Method of manufacturing an optical semiconductor module

摘要

A method of manufacturing an optical semiconductor module, comprising joining an electronic cooling element to a bottom plate of an optical semiconductor package and mounting an optical semiconductor element on the electronic cooling element, wherein the electronic cooling element is soldered to the bottom plate of the optical semiconductor package in a hydrogen atmosphere. The soldering in a hydrogen atmosphere prevents oxidation of a low temperature solder provided on the uppermost surfaces of the electronic cooling element and conduction of the heat at the soldered joint portion between the electronic cooling element and the optical semiconductor element is improved.
