摘要:
A semiconductor laser device includes a semiconductor substrate, a first cladding region on one side of the semiconductor substrate, an active layer region, and a second cladding region disposed on an opposite side of the semiconductor substrate. The active layer region is disposed between the semiconductor substrate and the second cladding region. A first semiconductor region is provided on either side of the active layer region in parallel with a traveling direction of light in the active layer region and has an electric resistance higher than that of the active layer region and a refractive index higher than that of the semiconductor substrate. An insulative or semi-insulative second semiconductor region is formed between the first semiconductor region and part of the second cladding region. A first electrode and a second electrode are provided for injecting a current into the active layer region.

An optical transmission apparatus, where the variation of optical wavelength due to temperature change is slight, and at the same time, the stray capacitance of an external modulator is reduced, and an optical integrated structure having a light source and the external modulator is mounted in a mechanically stable manner. The external modulator modulates output light from a semiconductor laser. The semiconductor laser is a front-end emission semiconductor laser that emits unmodulated light. The semiconductor laser and the modulator are monolithically integrated as an integrated structure. Control electrodes of the semiconductor laser and the modulator formed on a waveguide of the integrated structure are junction-down mounted via solder material to a laser-driving electrode and optical-modulator driving electrode separately formed on an optical mounting substrate.
摘要:
The semiconductor device has a semiconductor structure directly bonded onto another semiconductor structure of a different kind from the former. These two semiconductor structures are arranged in such a way that their crystal structures in a cross section perpendicular to the bonded interface of the two semiconductor structures are different from each other or that their lattice orders are not equivalent. This can be applied to direct bonding of any combination of semiconductor structures in any crystallographic orientation relation. This also allows bonding of three or more kinds of semiconductor structures.

Disclosed is a semiconductor optical integrated device and method of fabricating the device, the device having a plurality of quantum well structures, formed on a single substrate, acting as optical waveguides, the plurality of quantum well structures respectively having different lattice mismatches with the substrate and/or different strains (e.g., respectively compressive strain and tensile strain). The method includes selectively depositing the quantum well structures by, e.g., organometallic vapor phase epitaxy on growth regions of the substrate, the growth regions being defined by insulating layer patterning masks, with a width of the growth regions and/or a width of the patterning mask being different for the different quantum well structures. Each quantum well structure includes quantum well layers of III-V or II-VI compound semiconductor material, the Group III or Group II elements each including at least two elements, one having a relatively large atomic diameter and another having a relatively small atomic diameter. Also disclosed is a light receiver that can independently absorb TE-mode and TM-mode light in series, which can be used in a polarized-wave diversity receiver for coherent optical communication.
