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.
