Patent ID: 7233027

Claim:
An arrangement with at least two different electronic semiconductor circuits, where each of the semiconductor circuits is a component made of semiconductor material which comprises an electrically active surface and electrical contacts, and where corresponding contacts of the semiconductor circuits are interconnected in an electrically conductive manner, characterized in that the semiconductor circuits (HS) are produced within a common support ( 12 ) made of a homogeneous semiconductor material in a one-piece unit and are interconnected in an electrically conductive manner; the support ( 12 ) is metallized so as to provide electrically conductive contacts ( 18 ) on its surface which are connected to the semiconductor circuits (HS) so as to obtain very short connections suitable for semiconductor circuits (HS) that operate at very high frequencies; and the support ( 12 ) comprises an expansion ( 13 ) for receiving other circuit elements or components; wherein the expansion is made of the same material as the support ( 12 ) and forms a one-piece unit with it, and further wherein said expansion ( 13 ) contains at least one groove ( 19 ) for receiving an optical fiber, and wherein relays, lenses, optical filters and/or mirror elements are installed on the expansion ( 13 ).
