摘要:
An AlGaAs-based semiconductor laser 29 is formed on an n-type GaAs substrate 21, and thereafter, a non-doped GaAs protective layer 30 is formed. When the n-type substrate 21 is exposed by removing by etching a partial region of the AlGaAs-based semiconductor laser 29, an impurity Zn is prevented from evaporating from a p-type GaAs contact layer 28. The deterioration of the characteristic of contact with a p-type electrode as a consequence of a reduction in the carrier density of the p-type contact layer 28 can be prevented. Furthermore, the impurity evaporated from the p-type contact layer 28 can be prevented from readhering onto the exposed n-type substrate 21. A layer where the n-type GaAs substrate 21 and the readhering impurity are mixed with each other is not formed when an AlGaInP-based semiconductor laser 38 is succeedingly formed, and the reliability in long-term operation can be improved.
摘要:
A light confinement layer constructed of a semiconductor that has a refractive index different from that of p-type second cladding layers is formed to a small film thickness of not greater than 2 μm (about 0.5 μm) on the whole surface of ridge portions of two semiconductor lasers. Thus, the light confinement layer on the ridge portions is made roughly flat so as to be easily removable by etching. As a result, the exposure of p-type second cladding layers of the ridge portions due to deep etching is prevented to allow the confinement of light into the p-type cladding layers to be stably effected. A dielectric film is formed on the light confinement layer and reinforces the current constriction function lost by the reduction in the thickness of the light confinement layer.
摘要:
An AlGaAs-based semiconductor laser 29 is formed on an n-type GaAs substrate 21 and thereafter etching is carried out until reaching an n-type AlGaAs clad layer 23 from the surface. Next, the n-type AlGaAs clad layer 23 is removed by etching with an etchant having selectivity to GaAs. Subsequently, the surface of an n-type GaAs buffer layer 22 is lightly etched. Thus, the n-type GaAs buffer layer 22 of the AlGaAs-based semiconductor laser 29 is left in a slightly abraded state on the n-type GaAs substrate 21, maintaining the flatness of the groundwork layer during growing an AlGaInP-based semiconductor laser 38 at the second time. Therefore, the flatness of the crystals of, in particular, an active layer grown at the second time can be improved, and the poor characteristics of the AlGaInP-based semiconductor laser 38 attributed to the poor flatness of the groundwork can be improved.
摘要:
An n-type AlGaAs cladding layer of a first semiconductor laser 39 to be first formed on an n-type GaAs buffer layer 22 is constructed of a two-layer structure of a second n-type AlxGa1-xAs (x=0.500) cladding layer 23 and a first n-type AlxGa1-xAs (x=0.425) cladding layer 24. With this arrangement, in removing by etching the second n-type cladding layer 23 located on the n-type GaAs buffer layer 22 side with HF, no cloudiness occurs since the Al crystal mixture ratio x of the second n-type cladding layer 23 is 0.500, allowing mirror surface etching to be achieved. Moreover, by virtue of selectivity to GaAs, the etching automatically stops in the n-type GaAs buffer layer 22. Even in the above case, ellipticity can be improved by matching the vertical radiation angle θ⊥ to 36 degrees since the Al crystal mixture ratio x of the first n-type cladding layer 24 located on the AlGaAs multi-quantum well active layer 25 side is 0.425.
