An interface module for connecting LSI packages includes a connecting
member which is to be mounted on an LSI package including an LSI chip and
which includes lines to be electrically connected to the LSI package, an
optoelectronic transducer which is mounted on the connecting member,
which is connected to the lines of the connecting member, and which
converts optical signal to electric signal or converts electric signal to
optical signal, an optical waveguide which includes an optical input end
and an optical output end, one of which is optically connected to the
optoelectronic transducer, and a reinforcing film which is adhered to the
optical waveguide, covering at least one side of the optical waveguide,
and which is secured at one end to the connecting member.
