An optical interconnection circuit structure includes a substrate (1), an optical waveguide path (2), a semiconductor optical element (11), and a supporting base (8). The supporting base (8) may be the same material as that for the optical waveguide path (11), as that for the substrate (1), or as that for the semiconductor optical element (11). The supporting base (11) has an appropriately shaped surface or surfaces which abut the semiconductor optical element (11) and a fixing material may be used depending on the shapes of the abutting surfaces. The supporting base (8) thus formed ensures that the semiconductor optical element (11) is stably mounted thereon and securely fixed thereto thereby establishing optical interconnection between the optical waveguide (2) and the semiconductor optical element (11) in a highly efficient and very reliable manner. <IMAGE> |
