A light-emitting device with a protection layer for Zn inter-diffusion and a process to form the device are described. The device of the invention provides an active layer containing aluminum (Al) as a group III element, typically AlGaInAs, and protection layers containing silicon (Si) to prevent the inter-diffusion of zing (Zn) atoms contained in p-type layers surrounding the active layer. One of protection layers is put between the active layer and the p-type cladding layer, while, the other of protection layers is disposed between the active layer and the p-type burying layer.

The device described herein may realize the transversely single mode operation by the buried mesa configuration even when the active layer contains aluminum. The method provides a step to form the mesa on a semiconductor substrate with an average dislocation density of 500 to 5000 cm−2, a step to form a protection layer, which prevents the active layer from oxidizing, at least on a side of the active layer, and a step to from a blocking layer so as to cover the protection layer and to bury the mesa.
摘要:
The present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor optical device, in which the unevenness of the burying of the mesa structure may be reduced. The process is configured to form a mask extending along [011] direction on the cap layer, to form a mesa structure by etching the upper cladding layer made of InP, the active region, and the lower cladding layer, to form a surfaces with the (01-1) and the (0-11) planes on both sides of the mesa structure, respectively, by causing the mass transportation, and finally to form the blocking layer by using the mask formed in advance. A semiconductor region with the second conduction type, which is the same with that of the upper cladding layer and is different from that of the lower cladding layer, is grown on the upper cladding layer after removing the mask and the cap layer.

摘要:
In a method of fabricating a semiconductor optical device, a semiconductor region is formed by growing an InP lower film, a active region, an InP upper film and a capping film on a substrate sequentially. Material of the capping film is different from that of InP. Next, a mask is formed on the capping film, and the semiconductor region is etched using the mask to form a semiconductor stripe mesa, which includes an InP lower cladding layer, a active layer, an InP upper cladding layer and a capping layer. The active layer comprises aluminum-based III-V compound. A width of the top surface of the capping layer is greater than that of a width of the bottom surface of the capping layer. A width of the top surface of the InP upper cladding layer is smaller than that of the bottom surface of the InP upper cladding layer. The minimum width of the semiconductor mesa is in the InP upper cladding layer. After forming the semiconductor stripe mesa, thermal process of the semiconductor mesa is carried out in an atmosphere to form a mass transport semiconductor on a side of the InP upper cladding layer, and the atmosphere contains V-group material.
