Optoelectronic modules having fluid permeable channels and methods for manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing an optoelectronic module from a plurality of optoelectronic modules, the method comprising the steps of:

• electrically mounting a plurality of active optoelectronic components to an active optoelectronic component substrate, the active optoelectronic component substrate being laterally surrounded by a spacer forming a chamber, the spacer including
• an optical component mounting surface,
• a fluid permeable channel formed within the spacer which comprises a fluid-permeable membrane and is operable to permit the outflow of fluids from the chamber, and
• module mounting surface, and wherein an adhesive channel partially surrounds the chamber from a top view facing the optical component mounting surface, wherein the fluid-permeable channel extends into the module mounting surface;
• applying an adhesive to the optical component mounting surface comprising filling the adhesive channel with the adhesive;
• mounting an optical component to the optical component mounting surface;
• curing the adhesive;
• mounting the optoelectronic module via the module mounting surface to an adhesive substrate;
• and
• separating the plurality of optoelectronic modules into singulated optoelectronic modules.
