Co-packaged optics structure with optical connectors having waveguide stress relief features

A connector structure for coupling optical signals to a semiconductor device, the connector structure comprising:

• a connector body comprising a recessed portion extending from a first side of the connector body to a second side of the connector body;
• an optical waveguide structure comprising one or more waveguides, the optical waveguide structure being positioned in the recessed portion of the connector body and extending from the first side of the connector body and out through the second side of the connector body;
• a lid positioned over the optical waveguide structure, the lid securing the optical waveguide structure in the recessed portion of the connector body, the lid having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge of the lid being proximate to the first side of the connector body, the second edge of the lid being proximate to the second side of the connector body;
• and
• a support structure attached along an intersection line of the optical waveguide structure and the second edge of the lid.

A co-packaged optics structure comprising:

• a semiconductor device having an optical input/output port;
• and
• a connector structure coupling an optical waveguide structure to the optical input/output port of the semiconductor device, the connector structure comprising:
• a connector body comprising a recessed portion extending from a first side of the connector body to a second side of the connector body;
• an optical waveguide structure comprising one or more waveguides, the optical waveguide structure being positioned in the recessed portion of the connector body and extending from the first side of the connector body and out through the second side of the connector body;
• and
• a lid positioned over the optical waveguide structure, the lid securing the optical waveguide structure in the recessed portion of the connector body;
• wherein at least one of:
• the lid has a first edge and a second edge, the first edge of the lid being proximate to the first side of the connector body, the second edge of the lid being offset from an edge at the second side of the connector body;
• and
• the connector structure further comprises a support structure attached along an intersection line of the optical waveguide structure and the second edge of the lid.
