Claim:
1. An electrical device comprising: a first electrical component positioned on a first portion of a semiconductor on insulator (SOI) substrate; a second electrical component positioned on a third portion of the SOI substrate; and an optical interconnect positioned on a second portion of the semiconductor substrate that is positioned between the first and third portions of the semiconductor substrate, the optical interconnect is present on at least one interlevel dielectric layer that is present over at least one of the first and second electrical components, the optical interconnect including a III-V light emission device and a III-V light detection device, wherein at least one material layer of at least one of the III-V light emission device and the III-V light detection device is an epitaxial material that is in direct contact with a semiconductor material layer of the SOI substrate.
