Abstract:
1. A semiconductor optical integrated device comprising: a substrate having a main surface including a first region and a second region arranged along a waveguiding direction; a metal film arranged on a back surface of the substrate; a gain region including a first cladding layer of a first conductivity type, an active layer, and a second cladding layer of a second conductivity type arranged on the first region of the main surface; and a wavelength control region including a third cladding layer, an optical waveguide layer, and a fourth cladding layer arranged on the second region of the main surface and including a heater arranged along the optical waveguide layer, wherein the substrate includes a through hole that extends from the back surface of the substrate in the thickness direction and that reaches the first region of the main surface, a metal member is arranged in the through hole, the metal member extending from the back surface of the substrate in the thickness direction and being in contact with the first cladding layer, and the metal film has an opening formed in a region superimposed on the second region when viewed from the thickness direction of the substrate.
