Abstract

A small and thin surface-mount type optical semiconductor device having high air tightness, which can be manufactured at a reduced cost includes: a base 2 formed of a glass substrate; a recess 5 formed on a first main surface 3 of the base; a through hole 7 extending from a bottom portion 4 of the recess to a second main surface 6 of the base; an inner wall conductive film formed on an inner wall surface of the through hole; a wiring pattern 9 made of a conductive film formed around an opening of the through hole on the bottom portion of the recess so as to be connected electrically to the inner wall conductive film; an optical semiconductor element 8 bonded to the wiring pattern via a conductive bonding material 14 ; a terminal portion 10 made of a conductive film formed around an opening of the through hole on the second main surface such that it is connected electrically to the inner wall conductive film; and a metal portion 13 bonded to the inner wall conductive film to clog the through hole.

Claims (28)

1. A surface-mount type optical semiconductor device comprising:

a base formed of a glass substrate;

a recess fanned on a first main surface of the base;

a through hole that extends from a bottom surface of the recess to a second main surface of the base, forming a first opening at the bottom surface of the recess and a second opening at the second main surface of the base;

an inner wall conductive film that is formed on an inner wall surface of the through hole;

a wiring pattern that is made of a conductive film formed on the bottom surface of the recess at a region around the first opening of the through hole so as to be connected electrically to the inner wall conductive film;
