Laser diodes containing aluminum at high concentration in an active layer have been usually suffered from remarkable facet deterioration along with laser driving operation and it has been difficult for the laser diodes to attain high reliability. An aluminum oxide film lacking in oxygen is formed adjacent to the semiconductor on an optical resonator facet, by which facet deterioration can be minimized and, accordingly, the laser diode can be operated with no facet deterioration at high temperature for long time and a laser diode of high reliability can be manufactured at a reduced cost.
摘要:
A compound semiconductor is etched by a step of substituting a composite element of a compound semiconductor with other element, thereby forming a compound layer on the surface of the compound semiconductor and a step of removing the compound layer from the surface. Etching depth is controlled not by etching time, but by the number of runs (repetitions) of the etching step, and thus can be precisely controlled.
