A method of producing a semiconductor optical device includes a first step of growing a stacked semiconductor layer including a first III-V group compound semiconductor layer for an active layer on a substrate; a second step of forming a silicon oxide film on the stacked semiconductor layer, the silicon oxide film having a predetermined film stress and a predetermined thickness; a third step of forming a strip-shaped groove in the silicon oxide film by etching the silicon oxide film, using a resist pattern formed on the silicon oxide film, until a surface of the stacked semiconductor layer is exposed; and a fourth step of growing a second III-V group compound semiconductor layer in the groove using the silicon oxide film as a selective mask.

In the method of making a semiconductor laser, a semiconductor region is grown on an active layer, and a part of the semiconductor region is etched to form a ridge structure. An insulating film is formed over the ridge structure, and a resin layer of photosensitive material is formed to bury the ridge structure. A cured resin portion and an uncured resin portion are formed in the resin layer by performing lithographic exposure of the resin layer, and the uncured resin portion is on the top of the ridge structure. The uncured resin portion is removed to form a dent which is provided on the top of the ridge structure. An overall surface of the cured resin portion and dent is etched to form an etched resin layer. An opening is formed in the etched resin layer by thinning the cured resin portion, and a part of the insulating film is exposed in the opening of the etched resin layer. The part of the insulating film is etched using the etched resin layer as a mask to form an opening in the insulating film. An electrode is formed over the ridge structure and the etched resin layer.

This invention provides a semiconductor laser that enables to oscillate at a wavelength defined by a Bragg grating formed therein in a wide temperature range without any temperature-controlling. The semiconductor laser comprises an active region and the Bragg grating formed with the active region. A light-emitting surface and a light-reflecting surface are formed so as to sandwiches the active region. The light-emitting surface has an anti-reflective coating, the reflectivity of which is so adjusted that the minimum thereof is at the wavelength where the gain attributed to the FP modes is the maximum and is smaller than 0.3%.

In a method of fabricating a semiconductor optical device, insulating structures for an alignment mark for use in electron beam exposure are formed on a primary surface of a first group III-V semiconductor region. After forming the insulating structures, a second group III-V semiconductor region is grown on the first group III-V semiconductor region to form an epitaxial wafer. The height of the insulating structures is larger than thickness of the second group III-V semiconductor region. After forming the second group III-V semiconductor region, alignment for the electron beam exposure is performed. After the alignment, a resist is exposed to an electron beam to form a resist mask. The resist mask has a pattern for a diffraction grating, and the resist is on the epitaxial wafer.

This invention provides a semiconductor laser that enables to oscillate at a wavelength defined by a Gragg grating formed therein in a wide temperature range without any temperature-controlling. The semiconductor laser comprises an active region and the Bragg grating formed with the active region. A light-emitting surface and a light-reflecting surface are formed so as to sandwiches the active region.

摘要:
An optical module is described, where the optical module installs an optical device whose identification mark is able to be distinguished even after the optical device is installed in the optical module. The identifying mark of the optical device is formed in a position able to be inspected from the direction of the normal line of the light-emitting facet of the optical device. Accordingly, the identifying mark becomes able to be identified through the lens after the optical device is installed in the package of the optical module.
摘要:
To grasp a removable particle contamination and appropriately removing a particle contamination exposing from a surface of a semiconductor layer, this production method of the semiconductor optical device includes a surface treatment step in which particle contaminations removed from a surface of a cap layer 5 by etching are limited to particle contaminations A1, C2 higher than the thickness of a resist layer 22 formed on the surface of the cap layer 5. Therefore, the heights of removable particle contaminations can be preliminarily grasped based on the thickness of the resist layer 22 formed, whereby the particle contaminations exposing from the surface of the cap layer 5 can be appropriately removed by etching just enough. By repeating steps S11-S17 while changing the thickness of the resist layer 22, it is feasible to prevent unnecessary etching of a wafer and to remove the particle contaminations more completely.
