An optical transmission module of the invention uses a semiconductor chip
forming an optical modulator integrated laser on a semi-insulating
semiconductor board. An input transfer line and an anode electrode of an
optical modulator element are connected by a first bonding wire. The
anode electrode of the optical modulator element and one of the ends of a
terminal resistor element are connected by a second bonding wire. A
cathode electrode of the optical modulator element and the other end of
the terminal resistor element are connected by a third bonding wire. The
cathode electrode of the optical modulator element and a ground electrode
are connected by a fourth bonding wire. A joint portion between the first
bonding wire and the input transfer line is arranged on an opposite side
to a joint portion between the fourth bonding wire and the ground
electrode while interposing the semiconductor chip between them.
