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
detecting light beam from the top side, and have top contact pads on the
top side. An optically transparent superstrate is attached to the top
side. Micro-optic devices such as lenses can be attached to the
superstrate. Top contact pads are connected to bottom contact pads. The
bottom contact pads are attached to matching pads of an integrated circuit
chip to produce an opto-electronic integrated circuit.
