A method of manufacturing a printed circuit board in which optical
waveguides are formed for transmitting optical signals together with
electrical signals, which includes a cladding, a core embedded in the
cladding that transmits optical signals, and a wiring pattern embedded in
the cladding that transmits electrical signals, can offer improved
optical connection efficiency and reduced material costs by enabling the
cladding to act as an insulation layer and embedding the wiring pattern
in the cladding.
