Present invention is to provide a process for producing an opto-electronic integrated circuit comprising a field effect transistor as an electronic device and a photo-diode as an optical device both formed on an InP substrate, the field effect transistor comprising a high electron mobility transistor having: a GaInAs layer epitaxially grown on the InP substrate in a preset region thereof, a n-AlInAs layer epitaxially grown on the GaInAs layer, a gate electrode formed on the AlInAs layer, and a source electrode and a drain electrode formed on the AlInAs layer with the gate electrode therebetween, and the photo-diode comprising a PIN photo-diode having: the GaInAs layer epitaxially grown on the InP substrate near the region of the field effect transistor simultaneously with the growth of that of the field effect transistor, the n-AlInAs layer epitaxially grown on the GaInAs layer simultaneously with the growth of that of the field effect transistor, a n-InP layer epitaxially grown on the n-AlInAs layer, an undoped GaInAs layer epitaxially grown on the n-InP layer in a preset region thereof, a p-GaInAs layer epitaxially grown on the undoped GaInAs layer, an anode electrode formed on the p-GaInAs layer, and a cathode electrode formed on the n-InP layer near the undoped GaInAs layer.

According to this invention, a first cladding layer (2) of a first conductivity type, an active layer (3), a second cladding layer (4) of a second conductivity type, and a cap layer (5) much more susceptible to side etching than the second cladding layer (4) are sequentially grown on a (100) crystal plane of a semiconductor substrate (1) of the first conductivity type, and a stripe-like mask (7) extending in a direction is formed on the grown substrate to etch the stacked substrate. This etching is performed in a crystal orientation for forming an reverse triangular mesa. However, since the cap layer (5) is made of a material susceptible to side etching, a rounded mesa is formed. Thereafter, when a burying layer (10) is formed on the etched portion by a vapor phase epitaxy method, the burying layer (10) having a flat surface can be obtained depending on crystal orientations.

摘要:
A mass transport process for use in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, particularly but not exclusively low threshold semiconductor lasers in the InP/InGaAsP system, involves the arrangement of a cover wafer (18) of the material to be grown adjacent to a semiconductor wafer (15) on which the material is to be grown, their disposition together with a crystalline alkali halide (20) in a crucible (16), and heating the crucible, which is almost but not completely sealed, in a hydrogen stream. For the manufacture of InP/InGaAsP lasers and the growth of InP, the alkali halide may comprise KI, Rbl or Csl and a controlled amount of In metal (21) may be optionally contained in the crucible (16) to control the balance between growth of InP for defining the laser active region and erosion of InP from other areas of the wafer. Growth is achieved at temperatures comparable with liquid phase epitaxy processing temperatures.

A quaternary semiconductor diffraction grating 21, such as an InGaAsP grating suitable for a DFB laser, is embedded in a semiconductor laser 32, such as InP. In one embodiment, the grating is fabricated by (1) forming on the top surface of an InP layer 10 an epitaxial layer of InGaAsP 11 coated with an epitaxial layer of InP 12 having a thickness which is greater than that of the InGaAsP layer; (2) forming a pattern of apertures 20 penetrating through the layers of InP and InGaAsP; and (3) heating the layers to a temperature sufficient to cause a mass transport of InP from the InP epitaxial layer 22, the thickness of the InP layer being sufficient to bury the entire surface of the InGaAsP layer 21 with InP.
