Abstract:
1. An optical module which is manufactured from a substrate product having a support substrate and a semiconductor layer disposed on one surface of the support substrate via an insulating layer, the optical module comprising: a movable mirror which includes a portion of the semiconductor layer, and in which a mirror surface is formed on a side face intersecting with a predetermined direction, the movable mirror is movable in the predetermined direction along the one surface by eliminating the insulating layer between the portion of the semiconductor layer and the support substrate; an optical semiconductor element which is a light receiving element or a light emitting element, which is provided on the one surface of the support substrate, and is optically coupled to the mirror surface of the movable mirror, a cap member which is provided on the one surface of the support substrate, the cap member airtight-seals the movable mirror and the optical semiconductor element; and an element electrode part which is provided through the support substrate and the insulating layer, and is electrically connected to the optical semiconductor element.
