Carrier plate for opto-electronic elements having a photodiode with a thickness that absorbs a portion of incident light

摘要

A carrier for opto-electronic elements has a carrier plate that is transparent to emitted or absorbed light of an opto-electronic element that is allocated to the carrier. At least one semiconductor structure is inventively deposited on the carrier plate and forms at least one photodiode, whereby the semiconductor structure at least partly absorbs light impinging on the carrier plate. This makes light detection possible in a simple and highly integrated fashion. A transmitting device and a receiving device can be formed with this kind of carrier.
