Abstract
In an integrated optoelectronic microelectronic system, an optoelectronically active diode part is formed in a semiconductor substrate by zones forming depletion layers. The system is provided in a mesa that stands vertically on a semiconductor substrate and runs in a direction of extension thereof. A light waveguide is optically coupled to the diode part in such a way that light is coupled into the diode part via the mesa side wall.
