Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the structure of the conventional laser device described above, a current is effectively injected into a part of the InGaAsP active layer 8 after being processed into a mesa shape, and then embedded with an insulating polyimide resin to form a surface. Since it is flattened, it is difficult to increase the yield of the device by requiring a complicated process in manufacturing. Further, since the InGaAsP active layer 8 is exposed to the outside by etching, there is a problem that non-radiative recombination centers are formed on the surface. Further, if the light emitting region is made small, there is a problem that the electrode contact area of the mesa portion becomes small and the contact resistance becomes high. Further, since the polyimide resin has a low thermal conductivity, the heat dissipation effect of the device is hindered, and continuous oscillation operation is difficult.

A second conductive type impurity is diffused in high concentration from the surface side of the clad layer to the peripheral part except the laser emitting part to disorder the multi-quantum well structure in the lower part, so that a current flows in the active region in the planar structure.

The element manufacturing procedure is as follows. First, the liquid crystal epitaxial method (LPE method), which is a conventional crystal growth technique, is used to form the N-type InGaAsP layer 3 (up to 0.5 μm thick) and the N-type InP layer 4 (up to 0.5 μm) on the N-type InP substrate 2. 5

Next, the peripheral silicon nitride film and silicon oxide film except for the circular laser emitting part with a radius of 10 μm are removed by ordinary photolithography and etching techniques, and then ZnP 2 and ZnAs 2 are used as diffusion sources. High-concentration P-type impurity diffusion region 10 for thermal diffusion of Zn (600 ℃, 30min) by phase
Form 2. At this time, impurities were diffused. The MQW layer 101 becomes a disordered MQW layer 103, and the band gap is sufficiently larger than the lowest quantum level energy of the MQW layer 101 due to the effect of homogenizing the composition. It becomes transparent. Next, a P-type ohmic electrode (An / Zn) is vapor-deposited on the region where Zn is thermally diffused. Next, an N-type ohmic electrode (Au / Sn) is vapor-deposited on the back surface side of the N-type InP substrate, followed by sintering treatment (400 ° C., 10 min). Patterning is performed on the back surface of the laser emitting portion, and holes are opened with a hydrochloric acid-based etching solution. Since the etching rate of hydrochloric acid-based etchant is high for InP, but slow for InGaAsP layer 3,
Only nP can be easily etched. Next, a thin film of An (up to 400 Å) is vapor-deposited on the front and back surfaces to form the reflective films 10 and 11.

The operating principle of the device is that a current is passed from the electrode 7 to the electrode 1 so that the p-InP layer 5 and the high-concentration P-type impurity diffusion region 1 are formed.
Holes from 02 and electrons from the N-InP layer 4 are MQW, respectively.
It is injected into the layer 101 and recombines to emit light. This light is reflected film 1
It resonates between 0 and 11 and oscillates to generate laser oscillation light 13 and 13 'to the outside.

In this structure, since it is not necessary to perform complicated etching on the surface side of the substrate, the yield is improved, and surface recombination can be reduced because the active layer is not exposed. Further, the contact area of the P-type electrode is set to the high-concentration P-type impurity diffusion region 102.
The contact resistance can be reduced because it can be widely formed. Further, since the heat dissipation characteristic is better than that of the embodiment, continuous operation laser oscillation at room temperature can be obtained.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described using the sectional structure shown in FIG. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 106 denotes a distributed reflection region having a periodic structure of the InP low refractive index layer 107 and the InGaAsP high refractive index layer 108. InP low refractive index layer 107 and InGaAsP high refractive index layer 108
Since they have different refractive indexes, they act as a refractive index modulation type diffraction grating. The thickness d of each layer is the wavelength λ of the laser light.
And the refractive index n for this wavelength can be expressed as follows.

In this structure, the light emission of the MQW layer is the same as that in the previous embodiment, and the laser oscillation occurs when light is reflected between the reflective film 10 and the distributed Bragg reflector region 106. At this time, the wavelength of light oscillates at only a single wavelength due to the influence of the wavelength dependence of the reflectance of the distributed Bragg reflector region. Since this structure is completely planarized, it is possible to increase the yield and obtain a semiconductor laser that operates at a low threshold current and has uniform characteristics.
