Abstract
According to one embodiment, a photocoupler includes a light emitting element, a light receiving element, a bonding layer, input terminals, output terminals and a molded resin body. A light emitting element includes a transparent support substrate, a semiconductor stacked body, and first and second electrodes. A light receiving element includes a light reception surface, a first electrode, and a second electrode. A bonding layer is configured to bond the first surface of the support substrate to the light reception surface side of the light receiving element. The bonding layer is transparent and insulative. Input terminals are connected to the first and second electrodes of the light emitting element. Output terminals are connected to the first and second electrodes of the light receiving element. The light reception surface is included in the light emitting surface. An input electrical signal is converted into an output electrical signal.
