Opto-electric device

An optical integrated circuit for preventing unnecessary optical waves from outside or scattered in a waveguide. The optical integrated circuit has an substrate, a wave guide which has a core layer and at least a clad layer formed on the substrate, in which an optical wave is guided and transmitted, and a cover layer of which material has a high optical wave absorption ratio, which is formed on the waveguide partially or entirely.
