    摘要: An avalanche photo diode provided with a guard ring around a photo detecting region having a pn junction, in which semiconductor layers of the photo detecting region having a pn junction, different in conductivity type from a semiconductor of the guard ring, are composed of a second semiconductor layer formed in contact with a first semiconductor layer forming the pn junction of the photo detecting region and of the same conductivity type as the semiconductor of the guard ring, and a third semiconductor layer formed in contact with the second semiconductor layer and having a larger band gap than the second semiconductor layer, and in which the tip end of the guard ring is formed to extend down into the third semiconductor layer. An avalanche photo diode can be formed to be provided with a uniformly thick, first semiconductor layer forming a photo detecting region and a second semiconductor layer forming a first pn junction between it and the first semiconductor layer, in which third and fourth semiconductor layers of the same composition as each other, respectively having larger band gaps than those of the first and second semiconductor layers, are provided to form therebetween a second pn junction which extends from the first pn junction to surround the peripheral portion of the first semiconductor layer.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing diffraction grating, in which after forming, on a substrate, one of a negative type photoresist film (an N film) and a positive type photoresist film (a P film) to cover a first region A and the other of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film, or the latter film on the former one to cover a second region B, the first region and the second region are subjected to two-beam interference exposure, thereby forming a diffraction grating in which corrugations in the first region and the second region are reverse in phase to each other, through utilization of characteristics of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film. Another feature of the present invention resides in that after forming, on a substrate, a structure in which a negative type photoresist film (an N film) is formed to cover only a first region A and the negative type photoresist film is formed on a positive type photoresist film (a P film) to cover a second region B, the first region and the second region of the substrate are subjected to two-beam interference exposure, thereby forming a diffraction grating in which corrugations in the first region and the second region are reverse in phase to each other, through utilization of characteristics of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film.

    摘要: An optical logic element is disclosed which performs an XOR operation through utilization of the high-speed property of light. On each branched waveguide of a Mach-Zehnder interference type optical waveguide there is provided a phase modulating element whose refractive index undergoes a change when it is irradiated by light. The interference type optical waveguide is adapted to provide different optical output levels when the refractive index changes of the phase modulating elements are both zero or a predetermined value and when they differ from each other. Thus, the optical logic element is capable of performing the XOR or XNOR operation at an ultrahigh speed.
