Patent ID: 7058309

Claim:
An optoelectronic transceiver, comprising: a substrate element comprising a first electrical conductor track and a second electrical conductor track; an optoelectronic transmitting unit disposed on a portion of said substrate element and electrically connected to said first electrical conductor track, said optoelectronic transmitting unit comprising: a radiation-emitting layer region; and an optoelectronic receiving unit electrically connected to said second electrical conductor track and is disposed in bridge-like fashion above said optoelectronic transmitting unit along a common optical axis via a spacer attached to said substrate so that said optoelectronic receiving unit is spaced from said substrate, said optoelectronic receiving unit comprising: an active radiation-sensitive layer region disposed perpendicular to said optical axis and located in a thin membrane, which is disposed immediately in front of said radiation-emitting layer region of said optoelectronic transmitting unit.
