This invention provides optical interconnection apparatus, which permit easy optical interconnections without a loss in the intactness of a routing pattern of optical fibers, and also their fabrication processes. An optical interconnection apparatus according to this invention has a base film 1 having a two-dimensional plane, plural optical fibers 4 routed on the base film, an edge-dam 7 arranged along or in a vicinity of a peripheral edge of the base film, a protective resin layer 2 holding in place and protecting the plural optical fibers routed on the two-dimensional plane of the base film, and end portions 5 located at opposite ends of the optical fibers and adapted to permit optical interconnections. The protective resin layer is formed, for example, by filling a resin material inside the edge-dam arranged along or in the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the base film and then solidifying it. <IMAGE> |
