A substrate for mounting an optical component such that a cylindrical lens can be passively aligned in an exact position, and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The substrate includes a groove, which is recessed into the substrate to have a slanted sidewall; and a stopper, which is formed on the groove using a photolithographic process such that the stopper is in contact with the optical component mounted in the groove and defines a position of the optical component. The method includes forming a groove having a slanted sidewall by etching a substrate and forming a stopper, which is in contact with an optical component mounted in the groove and defines a position of the optical component, by performing a photolithographic process on the substrate having the groove.
