Abstract

This paper proposes a design of high-speed interconnection between optical modules and electrical modules via bonding-wires and coplanar waveguide transmission lines on printed circuit boards for 400 Gbps 4-channel optical communication systems. In order to broaden the interconnection bandwidth, interdigitated capacitors were integrated with GSG pads on chip for the first time. Simulation results indicate the reflection coefficient is below -10 dB from DC to 53 GHz and the insertion loss is below 1 dB from DC to 45 GHz. Both indicators show that the proposed interconnection structure can effectively satisfy the communication bandwidth requirements of 100-Gbps or even higher data-rate PAM4 signals.
