Abstract
A package structure comprises photonic dies and an interposer structure. Each photonic die includes a dielectric layer and a first grating coupler embedded in the dielectric layer. The interposer structure is disposed below the photonic dies. The interposer structure includes an oxide layer and a second grating coupler embedded in the oxide layer. The photonic dies are optically coupled through the first grating couplers of the photonic dies and the second grating coupler of the interposer structure.
