Abstract: Optical packages and methods of assembly are described in which various optical structures are integrated to increase efficiency. In an embodiment, an optical package includes an optical component with integrated guard fence to prevent the flow of adjacent opaque insulating material onto an optical surface. Additional optic structures are described such as light blocking structures within routing layer to reduce total internal reflection (TIR) within the routing layers, optical lenses, and the use of sacrificial layers to protect optical surfaces of the optical components during assembly.

Abstract: Fabric may include one or more conductive strands. An insertion tool may insert an electrical component into the fabric during formation of the fabric. The electrical component may include an electrical device mounted to a substrate and encapsulated by a protective structure. An interconnect structure such as a metal via or printed circuit layers may pass through an opening in the protective structure and may be used to couple a conductive strand to a contact pad on the substrate. The protective structure may be transparent or may include an opening so that light can be detected by or emitted from an optical device on the substrate. The protective structure may be formed using a molding tool that provides the protective structure with grooves or may be molded around a hollow conductive structure to create grooves. An electrical component mounted to the fabric may be embedded within printed circuit layers.

Abstract: A method for shielding a compartment in a module of an electronic device includes molding the module using a mold material that activates when a laser is applied. The method also includes cutting a trench on the mold of the module around a certain portion of the module using the laser. The method further includes plating the trench using a certain metal. The method also includes filling the trench with a filler material. The method further includes encapsulating the module, the mold, the trench, and the filler material.
