    摘要: A II-VI semiconductor diode laser has a II-VI semiconductor structure disposed atop a semiconductor substrate and covered with a contact layer. A current-blocking layer is disposed on top of this contact layer. The current-blocking layer has an etched groove extending therethrough, to expose a stripe of the contact layer. A metal electrode layer contacts the current-blocking layer and extends into the etched groove to contact the exposed stripe of the contact layer. The current-blocking layer confines the current flow between the metal electrode layer and the contact layer to the stripe of the contact layer exposed by the etched groove.

    摘要: The present invention relates to semiconductor devices with ohmic contact to ZnSe-based layers and lasers derived therefrom wherein BeTe is used in a graded band gap layer. Preferably, an ohmic contact layer of BeTe-containing graded composition is used which consists essentially of Be.sub.x Zn.sub.1-x Te.sub.x Se.sub.1-x wherein x is within the range of 0 and 1 selected so as to provide substantial lattice matching to the lattice structure c the substrate. Specifically, Be.sub.x Zn.sub.1-x Te.sub.x Se.sub.1-x graded gap semiconductor layers are provided for application as ohmic contacts to p-type ZnSe, ZnS.sub.x Se.sub.1-x, Zn.sub.1-x Cd.sub.x S, Zn.sub.1-x Cd.sub.x S.sub.y Se.sub.1-y, Zn.sub.1-x Mg.sub.x S.sub.y Se.sub.1-y (wherein x and y are a number selected from 0 to 1) and other II-VI compound semiconductors used in lasers grown on GaAs substrates. Due to the close lattice match to GaAs substrate, graded (BeTe).sub.x (ZnSe).sub.1-x contact allow for the entire device structure to be grown within the pseudomorphic limit.
