Patent attributes
A semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor structure for optically coupling a fiber includes a photonic die, an electronic die disposed on and electrically coupled to the photonic die, and an insulating layer disposed on the photonic die and extending along sidewalls of the electronic die. The photonic die includes a first portion and a second portion connected to the first portion, an optical device of the photonic die optically coupled to the fiber is within the first portion, and the second portion extends beyond lateral extents of the first portion.
