Abstract:
1. A module having a circuit carrier and having an electro-optical transducer mounted thereon, the electro-optical transducer comprising: an optical waveguide holder having an optical waveguide receptacle, an end side and a mounting area on an edge side of the optical waveguide holder; an optoelectronic component having an optically active region on an active top side of a semiconductor chip, and having a housing with a housing outer edge side, on which is arranged at least one contact area for electrically connecting the semiconductor chip to the circuit carrier; and wherein the optoelectronic component is arranged with its optically active region on the end side of the optical waveguide holder in such a way that the optical waveguide receptacle and the optically active region are oriented facing one another; wherein the mounting area arranged essentially at right angles with respect to the end side on the circuit carrier, wherein the end side of the optical waveguide holder is mounted essentially at right angles with respect to the top side of the circuit carrier; and wherein the at least one contact area of the optoelectronic component is oriented facing the top side of the circuit carrier.
