A surface emitting semiconductor laser which can perform laser oscillation in a single peak beam like that in a single lateral mode and a manufacturing method which can easily manufacture such a laser at a high yield are provided. When a surface emitting semiconductor laser having a post type mesa structure is formed on an n-type semiconductor substrate, a mesa portion is formed and up to a p-side electrode and an n-side electrode are formed. Thereafter, a voltage is applied across the p-side and n-side electrodes and the laser is subjected to a steam atmosphere while extracting output light, thereby forming an Al oxide layer onto a p-type AlwGa1-wAs layer as a top layer of a p-type DBR layer and forming refractive index distribution like that of a concave lens.

A plane emission type semiconductor laser device includes, on an n-type GaAs stepped substrate, a laminate structure of a lower reflector, a lower clad layer, an active layer, an upper clad layer, an upper reflector, and a p-type contact layer. The stepped substrate includes a circular (100) plane upper level portion, a step portion, and an annular (100) plane lower level portion surrounding the upper level portion with the step portion therebetween. When an AlAs layer is grown as a current confinement layer on the stepped substrate while implanting Si as an n-type impurity into the AlAs layer being grown, the impurity concentration in the AlAs layer on the upper side of the upper level portion is higher than that on the upper side of the step portion, and the oxidation rate of the AlAs layer on the upper side of the upper level portion is lower than that on the upper side of the step portion, so that the progress of oxidation of the AlAs layer on the upper side of the upper level portion is autonomously restrained. By time control of the oxidation reaction of the AlAs layer, it is possible to maintain the circular AlAs layer on the upper side of the upper level portion in an unoxidized state with an accurate shape and an accurate area.
