A simple and useful Si-Submount was constructed and used to finished the coupling between an opto-electronic device and an optical fiber. Submount is made of Si(100)-wafer, in according to the mature silicon fabrication technique. One of its significant function, self-alignment, was to reduce the time consuming during active alignment which was required in case light coupling into an fiber-core. Testing on the accuracy of self-alignment was performed with the submount we made and LED devices. Finally, we conduct the whole self-aligned packaging among SEL device, submount and optical fiber, and obtained an coupling efficiency up to 90%.
