ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns the combination of optical elements with active optoelectronic to monolithic optoelectronic systems. An optoelectronic wafer (1) comprising active optical components (2) is provided with (micro-)optical structures. The optical structures (12, 13) are allocated to the active optical components (2), i.e. they are configured to influence light impinging on the active optical components (2) and/or originating from them in a desired manner. To this end they are either aligned to the optical components or otherwise adjusted to serve this purpose. The combined active optical components/optical structures are separated for example by dicing the semiconductor wafer with the optical structures into parts containing at least one active optical component (2) and at least one optical structure (12, 13).
