Abstract:
An optical waveguide formed at the same layer as that of a microscopic optical device and a spot size converter largely different in size are integrally formed. A semiconductor device has an optical waveguide part functioning as a spot size converter. The optical waveguide part includes a plurality of optical waveguide bodies penetrating through an interlayer insulation layer in the thickness direction.

Claim (Index 15):
The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to  claim 14 , further comprising, after the step (e), the steps of:\n (f) forming a second interlayer insulation layer over the first interlayer insulation layer; (g) forming a plurality of second through parts penetrating through the second interlayer insulation layer in the thickness direction, and separated from one another in the second interlayer insulation layer in each of the element formation regions; and (h) burying a film having a higher refractive index than the refractive index of the second interlayer insulation layer in each inside of the second through parts, and forming a second optical waveguide part capable of propagating the light through the inside thereof, wherein one end of the second optical waveguide part is arranged in such a manner as to cover one end of the optical waveguide, and wherein the other end of the second optical waveguide part includes a light receiving surface for receiving the light from the outside.
