Abstract
An opto-electric integrated circuit includes an optical waveguide formed using a portion of an insulation layer on a silicon substrate to form a lower clad and using a portion of a semiconductor layer formed on the insulation layer to form a core. The opto-electric integrated circuit also includes an optical device connected to the optical waveguide, an electrical circuit connected to the optical device, a mesa-shaped connection section interconnecting the optical device and the electrical circuit, and an electrically conductive film formed in a region at least containing a flank surface of the connection section. The electrically conductive film is grounded while contacting the silicon substrate.
