Abstract: When an optical waveguide is formed, an area of an opening of a resist mask is equal to an area of a semiconductor layer for a dummy pattern exposed from the resist mask, and the semiconductor layer for the dummy pattern exposed from the resist mask has a uniform thickness in a region in which the dummy pattern is formed. As a result, an effective pattern density does not change in etching the semiconductor layer for the dummy pattern, and accordingly, it is possible to form a rib-shaped optical waveguide having desired dimensions and a desired shape.

Abstract: An alignment optical measurement element includes a grating coupler, and a reflector coupled to the grating coupler. The alignment optical measurement element is arranged so that: the grating coupler diffracts an incident light in a first direction into a first diffracted light to propagate the first diffracted light as a first propagating light in a second direction, the reflector reflects the first propagating light into a second propagating light in a third direction opposite to the second direction; and the grating coupler diffracts the second propagating light into a second diffracted light to emit the second diffracted light as an emitted light in a fourth direction opposite to the first direction.
