Abstract:
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.

An LD with an improved heat dissipating function in the edge regions is disclosed. The LD provides the core region including the active layer and extending whole of the substrate, and the ridge waveguide structure on the core region that extends in a direction along which the light generated in the active layer is guided. The ridge waveguide structure is buried by a thick resin layer in both sides thereof, but the resin layer is removed in the edge regions close to respective facets of the LD.
