摘要:
A laser diode having nano patterns is disposed on a substrate. A first conductive-type clad layer is disposed on the substrate, and a second conductive-type clad layer is disposed on the first conductive-type clad layer. An active layer is interposed between the first conductive-type clad layer and the second conductive-type clad layer. Column-shaped nano patterns are arranged at a surface of the second conductive-type clad layer to form a laser diode such as a distributed feedback laser diode.

Provided are a group-III nitride semiconductor laser device with a laser cavity to enable a low threshold current on a semipolar surface of a hexagonal group-III nitride, and a method for fabricating the group-III nitride semiconductor laser device on a stable basis. Notches, e.g., notch 113a and others, are formed at four respective corners of a first surface 13a located on the anode side of a group-III nitride semiconductor laser device 11. The notch 113a or the like is a part of a scribed groove provided for separation of the device 11. The scribed grooves are formed with a laser scriber and the shape of the scribed grooves is adjusted by controlling the laser scriber. For example, a ratio of the depth of the notch 113a or the like to the thickness of the group-III nitride semiconductor laser device 11 is not less than 0.05 and not more than 0.4, a tilt of a side wall surface at an end of the notch 113a is not less than 45° and not more than 85°, and a tilt of a side wall surface at an end of the notch 113b is not less than 10° and not more than 30°.

A method for fabricating a III-nitride semiconductor laser device includes: forming a substrate product having a laser structure; scribing a first surface of the substrate product to form a scribed mark, which extends along a reference line indicative of a direction of the a-axis of the hexagonal III-nitride semiconductor, on the first surface, a scribed mark; mounting the substrate product on a breaking device to support first and second regions of the substrate product by first and second support portions, respectively, of the breaking device; and carrying out breakup of the substrate product by press in alignment with the scribed mark in a third region, without supporting the third region of the substrate product located between the first and second regions, to form another substrate product and a laser bar. First and second end faces of the laser bar form a laser cavity of the III-nitride semiconductor laser device.

摘要:
In the method for fabricating a III-nitride semiconductor laser device, a substrate product is formed, and the substrate product has a laser structure including a substrate that is made of a hexagonal III-nitride semiconductor and has a semipolar primary surface, and the semiconductor region is formed on the semipolar primary surface, and thereafter a first surface of the substrate product is scribed to form a scribed mark extending in a direction of the a-axis of the hexagonal III-nitride semiconductor. After forming the scribed mark, breakup of the substrate product is carried out by press against a second region of the substrate product while supporting a first region of the substrate product but not supporting the second region. This step results in forming another substrate product and a laser bar. The substrate product is divided into two, the first region and the second region, by a predetermined reference line, and the first and second regions are adjacent to each other. The laser bar has first and second end faces that extend from the first surface to a second surface and are formed by the breakup. The first and second end faces form a laser cavity of the III-nitride semiconductor laser device. The c-axis of the hexagonal III-nitride semiconductor of the substrate is inclined at an angle ALPHA with respect to a normal axis toward the m-axis of the hexagonal III-nitride semiconductor. The first and second end faces intersect with an m-n plane defined by the m-axis of the hexagonal III-nitride semiconductor and the normal axis.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of largely increasing the yield and a semiconductor device manufactured by using the method is provided. After a semiconductor layer is formed on a substrate, as one group, a plurality of functional portions with at least one parameter value different from each other is formed in the semiconductor layer for every unit chip area. Then, a subject that is changed depending on the parameter value is measured and evaluated and after that, the substrate is divided for every chip area so that a functional portion corresponding with a given criterion as a result of the evaluation is not broken. Thereby, at least one functional portion corresponding with a given criterion can be formed by every chip area by appropriately adjusting each parameter value.
