Abstract
A semiconductor Mach-Zehnder optical modulator includes input-side lead-out lines, phase modulation electrode lines, and electrodes that apply modulation signals propagating through the phase modulation electrode lines to waveguides, respectively. The semiconductor Mach-Zehnder optical modulator further includes a conductive layer between a substrate and the waveguides, a plurality of first wiring layers connected to the conductive layer, and a second wiring layer that connects an electrode pad and the plurality of first wiring layers.
