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.
