A semiconductor package includes a printed wiring board, a logic IC mounted on the printed wiring board, a connector mounted on the printed wiring board, an optical element that is accommodated inside the printed wiring board and converts an optical signal to an electrical signal and/or the electrical signal to the optical signal, an optical waveguide formed between the optical element inside the printed wiring board and the connector on the printed wiring board such that the optical waveguide optically connects the optical element and the connector, and an electrical path formed between the optical element and the logic IC such that the electrical path connects the logic IC and the optical element and that a length of the electrical path is 1 mm or less.
