The invention provides an optoelectronic assembly for coupling an optical conductor
to a light emitting surface of an optoelectronic semiconductor device on a substrate.
The optoelectronic assembly includes a multilayer having a cavity adapted to receive
and electrically connect the optoelectronic semiconductor device to the multilayer
substrate and a groove leading to the cavity and being adapted to receive and optically
connect the optical conductor to the light emitting surface of said optoelectronic
semiconductor device. The optoelectronic semiconductor device and the optical conductor
are precisely positioned within the cavity and the groove, respectively, so that
light emitted from the light emitting surface of the optoelectronic semiconductor
device couples to an optical surface of the optical conductor.
