Abstract
An optical module has a housing of synthetic resin incorporating a lens therein and a semiconductor device of a metal-cap package structure which is held in optical axis alignment with the lens. The optical module is manufactured in provisional and final fixing stages. In the provisional fixing stage, a first thermosetting resin is applied as a plurality of spaced dots to surfaces, to be joined, of a stem of the semiconductor device and an end of the housing, the lens and the semiconductor device are held in optical axis alignment with each other, and a high-frequency current is supplied to a coil extending around the stem to heat the stem to thermoset the first thermosetting resin by high-frequency induction heating. In the final fixing stage, a second thermosetting resin is deposited in a circumferential pattern on an outer circumferential surface of the stem along the end of the housing, and the second thermosetting resin is thermoset by heating.
