Abstract

A photoelectric hybrid device includes an optical connector on a flat optical surface at one end of vertical optical waveguides for inputting and outputting an optical signal. Integration of the photoelectric hybrid device into an interposer or the like is standardized. The photoelectric hybrid device includes: conductive pins connected to an electric signal pathway for a photoelectric hybrid substrate; a translucent member having a flat optical surface and a translucent part; and self-organizing optical waveguides that form an optical path between the translucent part and an optical waveguide. The flat optical surface is not lower than the tops of the electrical connection parts on the conductive pins. Collision of the optical connector and the tops of the electrical connection parts can be avoided when an optical connector on which an optical waveguide that transmits an optical signal among the optical waveguides.
