An optical interconnect device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, an optical waveguide, an electrical wiring and a switching device. The first substrate has an electrical wiring circuit, an electrical-optical converter for converting an electrical signal to an optical signal, and a light emitting device for emitting a light. The second substrate has an electrical wiring circuit, an optical-electrical converter for converting the optical signal to the electrical signal, and a light receiving device for receiving the light from the light emitted device. The optical waveguide optically connects the light emitting and light receiving devices. The electrical wiring electrically connects the electrical wiring circuits of the first and second substrates. The switching device determines a fast signal of data to be transmitted via the optical substrate and a slow signal of data to be transmitted via the electrical wiring.

Optical interconnect device and method for manufacturing the same

An optical-electrical transmitting device for transmitting a signal includes an electrical signal transmitting circuit which divides a transmission signal into a first transmission signal and a second transmission signal, a switching device which is electrically connected to receive and converts the first signal into an identification signal for determining the transmission signal to be one of a fast signal and a slow signal, and a selector which is electrically connected to receive the second transmission signal and the identification signal and outputs the second transmission signal to an optical waveguide when the transmission signal is determined to be the fast signal and an electrical wiring when the transmission signal is determined to be the slow signal, the optical waveguide optically connecting the electrical signal transmitting circuit to an electrical signal receiving circuit, the electrical wiring electrically connecting the electrical signal transmitting circuit to the electrical signal receiving circuit.
