On-die diffractive alignment structures for packaging of microlens arrays with 2-D optoelectronic device arrays

A novel technique for aligning a microlens array to an electrically packaged optoelectronic device array is presented: reflective Fresnel zone plates (FZP's) are fabricated on the device die to provide registration spots during alignment. A proof-of-concept experiment in which an MSM array was aligned to a microlens array with an accuracy of better than 9 microns is described.
