摘要:
In an optical semiconductor device that emits or receives light substantially perpendicularly to or in parallel to an active surface formed on a semiconductor substrate, the optical semiconductor device, an electrode that is formed on the active surface side and connected to the active surface is stepped or tapered at an end of the electrode. The electrode of the optical semiconductor device is formed of three layers including an adhesive layer, a diffusion prevention layer, and an Au layer, and the stepped configuration or the taped configuration is formed by a difference of the thickness of the Au layer or the thickness of the adhesive layer/diffusion prevention layer/Au layer.

In a mesa type PIN-PD formed using a heavily doped semiconductor material, a high frequency response is degraded as slow carriers occur in a heavily doped layer when light incident into a light receiving section transmits through an absorbing layer and reaches the heavily doped layer on a side near the substrate. In a p-i-n multilayer structure, a portion corresponding to a light receiving section of a heavily doped layer on a side near a substrate is previously made thinner than the periphery of the light receiving section by an etching or selective growth technique, over which an absorbing layer and another heavily doped layer are grown to form the light receiving section of mesa structure. This makes it possible to form a good ohmic contact and to realize a PIN-PD with excellent high frequency response characteristics.

A method of manufacturing semiconductor laser device capable of reducing κL, with manufacturing restrictions satisfied, is provided. In a distributed-feedback or distributed-reflective semiconductor laser device, immediately before burying regrowth of a diffraction grating, halogen-based gas is introduced to a reactor, and etching is performed on the diffraction grating so that each side wall has at least two or more crystal faces and a ratio of length of an upper side in a waveguide direction to a bottom side parallel to a (100) surface is 0 to 0.3. And, a reactive product formed on side surfaces of the diffraction grating and in trench portions between stripes of the diffraction grating at an increase of temperature for regrowth is removed. Therefore, the diffraction grating with reduced height and a sine wave shape is obtained, thereby κL of the device is reduced. Thus, an oscillation threshold and optical output efficiency can be improved.

An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor production technology capable of preventing the peeling of the electrode which occurs in die bonding or wire bonding. There is provided a semiconductor element having an electrode in a surface or in a rear face of a semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor element having a structure in which an amorphous silicon layer 106 is inserted in between an electrode 107 and a semiconductor substrate 101, wherein hydrogen is not added to the amorphous silicon layer 106. Furthermore, an amorphous silicon layer 104 is inserted also in the interface between an electrode 105 and an insulating layer 103, and in the interface between the insulating layer and the semiconductor substrate. Moreover, the present invention is equally applicable to a semiconductor laser having an insulating layer, which serves as a reflective layer, in an oscillating surface side of light, and insulating layers, which serve as a multilayer reflective layer, in a non-oscillating surface side.

An InGaAsP thin film layer having the same index of refraction as a diffraction grating is inserted between a p-type InP clad layer and the diffraction grating composed of an InGaAsP layer. In this structure, the InGaAsP layer is present over an active layer, and the amount of thermal diffusion of dopant to the vicinity of the active layer does not depend on an aperture width or the presence or absence of the diffraction grating when the p-type InP clad layer is grown, thereby obtaining a stable optical output, a threshold current, and slope efficiency.

In a dry etching step for an organic material film, a fluorine-containing member is disposed to the periphery of a semiconductor substrate disposed on a lower electrode or a tray for wafer transportation to form fluorine (fluoro-radicals) from the member per se in addition to the fluoric gas added to the etching gas, with a purpose of removing reaction products, thereby removing reaction products deposited on the semiconductor substrate efficiently and stably.
摘要:
During the polishing of a semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor wafer that has been reduced in thickness, and hence in strength, by polishing, suffers outer-surface damage (or cracking) due to the initial damage caused by the use of polishing quartz. In order to solve these problems, the present invention applies a semiconductor substrate fixing jig formed with, on the face for fixing the semiconductor substrate, a groove(s) of almost the same diameter as that of the semiconductor substrate. Semiconductor substrate damage and cracking can be suppressed by applying this jig.
