Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor optical device and a method for manufacturing the same.
- a buried structure using a semiconductor crystal as a current block burying layer is used for a semiconductor optical device such as a semiconductor laser.
- This structure reduces the oscillation threshold of the semiconductor laser by the current blocking function, stabilizes the optical output beam by controlling the transverse mode, improves the diffusion of heat from the active layer by embedding the semiconductor, and improves long-term reliability. This is very important for practical use of the device.
- Direct modulation lasers which are one of the components required for large-capacity optical transmission systems, are important components as signal light sources for medium-to-short-distance high-speed optical transmission systems. I have. Specifically, in order to reduce the cost, it is necessary to operate the laser element in an uncooled state without using a cooling mechanism such as a Peltier element in mounting the laser element, and to improve the manufacturing yield. Has become. Therefore, it is desired that the characteristics of the direct modulation laser operate at a higher temperature and at a higher speed!
- the semiconductor embedded structure is roughly classified into a high mesa embedded structure and a low mesa embedded structure.
- a lower clad, an active layer, an upper clad, and a contact layer are formed on a substrate, and a relatively mesa width of about 2 m and a mesa height of about 3 m before and after using an insulating mask.
- a mesa stripe is formed, and both sides of the mesa are formed by burying and growing a current block layer.
- a lower clad, an active layer, and a part of the upper clad are formed on a substrate.
- a mesa stripe is formed. Then, the mesa is buried on both sides with a current blocking layer, the insulating mask is removed, and then the upper overcladding layer and the contact layer are grown to complete the low mesa buried structure.
- a low-mesa buried structure is more suitable than a high-mesa buried structure in order to improve light output efficiency at high temperatures. The reason is that the area of the upper electrode can be larger in the low-mesa buried structure than in the high-mesa buried structure, so that the element resistance can be reduced.
- the low mesa buried structure has a low mesa height
- the buried layer can be formed more easily than the high mesa buried structure, and a buried layer having good crystallinity which is less likely to cause abnormal growth can be formed.
- the height of the buried layer surface is higher than the height of the mesa in order to make the buried layer thickness necessary for the current blocking function to work sufficiently. Therefore, the surface after embedding the mesa has an uneven shape. If an overcladding layer and a contact layer are further grown on this uneven shape, the uneven shape remains up to the contact layer.
- the overcladding layer is usually a binary film.
- the contact layer is usually a multi-layer film with a ternary or higher mixed crystal, the composition of the contact layer is modulated. As a result, there is a problem that lattice mismatch occurs between the overclad layer and the contact layer, thereby deteriorating crystallinity due to strain.
- the conductivity type of a substrate used for manufacturing a semiconductor optical device has a large effect on device characteristics.
- a p-type semiconductor having a higher contact resistance than an n-type semiconductor as a lower substrate electrode having a large contact area, the device resistance can be reduced and the device characteristics can be improved.
- an npn-type transistor circuit that is excellent in high-speed operation as a driver for laser driving There is an advantage that consistency can be obtained.
- a low-mesa embedded device structure on a P-type head plate is effective, and it has high device characteristics, high manufacturing yield and run-to-run reproducibility.
- the element structure and the manufacturing method to be improved are indispensable for reducing the cost of the element.

- a complicated multilayer buried structure causes deterioration of device characteristics due to an increase in leak current, a decrease in yield in a substrate surface, and a decrease in run-to-run reproducibility.
