- Thickness of deposited SiN film 50nm
- Tungsten wire temperature 1650. C,
- Thickness of deposited SiN film 50nm
- the film composition in the case of the plasma CVD method was changed by changing the flow rate of silane to be supplied.
- the pressure in the chamber was 4.0 Pa regardless of which dielectric film was formed.
- the refractive indices of the protective film and the mixed crystal formation promoting film were measured, they were 2.02 and 1.94, respectively.
- composition of the SiN to be formed varies depending on the catalytic CVD apparatus or the film forming conditions (gas pressure during film formation, substrate temperature, tungsten wire temperature, etc.). Therefore, it is desirable to check the composition of SiN by measuring the refractive index for each catalytic CVD device and film forming conditions.
- the reason why the deposited film functions as a protective film or a mixed crystal formation promoting film is determined at a predetermined raw material gas flow rate determined by the film forming conditions.
- the spacing between skeletal atoms is considered to be wide. Therefore, when this is formed on a semiconductor crystal and subjected to heat treatment, it is group m from the semiconductor crystal to the dielectric film. Ga atoms are easily absorbed. That is, atomic vacancies are easily generated in the semiconductor crystal due to the removal of atoms.
- a dielectric film having a high density functions as a protective film against mixed crystal formation of a quantum well, and a film having a low density functions as a promoting film.
- the film Although it is generally difficult to measure the density of the film, it can be determined by measuring the refractive index.
- the refractive index is larger than a predetermined value determined depending on the film forming conditions, the film is used as a protective film.
- the refractive index is smaller than the predetermined value, mixed crystal is formed. It has been found that each of them can be distinguished as functioning as a promoting film.
- the film When the composition ratio of Si contained in the film is larger than the stoichiometric composition ratio of Si in the dielectric film, the film functions as a high-density protective film, and the composition ratio of Si is reduced. On the other hand, when the dielectric film is smaller than the stoichiometric composition ratio of Si, the dielectric film functions as a low-density mixed-crystallization promoting film.
- the heat treatment using the catalytic CVD method is performed at a reference value determined according to the film forming conditions, compared with the case where the film is formed using the plasma CVD method. It changes more steeply than before and after the energy shift. This is thought to be because dense films are easily formed by the catalytic CVD method, so that it is suitable for making a protective film and a mixed crystal formation promoting film by utilizing the difference in film density.
- the present invention can be applied to other film forming methods other than the catalytic CVD method if the film forming conditions for obtaining a dense film to some extent are surely used.
- the SiN protective film 10 was formed by catalytic CVD in a region where no window was formed. Therefore, the SiN protective film 10 is dense and has low stress, and it is possible to sufficiently prevent the desorption of atoms such as As of the surface force of the semiconductor during the heat treatment for crystallizing. Therefore, according to the present invention, the problem that the pits generated by the desorption of As cause the surface roughness of the contact layer 9 does not occur, and the contact with the upper electrode 21 is improved. Further, since pits do not become dislocation defects and do not propagate to the active layer during laser operation, a semiconductor laser having excellent long-term reliability can be obtained.
- SiN Since atoms diffused into the semiconductor layer and caused crystal defects to cause a decrease in long-term reliability, SiN does not contain oxygen at all, so there is little problem with oxygen.

- the case where the mixed crystal accelerating film covering the region is formed has been described.
- forming a low-density mixed crystal formation accelerating film on a high-density protective film means that the gas absorbed in the film at the time of forming the protective film will have a low density during the mixed crystal formation heat treatment. This is advantageous in that it is efficiently released to the outside through the mixed crystal accelerating film.
- the order of forming the dielectric films is not limited to the above order, and may be reversed. That is, the figure
- a mixed crystal accelerating film is first formed as shown in Fig. 9 and then covered from above and a protective film is formed so as to cover the region to be mixed, a mixed crystal with low density during heat treatment Impurities such as Ga existing in the atmosphere of the heat treatment furnace from the outside do not dissolve and diffuse into the chemical conversion film. Then, the variation in the amount of Ga absorbed by the mixed crystal accelerating film from the semiconductor layer during the heat treatment is suppressed, which is advantageous in that the function as the mixed crystal accelerating film is stabilized.

- the guided mode of the laser light emitted from the DCH structure is smaller than that of the SCH structure, the seepage of the light into the cladding layer, which is closer to Gaussian, is smaller, so that the laser has the same oscillation wavelength and emission angle.
- the overall thickness of the laser structure in the DCH structure (L2 in Fig. 10 (b)) can be made smaller than the overall thickness in the SCH structure (L1 in Fig. 10 (a)). .

For this reason, the mixed crystal heat treatment can be performed at a lower temperature, and damage to the laser crystallinity by the mixed crystal heat treatment can be minimized.
