摘要:
A nitride semiconductor laser device has a nitride semiconductor substrate that includes a dislocation-concentrated region 102 and a wide low-dislocation region and that has the top surface thereof slanted at an angle in the range of 0.3° to 0.7° relative to the C plane and a nitride semiconductor layer laid on top thereof. The nitride semiconductor layer has a depression immediately above the dislocation-concentrated region, and has, in a region thereof other than the depression, a high-quality quantum well active layer with good flatness and without cracks, a layer that, as is grown, readily exhibits p-type conductivity, and a stripe-shaped laser light waveguide region. The laser light waveguide region is formed above the low-dislocation region. This helps realize a nitride semiconductor laser device that offers a longer life.

The present invention includes a first step of forming a nitride semiconductor layer by metal organic chemical vapor deposition by using a first carrier gas containing a nitrogen carrier gas and a hydrogen carrier gas of a flow quantity larger than that of the nitrogen carrier gas to thereby supply a raw material containing Mg and a Group V raw material containing N, and a second step of lowering a temperature by using a second carrier gas to which a material containing N is added, and hence solves the problems.

A nitride semiconductor laser device using a group III nitride semiconductor also as a substrate offers excellent operation characteristics and a long laser oscillation life. In a layered structure of a group III nitride semiconductor formed on a GaN substrate, a laser optical waveguide region is formed elsewhere than right above a dislocation-concentrated region extending so as to vertically penetrate the substrate, and electrodes are formed on the top surface of the layered structure and on the bottom surface of the substrate elsewhere than right above or below the dislocation-concentrated region. In a portion of the top surface of the layered structure and in a portion of the bottom surface of the substrate right above and below the dislocation-concentrated region, dielectric layers may be formed to prevent the electrodes from making contact with those regions.

An aperture 12 for producing an evanescent wave is provided at an n-Au electrode 106. The aperture 12 is directed roughly perpendicularly to a direction in which end faces 104a of an active layer 104 of an optical device oppose to each other, and therefore, laser light generated in the active layer 104 is made incident in the form of the p-polarized light. By the incidence of the p-polarized laser light, an evanescent wave of a comparatively great intensity is obtained from the aperture 12. With this arrangement, an optical device capable of obtaining an evanescent wave of a comparatively great intensity is provided.

A nitride semiconductor light emitting device includes a processed substrate (101a) including a groove and a hill formed on a main surface of a nitride semiconductor substrate, a nitride semiconductor underlayer (102) covering the groove and the hill of the processed substrate, and a light emitting device structure having a light emitting layer (106) including a quantum well layer or a quantum well layer and a barrier layer in contact with the quantum well layer between an n type layer (103-105) and a p type layer (107-110) over the nitride semiconductor underlayer. A current-constricting portion of the light emitting device structure is formed above a region more than 1 μm away from the center of the groove in the width direction and more than 1 μm away from the center of the hill in the width direction.
摘要:
An InGaAlN-based semiconductor laser device, comprising a first layer of a first conductivity type, an active layer having a smaller forbidden band than that of the first layer, and a second layer of a second conductivity type having a larger forbidden band than that of the active layer. The second layer includes a flat region and a stripe-shaped projecting structure. A stripe-shaped optical waveguide forming layer of the second conductivity type having a larger refractive index than that of the second layer is formed on the stripe-shaped projecting structure. A current-constricting layer of the first conductivity type or of a high resistance is formed for covering a top surface of the flat region of the second layer, a side surface of the projecting structure of the second layer, and a side surface of the optical waveguide forming layer. A difference between a thermal expansion coefficient of the current-constricting layer and a thermal expansion coefficient of the second layer is in the range of −4×10−9/° C. to +4×10−9/° C.
