Abstract
We report on the fabrication of a high yield very large-scale elecgtro-optical GaAs-AlGaAs waveguide device, consisting of 18 beam deflectors with 128 waveguides in each deflector. The waveguides and n-type ohmic contacts are connected via 2508 bumps to a ceramic carrier, using flip chip technology. The carrier is also used as an optical bench for the optical components.
