1. A method of forming a polymer on a substrate, comprising the steps of:
- providing a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface and having an opening;
providing at least one electronic component coupled to the top surface of the substrate;
providing a base having a cavity formed therein;
disposing a release film between the substrate and the base;
disposing the substrate over the base wherein the top surface of the substrate is adjacent the base and the at least one electronic component is disposed over the cavity;
dispensing through the opening in the substrate a polymer in the cavity of the base, wherein the polymer forms a polymeric body surrounding at least a portion of the substrate and the at least one electronic component; and
curing the polymeric body.

Abstract
An optoelectronic device is fabricated by casting a transparent polymeric body surrounding an electronic component. A reflective layer is formed over the polymeric body. The reflective layer acts as a mirror to reflect light emitted by one electronic component to another electronic component which receives the light. By casting the polymeric body, a consistent and defined shape for optical transmission is provided for forming the shape of the reflective layer.
