Description
最初に本願発明の実施形態の内容を列記して説明する。
(2)前記開口部から前記半導体層が露出し、前記金属層は前記露出する前記半導体層に設けられ、前記金属層の厚さは前記第1絶縁膜の厚さ以下でもよい。金属層が第1絶縁膜よりも上に突出せず、段差を形成しにくい。これにより、外観検査において識別符号が認識されにくくなるため、外観検査の精度が向上する。
(3)前記金属層の厚さは200nm以下であり、前記第2絶縁膜の厚さは200nm以上でもよい。金属層が第1絶縁膜よりも上に突出せず、段差を形成しにくい。これにより、外観検査において識別符号が認識されにくくなるため、外観検査の精度が向上する。
(4)前記金属層から前記開口部の内壁までの距離は1μm以上、10μm以下でもよい。第2絶縁膜が平坦に近くなり、段差を形成しにくい。これにより、外観検査において識別符号が認識されにくくなるため、外観検査の精度が向上する。
(5)前記第2絶縁膜は窒化シリコン膜を含んでもよい。光が第2絶縁膜で反射され、金属層に到達しにくくなる。これにより、外観検査において識別符号が認識されにくくなるため、外観検査の精度が向上する。
(6)半導体層の上に第1絶縁膜を設ける工程と、前記第1絶縁膜に開口部を設ける工程と、前記開口部に金属層を設ける工程と、前記第1絶縁膜および前記金属層を覆う第2絶縁膜を設ける工程と、を有し、前記金属層は前記半導体層の表面上で識別符号を形成し、前記金属層の上面は前記第1絶縁膜の上面以下の高さに位置する面発光レーザの製造方法である。外観検査において識別符号が認識されにくくなるため、外観検査の精度が向上する。
(7)撮像部と上記の面発光レーザとの並ぶ方向から傾斜した方向から前記面発光レーザに光を照射する工程と、前記撮像部により前記面発光レーザの画像を取得する工程と、前記画像を基準となる画像と照合することで、前記面発光レーザが良品であるか否かを判定する工程と、を有する面発光レーザの検査方法である。光は反射され、金属層に到達しにくい。また、金属層は段差を形成しにくい。外観検査において識別符号が認識されにくくなるため、外観検査の精度が向上する。
