A method of fabricating an interconnect includes forming one or more holes in an anisotropic conductive film on a carrier substrate, filling at least one of the one or more holes with a material capable of transmitting an optical signal, and laminating the anisotropic conductive film on a packaging substrate. An electronic package includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and an interconnect located between the first substrate and the second substrate. The interconnect includes a conductive film for electrically coupling a first terminal formed on the first substrate to a second terminal formed on the second substrate, and one or more optically transmissive units embedded in the conductive film, wherein at least one of the one or more optically transmissive units provides an optical signal path between an optical element on the first substrate and an optical element on the second substrate.
