This invention discloses a semiconductor laser capable of a high temperature and high output operation by forming a mesa stripe having an active layer in a reverse triangular mesa shape and forming thick semiconductor layers on both sides of the mesa stripe in such a manner that the resulting p-n junctions have a current blocking function. The invention discloses also a semiconductor laser wherein the formation of the p-n junctions described above is made before the formation of the reverse mesa stripe, and ion implantation is introduced in order to form the p-n junctions. Furthermore, the invention relates to transistors and semiconductor lasers using InGaAsP type quaternary compounds as the semiconductor. The quaternary compounds having a composition in which an energy band gap is from 1.2 to 1.4 eV are formed in a thickness of up to 1 .mu.m, and there can be thus obtained semiconductor devices having a small leakage current and being stable with time.

A buried-heterostructure semiconductor laser including a mesa-shaped optical confinement region having an active layer and a clad layer and disposed on a semiconductor substrate; a burying layer burying both side surfaces of the region; and at least one p-n junction so formed inside the burying layer in parallel to the active layer as to be brought under the reversely biased state during the operation of the laser; wherein surface protection semiconductor layers are formed on the mesa-shaped optical confinement region and on the burying layer, respectively, for protecting the semiconductor assembly in the arrangement such that these surface protection semiconductor layers do not come into direct contact with each other. Even if the forbidden band gas of these surface protection semiconductor layers are relatively small, it is possible to realize a semiconductor laser having an extremely small leakage current and reduced variance of threshold current values, while protecting the surface of the multi-layer semiconductor layers.
