    Abstract: A semiconductor heterojunction, guided-wave, electroabsorption modulator (10). The device (10) includes a rib waveguide (12) fabricated on a substrate (14). The waveguide (12) includes a relatively thin and off-center undoped electroabsorbing layer (42) within a light-guiding region (16). Electrodes (26, 28) configured for interconnection to an external voltage source produce an electric field within the waveguide (12). Heavily doped field confining layers (38, 40) on opposite sides of the electroabsorbing layer (42) confine the electric field within the electroabsorbing layer to cause the electroabsorption of radiation in accordance with the Franz-Keldysh effect.

    Abstract: A method for repeatably fabricating GaAs/ZnSe and other III-V/II-VI semiconductor interfaces with relatively low stacking fault densities in II-VI semiconductor devices such as laser diodes. The method includes providing a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system (50, 150) including at least a group III element source (68, 170), a group II element source (72, 92'), a group V element source (70, 172) and a group VI element source (74, 98'). A semiconductor substrate (12) having a III-V semiconductor surface on which the interface is to be fabricated is positioned within the MBE system (50, 150). The substrate (12) is then heated to a temperature suitable for III-V semiconductor growth, and a crystalline III-V semiconductor buffer layer (14) grown on the III-V surface of the substrate. The temperature of the semiconductor substrate is then adjusted to a temperature suitable for II-VI semiconductor growth, and a crystalline II-VI semiconductor buffer layer (16) grown on the III-V buffer layer by alternating beam epitaxy. The group II and group VI sources are operated to expose the III-V buffer layer to a group II element flux before exposing the III-V buffer layer to a group VI element flux.

    Abstract: A II-VI laser diode including a substrate, a device layer of p-type II-VI semiconductor, and electrode and an ohmic contact layer between the electrode and device layer. The ohmic contact layer comprises a graded composition semiconductor compound including ZnTe. The relative amount of ZnTe in the semiconductor compound increases with increasing distance of the ohmic contact layer from the device layer. In a first embodiment the ohmic contact layer comprises a graded composition semiconductor alloy including the semiconductor compound of the device layer and ZnTe. The amount of ZnTe in the alloy increases with increasing distance of the ohmic contact layer from the device layer in the first embodiment. In a second embodiment the ohmic contact layer includes layers of ZnTe spaced between layers of the semiconductor compound of the device layer. The thickness of the layers of ZnTe increases, or the thickness of the layers of the semiconductor compound of the device layer decreases, with increasing distance of the ohmic contact layer from the device layer in the second embodiment.

    Abstract: A single quantum well II-VI laser diode without semiconductor cladding layers includes a pn junction formed by overlaying light-guiding layers (14, 16) of p-type and n-type ZnSe on an n-type GaAs substrate. A CdSe/ZnSe short-period strained-layer superlattice single quantum well active layer (12) is positioned between the guiding layers. An Au electrode (24) overlays the p-type guiding layer opposite the single quantum well active layer. The guiding layers have thicknesses which enable the substrate and Au electrode to confine the light beam generated by the device within the active layer and the guiding layers.
