The semiconductor light emitting device includes: a semiconductor substrate having upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface having a stepped portion, the stepped portion dividing the upper surface into at least a first area and a second area; a current confining layer, formed on the upper surface of the substrate, the current confining layer being discontinuous at the stepped portion, the current flowing through an area between the first area and the second area of the substrate; a multilayer structure formed on the current confining layer, the multilayer structure including the active layer; a first electrode which covers only part of an upper surface of the multilayer structure; and a second electrode formed over the lower surface of the substrate. In the semiconductor light emitting device, the light generated from part of the active layer is extracted to the outside through a portion of the upper surface of the multilayer structure which is not covered with the first electrode.

    摘要: A surface electrode on a surface of a LED has a pad, and further, at least first-order branches linearly extending from the pad, second-order branches diverged and linearly extending from the first-order branches, and third-order branches diverged and linearly extending from the second-order branches. The pad out of the surface electrode is not in electrical contact with a underlying semiconductor layer, whereas the surface electrode and the semiconductor layer are in electrical contact with each other at ends of the highest-order branches. Also, the semiconductor layer is provided along a pattern of the surface electrode in a mesa shape. Thus, ineffective light emission underneath the surface electrode is relatively reduced so that external quantum efficiency can be improved, and moreover even shorter-wavelength light can be allowed to go out at high efficiency by omitting a current diffusion layer.

    摘要: A method for producing a semiconductor laser device includes the steps of: forming window layers on either one of a top surface of an internal structure or a reverse surface of a substrate and on light-emitting end facets of the internal structure; forming a reflection film on the light-emitting end facets; removing the window layer formed on either one of the top surface or the reverse surface by using an etchant which hardly etches the reflection film; and forming electrodes on the surface from which the window layer is removed by etching and on the other surface. Another method for producing a semiconductor laser device includes the steps of: forming window layers on light-emitting end facets of the bars; inserting the bars into an apparatus having openings for forming electrodes and a supporting portion for preventing a positional shift between the bars and the openings, and forming the electrodes on the top surfaces and the reverse surfaces of the bars; and cutting the bars into the chips.

    摘要: A semiconductor light-emitting element has a semiconductor laminate including an active layer emitting light of a prescribed emission wavelength and a step located at an in-depth position beyond the active layer. The element also has a substrate transparent to the emission wavelength, a first electrode provided on a surface of the semiconductor laminate, and a second electrode provided on the step. The substrate transparent to the emission wavelength improves the external emission efficiency. The locations of the first and second electrodes substantially prevent current to flow through a direct connection interface between the semiconductor laminate and the substrate. Thereby, the element exhibits satisfactory electrical characteristics even when an incomplete junction attributed to hillock or the like is generated in the direct connection interface.
