Abstract

An optoelectric integrated device includes a three-dimensional solid semiconductor crystal, such as a silicon ball, and a plurality of optical devices including a light-emitting device and a light-receiving device integrated on the surface of the semiconductor crystal. Light is emitted and received between the light-emitting device and the light-receiving device through the interior of the semiconductor crystal used as an optical wiring medium.
