摘要:
Disclosed is a nitride based III-V group compound semiconductor laser device of ridge waveguide type with an oscillation wavelength of about 410 nm which has a low driving voltage, a high half-width value &thgr;// of a FFP in a direction horizontal to a hetero interface, and a high kink level (i.e., good light output-injected current characteristics over the high-output range). This laser device is similar in structure to the related-art semiconductor laser device except for the current constricting layer formed in a ridge. It has a stacked film composed of an SiO2 film (600 Å thick) and an amorphous Si film (300 Å thick) which are formed on the SiO2 film by vapor deposition. The stacked film covers both sides of the ridge and a p-AlGaN cladding layer extending sideward from the base of the ridge. The SiO2 film and Si film have respective thicknesses which are established such that the absorption coefficient of fundamental horizontal lateral mode is larger than the absorption coefficient of primary horizontal lateral mode. This structure results in a higher kink level, while suppressing the high-order horizontal lateral mode, a larger effective refractive index difference &Dgr;n, and a larger value of &thgr;// without the necessity for reducing the ridge width.

A semiconductor laser includes semiconductor layers stacked on a substrate, and a pair of resonator end surfaces opposed to each other in the direction perpendicular to the stacking direction. In this semiconductor laser, a light emission side reflecting film is formed on one of the resonator end surfaces. A refractive index of the reflecting film against an emission wavelength of laser light is set to a value between an effective refractive index and a refractive index of the substrate. Another semiconductor laser includes a light emission function layer stack including a cladding layer and an active layer formed on one place of a translucent substrate; two electrodes having different polarities, which are provided on the light emission function layer stack side; and a light leakage preventive film formed on the other plane of the translucent substrate.

摘要:
It is intended to provide a semiconductor device, its manufacturing method and substrate for manufacturing the semiconductor device which ensures that good cleavable surfaces be made stably in a semiconductor layer under precise control upon making edges of cleaves surfaces in the semiconductor layer stacked on a substrate even when the substrate is non-cleavable, difficult to cleave or different in cleavable orientation from the semiconductor layer. A semiconductor layer 2 made of III-V compound semiconductors is stacked to form a laser structure on a sapphire substrate 1. In selective locations other than the location of a ridge stripe portion 11 and a mesa portion 12 along a portion of a semiconductor layer 2 where a cavity edge 3 should be made, namely, in locations at opposite sides of the mesa portion 12, stripe-shaped cleavage-assist grooves 4 are made to extend in parallel to the (11-20)-oriented surface of the semiconductor layer 2, and the semiconductor layer 2 and the sapphire substrate 1 are cleaved from the cleavage-assist groove 4 to make the cavity edge 3 made up of the cleavable surface of the semiconductor layer 2.
