Abstract
Using flip-chip bonding techniques with micromachined conductive polymer bumps and passive alignment techniques with electroplated side alignment pedestal bumps, a prototype microoptoelectromechanical systems (MOEMS) structure for optical input/output (I/O) couplers has been designed, fabricated and characterized. A top MOEMS substrate has through holes, contact metal pads, and side alignment pedestals with electroplated NiFe to align GaAs metal-semiconductor-metals (MSMs). Conductive polymer bumps have been formed on contact metal pads of GaAs MSMs using thick photoresist bump-holes as molding patterns. A diced GaAs photodetectors die with micromachined conductive polymer bumps was aligned to the side alignment pedestals and flip-chip bonded onto the substrate. This conductive polymer flip-chip bonding technique allowed a very low contact resistance (~10 mΩ), a lower bonding temperature (~170°C), and simple processing steps. The GaAs MSM photodetectors flip-chip mounted on the top of OE-MCM substrate showed a low dark current of about 10 nA and a high responsivity of 0.33 A/WKeywords
