A method to manufacture an optoelectronic assembly comprises a step of structuring a first wafer to provide a plurality of optical components to change a beam of light in the optoelectronic assembly with a respective alignment structure being formed to couple the respective optical component to an optical connector. A second wafer is provided with a plurality of optoelectronic components. The first and second wafer are stacked on top of each other, aligned and bonded together. The bonded first and second wafers are separated into a plurality of optoelectronic modules. The optical connector is manufactured by structuring a third wafer so that the third wafer is provided with a plurality of optical connectors. The third wafer is separated into a plurality of the optical connectors. The optical fiber is coupled to one of the optical connectors and then is coupled to one of the separated optoelectronic modules.
