A low reflectance film with a second reflectance (50% or lower) lower than a first reflectance is formed between an optical directional coupler and a first-layer wiring with the first reflectance. Thus, even when the first-layer wiring is formed above the optical directional coupler, the influence of the light reflected by the first-layer wiring on the optical signal propagating through the first optical waveguide and the second optical waveguide of the optical directional coupler can be reduced. Accordingly, the first-layer wiring can be arranged above the optical directional coupler, and the restriction on the layout of the first-layer wiring is relaxed. |
