    摘要: A semiconductor laser device includes a substrate having one of p- and n-conductivity types, and a current constrictive layer formed on a surface of the substrate and having the other type of conductivity. The current constrictive layer has a through-channel extending to the surface of the substrate for defining a current path in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The through-channel is of a belt-like pattern extending in a direction perpendicular to end surfaces of the substrate. A third cladding layer having the one type of conductivity is filled in the through-channel, a surface of the third cladding layer being flush with a surface of a current constrictive layer. A first cladding layer, an active layer, and a second cladding layer which constitute a double heterostructure are formed over the third cladding layer and current constrictive layer.

    摘要: A method for producing a semiconductor laser device includes the steps of: forming window layers on either one of a top surface of an internal structure or a reverse surface of a substrate and on light-emitting end facets of the internal structure; forming a reflection film on the light-emitting end facets; removing the window layer formed on either one of the top surface or the reverse surface by using an etchant which hardly etches the reflection film; and forming electrodes on the surface from which the window layer is removed by etching and on the other surface.

    摘要: A surface electrode on a surface of a LED has a pad, and further, at least first-order branches linearly extending from the pad, second-order branches diverged and linearly extending from the first-order branches, and third-order branches diverged and linearly extending from the second-order branches. The pad out of the surface electrode is not in electrical contact with a underlying semiconductor layer, whereas the surface electrode and the semiconductor layer are in electrical contact with each other at ends of the highest-order branches. Also, the semiconductor layer is provided along a pattern of the surface electrode in a mesa shape. Thus, ineffective light emission underneath the surface electrode is relatively reduced so that external quantum efficiency can be improved, and moreover even shorter-wavelength light can be allowed to go out at high efficiency by omitting a current diffusion layer.

    摘要: In a semiconductor light-emitting device, on an n-GaAs substrate are stacked an n-GaAs buffer layer, an n-cladding layer, an undoped active layer, a p-cladding layer, a p-intermediate band gap layer and a p-current diffusion layer. Further, a first electrode is formed under the n-GaAs substrate, and a second electrode is formed on the grown-layer side. In this process, a region of the p-intermediate band gap layer just under the second electrode is removed, the p-current diffusion layer is stacked in the removal region on the p-cladding layer, and a junction plane of the p-current diffusion layer and the p-cladding layer becomes high in resistance due to an energy band structure of type II. This semiconductor light-emitting device is capable of reducing ineffective currents with a simple construction and taking out light effectively to outside, thus enhancing the emission intensity.

    摘要: There is provided a semiconductor light emitting device having improved adhesion of an electrode by reducing defects in a crystal surface. An n-type AlGaInP lower clad layer 12, an AlGaInP active layer 13, a p-type AlGaInP upper clad layer 14, a p-type AlGaInP intermediate layer 15 whose lattice matching rate &Dgr;a/a with GaAs is −3.3%, a p-type AlGaInP current diffusion layer 16 and a p-type electrode 17 are laminated on an n-type GaAs substrate 11 and an n-type electrode 18 is provided on the n-type GaAs substrate 11. Thus, the number of crystal defects in the crystal surface can be reduced to 20 or less per one LED by setting the value of the lattice matching rate &Dgr;a/a of the intermediate layer 15 to be −3.3%, which is lower than −2.5%. As a result, adhesion of the p-type electrode 17 formed on the current diffusion layer 16 is improved and thereby the yield of LED can be enhanced.
