In an optical circuit divided into a plurality of partial circuits, an optical waveguide having a low optical loss at a connection portion is provided. A photomask in which a waveguide pattern of an optical circuit is divided into a plurality of regions and drawn, the photomask including a waveguide pattern for drawing a joint region in which a waveguide width changes as a waveguide goes toward an outer peripheral portion, to connect a plurality of the waveguides divided and drawn to each other, in which the waveguides are connected to each other by overlapping the joint regions of two of the photomasks and performing exposure.
