Abstract

An optical waveguide device using a thin substrate having an electro-optical effect and having a thickness of 10 μm or less, in which, even when the thin substrate is adhered to a supporting substrate, breakage of the thin substrate or supporting substrate is suppressed, and performance deterioration such as optical loss due to fine cracks is also suppressed. The optical waveguide device includes a thin substrate, which has an electro-optical effect and a thickness of 10 μm or less, and in which an optical waveguide is formed, and a supporting substrate that is adhered to the thin substrate through an adhesion layer. A structure is formed in a thin-substrate side surface of the supporting substrate, and the supporting substrate is annealed at a high temperature that is equal to or lower than the Curie temperature after forming the concavo-convex structure and before being adhered to the thin substrate.
