Patent ID: 7466733

Claim:
An optical module comprising: a supporting member; and an optical device chip mounted on the supporting member, wherein the optical device chip includes: a first semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type; an optical layer that emits light or receives light formed above the first semiconductor layer; a second semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type formed above the optical layer; a first electrode electrically connected to the first semiconductor layer; a second electrode electrically connected to the second semiconductor layer; a first conductive section protruding from a pad section of the first electrode; and a second conductive section protruding from a pad section of the second electrode, wherein the first conductive section and the second conductive section are composed of a material different from a material of the first electrode and the second electrode, the first conductive section protrudes toward the second conductive section, and the second conductive section protrudes toward the first conductive section.
