    摘要: A method of fabricating a semiconductor laser device includes the steps of forming semiconductor layers composed of a first conductive type cladding layer, an active layer, and a second conductive type cladding layer on a substrate, and peeling a device formation region of the semiconductor layers from the substrate and simultaneously forming a resonance mirror on an end portion of the device formation region by irradiating the device formation region with energy beams traveling from the back surface side of the substrate. With this configuration, it is possible to peel a device from a substrate and also form a flat resonance mirror with less damage of crystal by laser abrasion, and further to easily form a high quality resonance mirror without increasing the number of fabrication steps.

    摘要: As a method for manufacturing a laser diode using a group III nitride compound semiconductor, independent dry etching process for forming electrodes and mirror facets are adopted. A portion of an upper semiconductor layer is etched for forming a window. An electrode for a lower semiconductor layer is formed through the window. After electrodes are formed, then, etching is carried out for forming mirror facets of laser cavity. This method realizes high oscillation, because the method enhances parallel and vertical degrees of the mirror facets. Further, cleanness of the mirror facets are improved, because they are formed after the electrodes are formed. The method further lowers resistivity of lower semiconductor layer, because its thickness can be controlled easily without etching excessively. As a result, luminous efficiency is improved.

    摘要: In a semiconductor laser element which has a semiconductor block including a first end surface, a second end surface opposite to the first end surface, and a principal surface contiguous to the first and the second end surfaces, the internal end surface is defined by forming a groove from the principal surface, creating an internal end surface opposite to the second end surface and nearer to the second end surface than the first end surface is. The internal end surface serves as a front laser beam emitting surface while the second end surface serves as a rear laser beam emitting surface. Thus, an optical resonator is provided between the internal and the second end surfaces. The internal end surface is spaced apart from the second end surface by a length of 150 .mu.m, which is different from a length of the semiconductor block.

    摘要: A method for cleaving semiconductor devices along planes accurately positioned. Resist is applied to a major surface of the semiconductor device and a mask is projected upon the resist covered major surface. The mask is opaque in those regions in which no cleave is desired. Following the exposure of the resist, the removal of the mask and the development of the resist, an ion beam is positioned incident upon the semiconductor surface such that ion beam etching occurs in the areas in which no resist covers the semiconductor structure. Once a sufficient depth is etched in the areas not covered with resist such that the strength of the semiconductor structure in those areas is significantly less than in those areas covered by resist, the ion beam etching process is ended and the resist is stripped from the semiconductor structure. Subsequently, force is applied within the area in which the ion beam etching occurred to cleave the semiconductor structure within that region. Such cleaving may occur either prior or subsequent to etching of facets for the semiconductor devices.

    摘要: A surface-emitting semiconductor injection laser for use in fabricating high-power two-dimensional monolithic laser arrays. The surface-emitting semiconductor laser includes a substrate and an active layer and a pair of cladding layers formed on the substrate. A folded resonator cavity is formed by highly-reflective 45.degree. and 90.degree. micromirrors that are etched at either end of the active layer and by a partially-reflective reflector that is positioned between the 45.degree. micromirror and the substrate for outcoupling the laser light from the resonator cavity. The semiconductor laser is mounted junction down on a heat sink to position the active layer close to the heat sink for good heat dissipation at high power levels. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the substrate is optically opaque and an opening is etched in the substrate for outcoupling the laser light. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the substrate is optically transparent and a microlens is formed on the substrate to collimate the laser light.

    摘要: A method, and device produced therewith, for improving the planarity of etched mirror facets 18 of integrated optic structures with non-planar stripe waveguides, such as ridge or groove diode lasers or passive devices such as modulators and switches. The curvature of the mirror facet surface at the edges of the waveguide due to topographical, lithographical and etch process effects, causes detrimental phase distortions, and is avoided by widening the waveguide end near the mirror surface thereby shifting the curved facet regions away from the light mode region to surface regions where curvature is not critical.
