The semiconductor laser used as the light emitting element 16 in this embodiment is an element that emits an optical signal 21 in response to an electric signal applied to the lead 14, and the optical signal 21
Is an element which is mostly emitted from the side wall of the semiconductor chip in the horizontal direction to the surface of the chip. The emitted optical signal 21 passes through the inside of the resin 18 and is reflected by the reflection surface 19. The reflected optical signal 19 is incident on the photodiode 17 of the light receiving element 12 and is again converted into an electric signal corresponding to the incident optical signal 21.

Incidentally, the reflection surface 19 forms the reflection surface 19 at the interface due to the difference in the refractive index between the outside air and the transparent resin 18. However, since not all light is reflected, a metal film may be formed on the reflection surface 19 to form a mirror surface in order to improve the reflection efficiency.

As the coating method, vapor deposition and sputter deposition used in semiconductor technology can be considered, and in addition, plating can be considered. A point to be noted here is a short circuit between the leads 14. In the former two coating methods,
Requires a selection mask. When the whole is dipped in a solution by, for example, electroless plating, plating is performed after attaching a mask of resin or the like to a lead-out portion of the lead 14 in a lead-out portion, and removing the mask. In addition to the dip, this solution may be dropped on the groove to perform plating. As the metal material, gold, Al, nickel and the like can be considered.

This is an example in which an LED element is used as the light emitting element 16. LE
Since the D element emits the optical signal 21 in a substantially vertical direction from the chip surface, a groove 22 is also formed below the chip of the light emitting element 16 so that the optical signal 21 is reflected by the reflecting surface 23 and is reflected again by the reflecting surface 19. In this case, the light-receiving element 12 is introduced into the light-receiving element 12.

FIG. 3 shows a fifth embodiment. This relates to the shape of the light receiving area of the photodiode section 17. In the present invention, it is necessary that the reflecting surface 19 of the groove 20 covers the upper part of the photodiode portion 17 and that the reflecting surface 19 is inclined at an angle of about 45 degrees. Therefore, like the photodiode section 17b in FIG.
The light receiving area is vertically elongated with respect to the transmission path of
If the length L1 is longer than 1, the depth H1 of the groove 20b (FIG. 3B) is required to correspond to this. On the other hand, like the photodiode portion 17a, a shape that is horizontally long with respect to the transmission path of the optical signal 21, that is, the width W2
If the length L2 is sufficiently short, the depth H2 of the corresponding groove 20a may be small. If the depth of the groove 20 is small, the height t of the package outer shape can naturally be kept low. Therefore, the photodiode portion 17 is formed by using the entire width of the semiconductor chip forming the light receiving element 12.
If the length L2 in the vertical direction is designed to be as short as possible, it is possible to contribute to the reduction in the thickness of the package.

The bending direction of the tip can be either up or down. Since the island 10 for the light receiving element 12 is made of metal and has a light-shielding property, if the chip of the light receiving element 12 is bent so as to face downward (toward the printed circuit board side) when mounted, unnecessary light from the outside is obtained. Can be prevented from malfunctioning due to the incidence of light. After the resin 18 is shaped, the entire surface is sealed again with a light-shielding resin, so that unnecessary light can be completely prevented from entering.
