Patent 12085769 was granted and assigned to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company on September, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An IC device includes a heat spreader, an electronic component over the heat spreader, an optical component over the electronic component, a multilayer structure over the optical component, and a redistribution structure over the multilayer structure. The multilayer structure includes a waveguide optically coupled to the optical component. The redistribution structure is electrically coupled to the electronic component by vias through the optical component and the multilayer structure.
