TOP ILLUMINATED OPTO-ELECTRONIC DEVICES INTEGRATED WITH MICRO-OPTICS AND ELECTRONIC INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

摘要

An opto-electronic integrated circuit device includes top emitter/detector devices on a substrate. The top emitter/detector devices have top and bottom sides. The top emitter/detector devices are capable of emitting and detectin g light beam from the top side, and have contact pads on this side. An optical ly transparent superstrate is attached to the top side. Micro-optic devices suc h as lenses can be attached to the superstrate. The contact pads are attached to matching pads of an integrated circuit chip to produce an opto-electronic integrated circuit.
