OPTICAL PACKAGE OF AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

An electronic chip supports an optical device and electric connection zones. An insulating coating coats the electronic chip, covers the electric connection zones and exposes the optical device. An optical plugging element is at least partly fastened onto a first face of the insulating coating and is optically coupled to the optical device. Vias pass through the insulating coating from its first face to a second face opposite to the first face. Inner walls of the vias support electrically conductive paths connected to the electric connection zones of the electronic chip by electrically conductive tracks arranged on the first face of the insulating coating. The electrically conductive paths of the vias further have ends protruding onto the second face of the insulating coating.
