Patent ID: 8335410

Claim:
An opto-electric hybrid module comprising: an optical waveguide section including a core for transmitting a light beam, and a first cladding layer and a second cladding layer sandwiching the core therebetween; and an opto-electric conversion substrate section including a semiconductor chip for opto-electric conversion having one of a light-emitting section and a light-receiving section, an electrode, and a bonding wire electrically connecting the semiconductor chip and the electrode to each other and having a loop portion, the core having a portion provided in the form of a reflecting surface for reflecting a light beam to allow light transmission between the core and the semiconductor chip, the first cladding layer of the optical waveguide section having a recessed portion formed in an opposite surface thereof from the core, at least part of the one of the light-emitting section and the light-receiving section of the semiconductor chip of the opto-electric conversion substrate section being positioned within the recessed portion, at least part of the loop portion of the bonding wire of the opto-electric conversion substrate section being positioned within the recessed portion, the opto-electric conversion substrate section and the optical waveguide section being integrated together.
