とが好ましい。It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The radius of the step formed at the border of 0.1 to 1.
By providing an R surface of 0 mm or a C surface having a width of 0.1 to 1.0 mm, the mechanical strength of the metal base 1 is increased and at the same time, when attaching both end regions B of the metal base 2 to an external member. Can be more effectively prevented from being transmitted to the central region A, whereby the alignment between the optical semiconductor element 6 and the optical fiber 9 can be made more accurate.
Therefore, the metal substrate 1 has a step formed at the boundary between the center region A and the both end regions B, an R surface having a radius of 0.1 to 1.0 mm,
Alternatively, it is preferable to provide a C surface having a width of 0.1 to 1.0 mm.

が可能となる。According to the package for housing an optical semiconductor element of the present invention, the thickness (T) of both end regions of the metal base is set to 1.0 ≧
T ≧ 0.3 (mm), and the thickness (X) of the central region is X ≧
Since the step is provided as 2T, when the optical semiconductor element is bonded and fixed to the central region of the metal base and the screwed portions at the both end regions are fixed to the external member, the stress accompanying the warp correction of the metal base is increased at both ends of the metal base. It is absorbed by deforming the area and is not transmitted to the central area at all. As a result, the optical semiconductor element bonded and fixed to the central area of the metal base always has a fixed position, and the optical semiconductor element and the optical fiber It is possible to transmit the light excited by the optical semiconductor element to the outside via the optical fiber satisfactorily by making the alignment of the optical semiconductor element accurate.
