Description

Optical fiber connector Technical Field The present application relates to an optical fiber connector, and more particularly to an optical fiber connector for optical wafers. Background With the rapid development of portable electronic products in recent years, the development of various related products is also towards the trend of high density, high performance, light weight, thinness, shortness and smallness. Meanwhile, semiconductor devices are also gradually developed toward heterogeneous integration, and for this reason, three-dimensional (3D) multi-chip packaging technology is gradually rising. In order to increase the signal transmission speed between more and more chips and various devices in a semiconductor device and between the semiconductor device and an external circuit or component, optical communication technology is introduced, and optical fibers are used as signal propagation media on a critical signal path. Among the related technologies, co-packaged optical (Co-Packaged Optics, CPO) technology is a key technology for the great development in recent years. Referring to fig. 1, in the conventional process technology, when the optical fibers 12 are to be bonded to the optical chip 11, a plurality of grooves 110 are formed on the optical chip 11, so that the optical fibers 12 are aligned and fixed on the optical chip 11 corresponding to the grooves 110. Although the method has high output per hour, if the optical fiber is damaged, the optical fiber cannot be replaced and maintained, so that the whole structure is scrapped. Referring to fig. 2, another method is developed in the industry to integrate a plurality of optical fibers 22 into an optical Fiber Array Unit (FAU) 23, assemble the optical fiber array unit 23 to a connector 24, find the maximum value of the optical signal of the optical chip 21 by using an optical coupling machine, align the optical signal of the connector 24, and fix the connector 24 on the optical chip 21 by using an adhesive layer. In the foregoing method, although the optical fiber array unit can be disassembled to perform the replacement and maintenance of the optical fiber when the optical fiber is damaged, when the optical fiber is positioned on the optical chip, the time required for precisely searching the position with the maximum optical power is too long, so that the output per hour is extremely low, and the optical fiber can be positioned on the optical chip only by penetrating the connector, thereby increasing the cost. Therefore, how to overcome the above problems in the prior art at the same time is becoming a major challenge in the industry.

In the foregoing optical fiber connector, the connecting member is disposed on the first surface of the carrier. In the foregoing optical fiber connector, the connector includes a first connecting component coupled to the first surface of the carrier, and a second connecting component coupled to the optical chip.
