Abstract
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor optical device includes a step of bonding a semiconductor element to a substrate that includes silicon, the semiconductor element being made of a III-V compound semiconductor and having optical gain; after the step of bonding the semiconductor element, a step of molding the semiconductor element by wet-etching; and after the step of molding the semiconductor element, a step of forming a mesa at the semiconductor element. The substrate includes a waveguide, a groove that extends along the waveguide, a terrace that is positioned on a side of the groove opposite to the waveguide, and a wall that covers the groove. The step of bonding the semiconductor element is a step of bonding the semiconductor element to the waveguide, the groove, the terrace, and the wall of the substrate.
