Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for an integrated chip. An integrated chip includes a package substrate including a plurality of first layers and a plurality of second layers, each second layer being disposed between a respective adjacent pair of the first layers. A transceiver unit is disposed above the package substrate. A waveguide unit including a plurality of waveguides having top and bottom walls formed in the first layers of the package substrate and sidewalls formed in the second layers of the package substrate.
Claims20
An integrated chip comprising:
- first and second waveguides extending in a first direction;
- a first coupling unit aligned with a top wall of the first waveguide in the first direction and misaligned with a waveguide opening of the first waveguide in the first direction;
- and
- a first shield unit disposed between the first coupling unit and a waveguide opening of the second waveguide and coupled between a transmitter and a bottom wall of the first waveguide.
