摘要:
A VCSEG-DFB laser, fully compatible with MGVI design and manufacturing methodologies, for single growth monolithic integration in multi-functional PICs is presented. It comprises a laser PIN structure, in mesa form, etched from upper emitter layer top surface through the active, presumably MQW, gain region, down to the top surface of the lower emitter. Lower electrical contacts sit adjacent the mesa disposed on the lower emitter layer with upper strip contacts disposed atop the upper emitter layer on the mesa top. An SEG is defined/etched from mesa top surface, between the upper strip contacts, through upper emitter layer down to or into the SCH layers. Vertical confinement is provided by the SCH structure and the lateral profile in the bottom portion of the mesa provides lateral confinement. The guided mode interacts with the SEG by the vertical tail penetrating the SEG and evanescent field coupling to the SEG.

A method for patterning a sequence of layers and a semiconductor laser device are disclosed. In an embodiment the method creates at least one trench in the sequence of layers by two plasma etching methods. The semiconductor laser device comprises a sequence of layers including a semiconductor material and two trenches in the sequence of layers. The trenches laterally delimit a ridge waveguide. Each of the trenches is delimited on the side facing away from the ridge waveguide by a region of the sequence of layers.

With a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, a semiconductor layer having a protrusion on a main face is formed. The protrusion includes an upper face and side faces. A conductive layer on a region that includes at least the upper face and the side faces of the protrusion is formed. A first mask that partially covers a surface of the conductive layer is formed. A part of the conductive layer is etched by using the first mask in a first etching process. A second mask that at least partially covers the surface of the conductive layer that has undergone the first etching process is formed. A part of the conductive layer is etched by using the second mask to expose a part of the semiconductor layer and to form the conductive layer into an electrode in a second etching process.
