A manufacturing method of an optical member for optical path conversion to
be connected to an optical waveguide provided in a substrate includes
forming plural inclined surfaces on a wafer by etching, forming openings
corresponding to the inclined surfaces in a plate-like member, forming a
combined body, in which the inclined surfaces and the openings correspond
to each other, by bonding the wafer and the plate-like member, and
dividing the combined body into small pieces each of which includes the
inclined surface and the opening.
