Abstract
A support designed for hybrid optoelectronics, including at least one integrated optical guide and including a substrate on which the optical guide has been created by depositing a suitable material on the substrate to create a lower confinement layer, a guide core layer, and an upper confinement layer. The optical guide is designed to be optically connected to an optoelectronic component mounted on the support, in which the support positions the component to ensure its optical alignment with the optical guide. The support includes abutments located at the core level, or defined in a confinement layer in relation to the core layer, to ensure the vertical positioning of the component. The invention also relates to processes for producing the support.
