Thermal gel application on electronic and optical components

Abstract:

An optoelectronic assembly and methods of fabrication thereof are provided. The assembly includes a sub-mount, one or more micro-devices attached to the sub-mount, and a lid attached to the sub-mount. The lid includes a dispense channel and a gel groove which allows for a thermal gel to be dispensed between the lid and the micro-device in a manner that mitigates the thermal gel dispersing and/or flowing onto components of the micro-devices.
