摘要:
A nitride semiconductor laser comprises a conductive support base having a primary surface of gallium nitride based semiconductor, an active layer on the primary surface, and a p-type cladding region on the primary surface. The primary surface is tilted to a reference plane perpendicular to a reference axis extending in the c-axis direction of the gallium nitride based semiconductor. The p-type cladding region comprises a first p-type group III nitride semiconductor layer of an AlGaN layer anisotropically-strained, and a second p-type group III nitride semiconductor layer of material different from the AlGaN layer. The first p-type group III nitride semiconductor layer is provided between the second p-type group III nitride semiconductor layer and the active layer. The AlGaN layer has the largest bandgap in the p-type cladding region. The second p-type group III nitride semiconductor layer has a resistivity lower than the first p-type group III nitride semiconductor layer.
