Abstract
The substrate includes an alignment slot in at least one of its side edges, and includes metallization coupled electrically to the micro component and extending from the front surface of the substrate to its back surface via at least one of the alignment slots. The assembly also includes a cover attached to the substrate so as to encapsulate the micro component. The cover includes at least one protrusion on its underside such that each protrusion mates with a respective alignment slot in the side edges of the substrate.
Claims17
An assembly comprising:
- a micro component;
- a substrate with a front surface supporting the micro component, wherein the substrate includes an alignment slot in at least one of its side edges, and wherein the substrate includes metallization electrically coupled to the micro component and extending from the front surface of the substrate to its back surface via the alignment slot;
- and
- a cover attached to the substrate so as to encapsulate the micro component, wherein the cover includes at least one protrusion on its underside such that each protrusion mates with a respective alignment slot in the substrate.

An assembly comprising:
- an optoelectronic device;
- a substrate with a front surface supporting the optoelectronic device, wherein the substrate includes a respective alignment slot in each of its side edges, wherein each alignment slot has a surface that slants outwardly from the front surface of the substrate to its back surface, and wherein the substrate includes metallization electrically coupled to the optoelectronic device and extending from the front surface of the substrate to its back surface via the alignment slots;
- and
- a cover attached to the substrate so as to encapsulate the optoelectronic device, wherein the cover includes protrusions on its underside such that each protrusion mates with a respective alignment slot in the substrate, and wherein the cover comprises a material that is transparent to a wavelength of light emitted or detected by the optoelectronic device.
