A method of manufacturing an optical waveguide device includes providing an optical
fiber guide for fixing an optical fiber and optical element placing portions for
providing element mounting benches outside a waveguide fixing region of a silicon
substrate. A metallic thin film is formed outside the waveguide fixing region of
the silicon substrate. After an optical waveguide substrate is bonded to a whole
of an upper surface of the silicon substrate through a bonding resin which will
become an upper cladding layer, the optical waveguide substrate is diced along
an edge of the waveguide fixing region, and the optical waveguide substrate outside
the waveguide fixing region is removed to expose the optical fiber guide and the
optical element placing portions.
