In an existing optical semiconductor integrated circuit device, a multi-layered wiring layer is formed on a top surface of a substrate. Therefore, a film thickness of an insulating layer on a top surface of a photodiode could be uniformed with difficulty. Thus there was a problem in the constitution of the insulating layer wherein light incidence was caused to fluctuate, and thereby a desired sensitivity to light could not be obtained. In an optical semiconductor integrated circuit device according to the present invention, after a multi-layered wiring layer is formed on a top surface of a substrate, an insulating layer on a top surface of an anti-reflection film of a photodiode is dry-etched to remove. At this time, a barrier metal layer is used as an etching stopper film. Thereby, in the invention, a manufacturing process can be simplified and owing to adoption of the dry etching miniaturization can be realized. Furthermore, since the anti-reflection film is exposed from the insulating layer, fluctuation of incident light can be suppressed and the sensitivity to light can be improved.
