Patent ID: 7875901

Claim:
An optical device package comprising: a metal base including a substrate with a predetermined outer shape, a die pad portion connected to the substrate, and protrusions extending along respective sides of the die pad portion, wherein the substrate, the die pad portion, and the protrusions are a single piece of a metal plate, the substrate has two opposed principal surfaces, the die pad portion is bent with respect to and is transverse to the two opposed principal surfaces of the substrate, and the die pad portion is connected to the substrate of the metal base through the protrusions; a first lead electrode intersecting and transverse to the two opposed principal surfaces of the substrate of the metal base; and a resin seal member including a plate-like base portion fixed to the die pad portion, wherein a principal surface of the base portion extends across and along one of the two opposed principal surfaces of the substrate of the metal base, and the first lead electrode protrudes in two directions from the base portion, relative to the direction that the substrate protrudes from the base portion.
