摘要:
A first resist layer (21) and a second resist layer (22) are formed on a base material (11) in the recited order, the first resist layer (21) being removable by etching and the second resist layer (22) being a photosensitive resist layer in which either exposed or unexposed regions become soluble in a developing solvent upon emission of light. Near-field light is then emitted to the second resist layer (22) by means (24) for emitting near-field light (27) according to a diffraction grating pattern upon reception of the light. Next, the diffraction grating pattern is formed in the second resist layer (22) by developing the second resist layer (22). The first resist layer (21) is etched with the pattern in the second resist layer (22) as an etching mask, and a diffraction grating pattern consisting of the first and second resist layers (21, 22) is formed. Finally, a diffraction grating is formed in the base material (11) by etching the base material (11) with the pattern in the first and second resist layers (21, 22) as an etching mask.

A light receiving device and an image pickup device in which a plurality of light receiving devices are arranged are provided. The light receiving device comprises a single semiconductor substrate and a light receiving device that has a first photoelectric conversion part and a second photoelectric conversion part. The single semiconductor substrate comprises regions of a first conductivity type and regions of a second conductivity type in an alternately multiply stacked manner. Depths of each of the junction surfaces between the regions of first conductivity type and second conductivity type are formed at depths such that light mainly in the blue or red wavelength regions can be photo-electrically converted. The respective detected wavelengths of the first photoelectric conversion part and second photoelectric conversion part are longer than the central wavelength of the blue wavelength region, and shorter than the central wavelength of the red wavelength region.

A semiconductor laser device having an active region including alternating layers of at least one quantum well layer and a plurality of barrier layers, where two of the plurality of barrier layers are the outermost layers of the alternating layers. Each of the at least one quantum well layer has a compressive strain, and each of the plurality of barrier layers has a tensile strain. In the active region, a strain buffer layer having an intermediate strain is formed between each quantum well layer and each of two barrier layers adjacent to the quantum well layer. Interfacial strain is thus reduced, improving high-output-power characteristics.

An n-GaAs buffer layer, an n-AlGaAs lower cladding layer, an n- or i-InGaP lower optical waveguide layer, an InGaAsP quantum cell active layer, a p- or i-InGaP upper optical waveguide layer, a p-AlGaAs first upper cladding layer, a p- or i-InGaP etch-stopping layer, a p-AlGaAs second upper cladding layer, and a p-GaAs contact layer, are grown upon an n-GaAs substrate. A photoresist is coated on the wafer, and two grooves are formed by etching. Then, the photoresist on the perimeter of the device is removed and the contact layer is selectively etched. Next, the photoresist is lifted off. A SiO2 film is formed on the entire surface. After a window is formed in a portion of the SiO2 film corresponding to a ridge portion, a p-electrode is formed on a region of the SiO2 film other than the device perimeter.

In a semiconductor laser device including having an index-guided structure and oscillating in a fundamental transverse mode, a lower cladding layer, a lower optical waveguide layer, a quantum well layer, an upper optical waveguide layer, and a current confinement structure are formed in this order. The thickness of the upper optical waveguide layer is smaller than the thickness of the lower optical waveguide layer. In addition, the sum of the thicknesses of the upper and lower optical waveguide layers may be 0.5 micrometers or greater. Further, the distance between the bottom of the current confinement structure and the upper surface of the quantum well layer may be smaller than 0.25 micrometers.
