摘要:
A method of growing a semiconductor layer in a selective area by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) and a mask pattern for s ame, includes a first mask pattern and a second mask pattern that are formed on a semiconductor substrate having a (100) crystalline plane. The first mask pattern has a first window wider than the selective area and a second mask pattern has a second window and a third window. The second window is defined by spacing the second mask pattern from the first mask pattern, in correspondence with a blocking area for blocking the surface migration of III-group semiconductor source gases at edges of the first window. The third window is as wide as the selective area. The semiconductor layer is grown by MOCVD on the semiconductor substrate exposed by the second and third windows. Trenches can be etched in the second and third windows and growth layers extend from the trench beyond the surface of the InP to block gas dispersion.

A semiconductor optical device including an SSC region includes a semiconductor substrate, a lower clad layer grown on the semiconductor substrate, and an upper clad layer grown on the lower clad layer. The semiconductor optical device with an SSC (Spot Size Conversion) area includes a gain area including an active layer grown between the lower clad layer and the upper clad layer to generate/amplify an optical signal; and an SSC (Spot Size Conversion) area including a waveguide layer extended from the active layer positioned between the lower and upper clad layers, such that it performs a spot size conversion (SSC) process of the optical signal generated from the gain area and generates the SSC-processed optical signal. The waveguide layer of the SSC area is configured to gradually reduce its thickness in proportion to a distance from the active layer, and the upper clad layer is etched in the form of a taper structure such that the taper structure has a narrower width in proportion to a distance from one end of the semiconductor optical device having the gain area to the other end of the semiconductor optical device having the SSC area.

A WDM optical transmitter using a wideband gain laser comprises a plurality of wideband gain lasers and a wavelength division multiplexer. Each wideband gain laser includes a gain medium with a 3 dB bandwidth of 40 nm or more at a threshold current, and it amplifies corresponding incoherent light injected into the gain medium and outputs a corresponding channel. The multiplexer multiplexes channels, outputted from the wideband gain lasers, into an optical signal in a WDM scheme and outputs the multiplexed optical signal.

The present invention relates to a method of mass fabricating a hyperboloid-drum element which is uniform in size and with the diameter of an active layer (active region or gain medium) ranging from tens of nm to less than a few μm, and to an element fabricated thereby. According to the present invention, the fabrication method of the hyperboloid-drum element comprises forming an epitaxial layer which includes an n-type semiconductor joined with a p-type semiconductor on a substrate and an active region near a border region and a boundary between the n-type semiconductor and the p-type semiconductor; and etching the epitaxial layer into a shape of the hyperboloid-drum having the minimum diameter at the active region by an ion-beam etching method. The hyperboloid-drum element fabricated in accordance with the present invention has advantages of uniformity in size and good reproducibility.
