PIC Bootcamp – Practitioner 4: Introduction to PIC Packaging

This one-day course demystifies the packaging phase of the PIC workflow, showing how optical, electrical, thermal, and mechanical considerations determine long-term performance and cost. Through demonstrations and workstation rotations, participants examine alignment, bonding, fibre attach, electrical interconnects, signal integrity, and thermal management practices used by industry.

What will you gain?

• Holistic overview of PIC packaging flows and their dependencies
• Awareness of key constraints that influence reliability, testability, and integration
• Practical exposure to alignment, coupling, bonding, and inspection steps
• Insight into how early-stage design decisions reduce packaging risk

Planned Activities:

• Expert-led demos across multiple packaging workstations
• Case studies covering common integration challenges and mitigation tactics
• Hands-on practice with representative fixtures and metrology tools
• Discussion on how packaging feedback loops into design and fabrication choices
