摘要:
An integrated phase-locked semiconductor laser wherein a plurality of waveguide paths extend in parallel to each other. A current blocking layer is formed on one of opposite major surfaces of a semiconductor substrate and is divided into a plurality of regions by a plurality of stripe-like channels. Each of the channels has a depth which reaches at least the above-mentioned major surface of the substrate. A first cladding layer covers the surface of the current blocking layer and those regions of the substrate which are exposed to the channels. A waveguide layer is deposited on the first cladding layer and has a surface opposite to the first cladding layer which is substantially flat. An active layer, a reflecting layer, a second cladding layer and a cap layer are deposited one upon another on the waveguide layer layer. The waveguide layer has an effective refractive index which sequentially decreases in the order of first regions individually associated with the plurality of channels, second regions individually associated with interchannel regions each intervening between nearby channels, and third regions located at opposite sides of the plurality of channels relatively to each other.

Light on the longer wavelength side can be photoelectrically converted and output reliably, whilst improving the structural and operational reliability of a photodetector, by means of a simple manufacturing process and inexpensive manufacturing costs. A first light-absorbing layer, a buffer layer of a second conductivity type, a second light-absorbing layer of a second conductivity type and a window layer of a second conductivity type are laminated in this order onto the first principal surface of a substrate of a first conductivity type. The first light-absorbing layer contains a region of the first conductivity type and a region of the second conductivity type, and a diffused region of the first conductivity type having a depth extending from the upper face of the window layer to the interface between the window layer and the second light-absorbing layer is provided in a portion of the window layer. A main electrode of a first conductivity type is provided on the diffused region, whilst a main electrode of a second conductivity type is provided on the window layer in the vicinity of the diffused region. The energy gap wavelength of the second light-absorbing layer is longer than the energy gap wavelength of the first light-absorbing layer, whilst the energy gap wavelength of the first light-absorbing layer is longer than the respective energy gap wavelengths of the substrate, buffer layer and window layer.

A semiconductor light-receiving device includes a light-receiving section that receives an input light. The light-receiving section includes a light-receiving surface to which the input light is directed, a groove extending vertically into the light-receiving surface, and a thin film coated on the inside wall of the groove.

In a semiconductor photodetector device having a slanting surface, an insulating film is formed over the slating surface as a reflective film under the condition that light is all reflected. Thus, a semiconductor device can be implemented which is high in sensibility and excellent in adhesion.

The present invention provides a photoreceiving device that is inexpensive and has good properties as a photoreceiving device for selectively receiving long wavelength light. This is a semiconductor photoreceiving device 10 for selectively receiving long wavelength light from multiplexed light including long wavelength light A and short wavelength light B. This photoreceiving device comprises a multilayered film 22 comprising alternately stacked layers of materials having mutually different indexes of refraction and the thicknesses and number of which are designed so as to transmit said long wavelength light and reflect said short wavelength light; and a first light-absorbing layer 14 composed of a material having a band gap wavelength longer than the wavelength of said long wavelength light.
摘要:
At a semiconductor photodetector 100, a photodetection portion 120 is formed on a first substrate surface 110a of a substrate 110. In addition, a recess 110d is formed at a second substrate surface 110b of the substrate 110 which faces opposite the first substrate surface 110a. This recessed portion 110d is formed as a wedge-type V-shaped groove with a forward mesa surface formed at a front surface thereof, and is formed approximately parallel to a side photodetection surface 110c of the substrate 110 which is approximately perpendicular to the second substrate surface 110b. A total reflection film is coated on the front surface of the recess 110d. In the semiconductor photodetector 100 structured as described above, an incoming light P1 entering through the side photodetection surface 110c is reflected at the recess 110d to enter the photodetection portion 120 from the side where the substrate 110 is provided. As a result, the incoming light P1 is sensed at the photodetection portion 120.
