An optical mount substrate and a manufacturing method of the optical mount substrate.
An optical fiber guide section for arranging and fixing an optical transfer section,
having an optical waveguide or an optical fiber, is formed. An electrical conductivity
member is embedded in the optical mount substrate so that it penetrates a first
principal plane of an arrangement section for arranging an optical device optically
connected with the optical waveguide or the optical fiber on the first principal
plane, and a second principal plane of the arrangement section parallel to the
first principal plane. The optical fiber guide section and the arrangement section
are formed by pressing a mold member to a heated and softened substrate to transfer
inversion geometry of the mold member onto the substrate. The electrical conductivity
member, having a predetermined shape, is directly pressed onto the heated and softened
substrate to embed it into the substrate.
