Original Abstract Submitted

An optical receiver includes a light receiving element, a capacitor, a transimpedance amplifier, and a base. The light receiving element includes a semiconductor layer, a first conductive film electrically connected to a cathode electrode, a second conductive film electrically connected to the first conductive film through a conductor, and an anode pattern electrically connected to an anode electrode. The transimpedance amplifier has a first pad electrically connected to the first conductive film through a first wire and a second pad electrically connected to the anode pattern through a second wire. The base has a main surface. An electrostatic capacitance between the second conductive film and the main surface of the base is larger than a parasitic capacitance between the first conductive film and the second conductive film, and the inductance of the conductor is smaller than the inductance of the first wire.
