
- a waveguide material;
- and
- one or more wall cavities in the waveguide material, wherein the one or more wall cavities define multiple waveguides in the waveguide interconnect bridge, the waveguide material laterally surrounding the one or more wall cavities, wherein individual ones of the waveguides have a width between 50 micrometers and 500 micrometers, or a height between 40 micrometers and 250 micrometers, or a length between 1 millimeter and 5 centimeters.
