An optical semiconductor hermetic sealing package for accommodating an
optical semiconductor element therein, comprising: a frame made of a
metal, an insulator, or a composite of metal and insulator; a first bottom
plate made of a metal fixed to the frame; a second bottom plate whose
Young's modulus is larger than that of the first bottom plate and which is
fixed to the surface of the first bottom plate on the opposite side to the
frame; and a metal block plate that is fixed to the surface of flanges
projecting on both sides of the first bottom plate, on the side of the
second bottom plate. The optical semiconductor hermetic sealing package is
capable of alleviating warping of the bottom plate and has an even more
excellent heat radiating characteristic.
