Abstract:
A method of producing an optical module which includes an optoelectronic semiconductor device, a lens, and a resin housing provided with a portion for mounting the optoelectronic semiconductor device, the lens being built into the resin housing, the optoelectronic semiconductor device being mounted in the resin housing so that the built-in lens and the optoelectronic semiconductor device are positioned coaxially, whereina resin housing is molded through two molding steps of: producing a primarily moldeded piece with a resin by insert-molding a lens so that the lens is held in the primarily molded piece; and insert-molding the primarily molded piece into a secondarily molded resin portion for form a final shape of the housing having a lens and a portion for mounting an optoelectronic semiconductor device.
