Abstract:
In an optical waveguide section of an SIS type having a configuration of stacking a second semiconductor layer over a first semiconductor layer with a dielectric layer interposed, the first semiconductor layer is electrically coupled to a first electrode at a first lead-out section where the second semiconductor layer is not stacked. Further, the second semiconductor layer is electrically coupled to a second electrode at a second lead-out section not overlapping with the first semiconductor layer. As a result, when a contact hole for forming the second electrode is formed by dry etching, the dielectric layer between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer is not damaged or broken and hence short-circuit failure between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer can be prevented. The reliability of the optical waveguide section therefore can be improved.

Claim (Index 9):
The semiconductor device according to  claim 4 , wherein the first electrode and the second electrode deviate from each other in a direction intersecting with a direction of propagating the light and being parallel with the first surface in a plan view.
