Abstract
A circuit carrier includes several layers of at least one insulating material and conductor structures located on or in the layers. At least one of the layers is an optical layer which is embedded on both sides in other layers. An optoelectronic component for a circuit carrier is also provided.
Claims16
A circuit carrier, comprising:
- at least one optical layer having two sides;
- other layers in which both of said sides of said at least one optical layer are embedded;
- at least one surface-mountable electro-optical component disposed at least at one of said sides, said electro-optical component having at least one optical connection and electrical connections;
- a carrier surface having a bore formed therein extending at least to within said at least one optical layer;
- and
- an optical deflecting system disposed in the vicinity of said at least one optical layer.
