TRANSCEIVER ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN FIBER OPTICS COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A frame section for use in supporting an optoelectronic device comprising a set of photoactive components within a fiber optic transceiver assembly for use in interconnecting with a fiber optic ferrule supporting a set of fiber optic communication fibers, said frame section comprising:
- a) a flex circuit layer including a plurality of communication lines and including a flex circuit window section;
b) a support layer including a support layer window smaller than said flex circuit window section so as to define an inwardly extending support shelf; and
c) a silicon substrate carrier mounted on said support shelf in said support layer window and including an optoelectronic device supported on said silicon substrate carrier and comprising a set of photoactive components.

Abstract
A frame section includes a flex circuit layer, a support layer, and a silicon substrate carrier. The flex circuit layer includes a plurality of communication lines and having a flex circuit window section. The support layer includes a support layer window smaller that the flex circuit window section so as to define an inwardly extending support shelf. The silicon substrate carrier is mounted on the support shelf in the support layer window and includes an optoelectronic device supported on the silicon substrate carrier. The optoelectronic device includes a set of photoactive components. The frame section is used for supporting the optoelectronic device within a fiber optic transceiver assembly which in turn is used for connecting to a fiber optic ferrule supporting a set of fiber optic communication fibers.
