表面に温度制御対象体が搭載された第1のステム部材と、
前記第1のステム部材の裏面側に配置され、前記第1のステム部材との間に前記温度制御対象体の温度制御を行う熱電クーラーを挟み込む第2のステム部材と、
前記第1のステム部材および前記第2のステム部材間に充填された絶縁性樹脂と、
を備えたことを特徴とするものである。
この発明の実施の形態1に係る熱電クーラー内蔵型ステムについて、図を基にして以下説明する。図1は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る熱電クーラー内蔵型ステムの一例を示す図である。また図2は本発明の実施の形態1に係る熱電クーラー内蔵型ステムに光学モジュールを搭載した図である。
図1において、光学モジュールなどの温度制御対象体を搭載するための円板状の第1のステム部材1のすぐ下側には、この光学モジュールを適切な温度に冷却するための熱電クーラー5(以下、TEC5と呼ぶこともある。TEC:Thermoelectric Cooler)が、第1のステム部材1と対向して同軸上に配置された円板状の第2のステム部材2の、上面に搭載されている。ここで、熱電クーラー5は、第1のステム部材1および第2のステム部材2の表面に、半田付けや導電性樹脂などの導電性材料で接合されている。
また、上記の熱電クーラー5に電気信号を供給するリード3bが、第2のステム部材2を貫通して設けられ、接続ポイント部4で、熱電クーラー5の基板5bと接続されている。
この図に示すように、第1のステム部材1の上面に熱電クーラー5以外の部品である光学部品7を搭載した例である。第1のステム部材1の上面に光学部品7を搭載しているため、ステムからの部品の高さを、熱電クーラー5の高さ分だけ減らすことが可能となる。
従って、図8に示した、熱電クーラー5に直接、光学部品7を設置する場合に比較して、光学部品7の一部品であるLDチップ10の光軸の、熱ストレスなどによる角度ずれが抑制されるため、この光軸に関する不具合の発生率を減らすことができる。

図4の実施の形態1で説明した熱電クーラー内蔵型ステムを使用した場合においては、外気30が、光学モジュールに搭載したデバイスの温度より高温の場合、熱電クーラー5の上面を冷やすことで第1のステム部材1下面の温度が下がり、第1のステム部材1上面との温度差による熱伝導によって(図中の矢印参照)、第1のステム部材1の全体温度を下げるが、駆動したいデバイスの温度と外気30の差が大きい場合、熱電クーラー5の機能が不足して温度が下がらないケースが想定される。
この図において、第1のステム部材1aと第2のステム部材2を貫通するリード3aは、リング状の環状樹脂モールド部8の外側のほぼ同じ半径位置に、互いに等間隔に離れて4個配置されている。また、この環状樹脂モールド部8は、第1のステム部材1aの厚さ方向に貫通する形態で設けられている
