    摘要: A method for producing a semiconductor laser device includes the steps of: forming window layers on either one of a top surface of an internal structure or a reverse surface of a substrate and on light-emitting end facets of the internal structure; forming a reflection film on the light-emitting end facets; removing the window layer formed on either one of the top surface or the reverse surface by using an etchant which hardly etches the reflection film; and forming electrodes on the surface from which the window layer is removed by etching and on the other surface. Another method for producing a semiconductor laser device includes the steps of: forming window layers on light-emitting end facets of the bars; inserting the bars into an apparatus having openings for forming electrodes and a supporting portion for preventing a positional shift between the bars and the openings, and forming the electrodes on the top surfaces and the reverse surfaces of the bars; and cutting the bars into the chips.

    摘要: A surface electrode on a surface of a LED has a pad, and further, at least first-order branches linearly extending from the pad, second-order branches diverged and linearly extending from the first-order branches, and third-order branches diverged and linearly extending from the second-order branches. The pad out of the surface electrode is not in electrical contact with a underlying semiconductor layer, whereas the surface electrode and the semiconductor layer are in electrical contact with each other at ends of the highest-order branches. Also, the semiconductor layer is provided along a pattern of the surface electrode in a mesa shape. Thus, ineffective light emission underneath the surface electrode is relatively reduced so that external quantum efficiency can be improved, and moreover even shorter-wavelength light can be allowed to go out at high efficiency by omitting a current diffusion layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor light emitting device which allows part of an active layer to generate light by supplying current to the part of the active layer is disclosed. The semiconductor light emitting device includes: a semiconductor substrate having upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface having a stepped portion, the stepped portion dividing the upper surface into at least a first area and a second area; a current confining layer, formed on the upper surface of the substrate, the current confining layer being discontinuous at the stepped portion, the current flowing through an area between the first area and the second area of the substrate; a multilayer structure formed on the current confining layer, the multilayer structure including the active layer; a first electrode which covers only part of an upper surface of the multilayer structure; and a second electrode formed over the lower surface of the substrate. In the semiconductor light emitting device, the light generated from part of the active layer is extracted to the outside through a portion of the upper surface of the multilayer structure which is not covered with the first electrode.

    摘要: A semiconductor laser device includes a substrate having one of p- and n-conductivity types, and a current constrictive layer formed on a surface of the substrate and having the other type of conductivity. The current constrictive layer has a through-channel extending to the surface of the substrate for defining a current path in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The through-channel is of a belt-like pattern extending in a direction perpendicular to end surfaces of the substrate. A third cladding layer having the one type of conductivity is filled in the through-channel, a surface of the third cladding layer being flush with a surface of a current constrictive layer. A first cladding layer, an active layer, and a second cladding layer which constitute a double heterostructure are formed over the third cladding layer and current constrictive layer.
