Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device, comprising: semiconductor layer having a semiconductor integrated circuit, which is for processing an electrical signal, on an upper side of a semiconductor substrate and an optical interconnect layer for transmitting an optical signal are joined, control of modulation of the optical signal transmitted in said optical interconnect layer being performed by the electrical signal from said semiconductor layer, and an electrical signal generated by reception of light in said optical interconnect layer being transmitted to said semiconductor layer; wherein said optical interconnect layer is disposed on an underside of the opposite side to the upper side of said semiconductor substrate, wherein said semiconductor integrated circuit is formed to have an electrode pad for supplying power to said semiconductor integrated circuit externally or for externally extracting an electrical signal from said semiconductor integrated circuit, on the opposite side to the said semiconductor substrate side of said semiconductor integrated circuit.
