A semiconductor laser includes: a first conductivity type semiconductor substrate; a first conductivity type lower cladding layer disposed on the substrate; a quantum well structure disposed on the lower cladding layer; a second conductivity type upper cladding disposed on the quantum well structure; a ridge including a stripe-shaped second conductivity type semiconductor of a length extending in the laser resonator length direction reaching neither semiconductor laser facet and disposed on the upper cladding layer; disordered regions, i.e, window structures, formed in the quantum well structure in the vicinity of the laser resonator facets by ion-implanting a dopant impurity; and a first conductivity type current blocking layer, disposed on the upper cladding layer on the disordered quantum well structure layer, burying the ridge. Accordingly, in the window structure regions, flow of a current that does not produce laser light is prevented, resulting in a semiconductor laser having a high power light output, a low threshold current, and a low operational current.

A semiconductor device having a semiconductor element and a heat sink radiating heat generated by the semiconductor element includes an amorphous semiconductor film disposed on the heat sink and the semiconductor element disposed on the amorphous semiconductor film. Therefore, the stress applied to the semiconductor element is reduced because of the amorphous semiconductor film. In one structure, an amorphous semiconductor film comprising amorphous silicon or amorphous germanium is sandwiched between first and second metal films and the semiconductor element is bonded to the second metal film. An ohmic contact is made by alloys formed between the amorphous semiconductor film and the first and second metal films.

A superluminescent diode includes a substrate; a double heterojunction structure including a first conductivity type cladding layer, an undoped or first or second conductivity type active layer, and a second conductivity type cladding layer disposed on said substrate; a first conductivity type cap layer disposed on the second conductivity type cladding layer; and a second conductivity type stripe-shaped diffusion region penetrating the cap layer and reaching into the second conductivity type cladding layer. Current is injected into the active layer through the diffusion region. The stripe-shaped diffusion region extends from a front facet toward but not reaching a rear facet and is inclined an angle in a range from 3 to 20 degrees with respect to the front facet. Accordingly, repetition of reflection and amplification of light having a directionality perpendicular to the facets is decreased and the effective reflection of light from both facets is decreased, resulting in an SLD that can operate stably even in high power output operation without inviting laser oscillation and that can be produced with a high yield.

摘要:
Peptide derivatives are obtained by eliminating the masking groups from masked peptide derivatives in which the guanidino group of an arginine residue and the carboxyl group of the arginine residue are masked. The guanidino group can be masked, for example, with a tosyl, nitro or benzyloxycarbonyl group, and the carboxyl group can be masked by converting it to an ester group, for example, a benzyl or t-butyl ester group. The masking groups can be eliminated using hydrogen fluoride, for example.
