The x1 is mainly used for adjusting the forbidden bandwidth of the first diffusion cutoff layer, so that the forbidden bandwidth of the first diffusion cutoff layer is between the undoped GaInP active layer 5 and the P-type GaAlInP semiconductor layer to achieve the effect of balancing energy bands, and the x1 which is too large and too small cannot achieve the effect of balancing energy bands; the size of y1 is primarily used to adjust the lattice constant to ensure that the first diffusion stop layer does not introduce lattice defects due to too much attraction.
The thickness of the first diffusion cutoff layer 6 is 0.5nm to 100nm, preferably 5nm to 25nm, and may be, for example, 0.5nm, 5nm, 20nm, 25nm, 50nm, 80nm, 100nm, or the like. If the thickness of the first diffusion cutoff layer 6 is too small, the barrier effect against Zn diffusion decreases, and if the thickness of the first diffusion cutoff layer 6 is too large, the resistance of the semiconductor device increases.
The P-type GaAlInP semiconductor layer in this embodiment further includes a P-type GaAlInP waveguide layer 7, a second diffusion cutoff layer 8, and a P-type GaAlInP confinement layer 9 provided from the first diffusion cutoff layer 6 from bottom to top.
