Abstract

An insulation film (silicon dioxide film) is laminated on a platform substrate of Si, etc., and a transmitting unit wiring pattern and a receiving unit wiring pattern are provided on the insulation film. Although a base intruded in a convex shape is provided at the bottom of a light emitting device (LED) of the platform substrate, this base is not provided at the bottom of a light receiving device, and the insulation film under the light receiving device becomes thick. A groove is formed in a waveguide, and a WDM filter is mounted. A diamond or SiC layer can also be provided beneath the insulation film to improve the insulation resistance, and a conduction layer is provided beneath the diamond or SiC layer. Electrical crosstalk is suppressed by grounding the conduction layer. Optical crosstalk is improved by locating the LED at the entrance/exit of the WDM filter and the light receiving device on the opposite side.
