Abstract
Provided are an opto-electric hybrid board which eliminates the necessity of an aligning operation of a core of an optical waveguide unit and an optical element of an electric circuit unit and which is excellent in mass-productivity, and a manufacturing method therefor. The opto-electric hybrid board includes an optical waveguide unit and an electric circuit unit having an optical element mounted thereon, the electric circuit unit being coupled to the optical waveguide unit. The optical waveguide unit includes protruding portions which are extendingly provided at portions of at least one of the undercladding layer and the overcladding layer, and are located and formed at predetermined locations with respect to a light transmitting surface of a core. The electric circuit unit includes fitting holes into which the protruding portions fit, and are located and formed at predetermined locations with respect to the optical element.
