Description
最初に、本発明の実施形態の内容を列記して説明する。本発明の一実施形態に係る光半導体素子の製造方法は、第1導電型の第1クラッド層、活性層、及び第2導電型の第2クラッド層を含む半導体積層部を成長させる工程と、半導体積層部にエッチングを施すことにより、第1クラッド層、活性層、及び第2クラッド層を含むメサ構造を形成する工程と、第2導電型もしくは高抵抗の第1埋め込み層を、第1クラッド層及び活性層の各側面を少なくとも覆うようにメサ構造の両側に成長させる工程と、第1導電型の第2埋め込み層を第1埋め込み層上に成長させる工程と、第2導電型の第3クラッド層を第2埋め込み層上及びメサ構造上に成長させる工程と、を備える。第1埋め込み層の表面は、メサ構造の両側に形成されたメサ溝底面と同じ面方位を有し活性層よりも高い位置に形成された平坦な領域をメサ構造の両側に含む。そして、該面方位における第2埋め込み層を、他の面方位における第2埋め込み層よりも遅い成長条件で成長する。
本発明の実施形態に係る光半導体素子の製造方法および光半導体素子の具体例を、以下に図面を参照しつつ説明する。なお、本発明はこれらの例示に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。以下の説明では、図面の説明において同一の要素には同一の符号を付し、重複する説明を省略する。
図10は、上記実施形態の一変形例に係る光半導体素子1Bの構成を示す断面図である。この光半導体素子1Bでは、領域9cがメサ構造4よりも高い位置に形成されている。しかしながら、このような場合であっても領域9c上における第2埋め込み層11の成長レートを他の面方位における第2埋め込み層11の成長レートよりも遅くする(すなわち領域9c上の第2埋め込み層11を他の面上の第2埋め込み層11よりも薄くする)ことによって、上記実施形態と同様の効果を奏することができる。
