- a striped SiO 2 mask 26 having a width of 10 ⁇ m is formed with an interval of 20 ⁇ m.
- the p-type InGaAsP contact layer 25 and the p-type InP cladding layer 24 are mesa-etched by performing wet etching using the SiO 2 mask as an etching mask.
- the SiO 2 mask 26 is used as it is as a selective growth mask, and the i-type InP cladding layer 25 is re-seen so as to be almost the same height as the upper surface of the p-type InGaAsP contact layer 25. Grow. At this time, since the width of the SiO 2 mask 26 is 10 ⁇ m, a selective growth effect does not appear remarkably and a flat layer having no film thickness distribution is formed.
- the input waveguide pattern, 1 ⁇ 2 MMI waveguide pattern, two modulation waveguide patterns, 2 ⁇ 1 MMI waveguide pattern, and output waveguide pattern are used.
- a SiO 2 mask 28 is formed.
- the two modulation waveguide patterns in the SiO 2 mask 28 are patterns in which arcs having a width of 1.5 ⁇ m, a curvature of 300 ⁇ m, and an angle of 10.5 ° are folded and connected.
- the waveguide positions of the outermost part and the innermost part are shifted by about 10 ⁇ m with respect to the extending direction of the waveguide, and the center line of the meandering pattern with a period of about 200 ⁇ m is the p-type InGaAsP contact layer 25 and i. It is formed so as to be located at the boundary with the type InP cladding layer 27.
- a portion of the n-type InP cladding layer 22 is etched to form a high mesa waveguide.
- the waveguide By forming the waveguide using the dry etching technique, it is possible to accurately produce the bent waveguide and the MMI waveguide without being influenced by the plane orientation dependency. Since the 1 ⁇ 2 MMI waveguide, the 2 ⁇ 1 MMI waveguide, and the input / output waveguide other than the modulation waveguide are disposed inside the modulation waveguide, the clad layer becomes the i-type InP clad layer 27.
- both sides of the mesa are filled with BCB resin through a thin SiO 2 film, and then the p-type InGaAsP contact layer 25 is cued.
- an individual electrode on the waveguide in contact with the exposed p-type InGaAsP contact layer 25 is formed, and the individual electrode on the waveguide is connected to the wide electrode, whereby the capacitively loaded MZ type modulator shown in FIG. Is obtained.
- Example 1 of the present invention the i-type InP cladding layer is regrown using the selective growth mask having a width that does not exhibit the selective growth effect. A flat layer having no thickness distribution is obtained, and the waveguide loss can be greatly reduced. Further, since the entire surface is flat, the SiO 2 mask is not peeled off when forming the waveguide, and the pattern accuracy is improved, so that the difficulty in manufacturing the device is greatly reduced. Note that the structure in which the waveguide is bent, such as the modulation waveguide according to the first embodiment of the present invention, has an advantage that the difference in the propagation speed of the optical signal with respect to the electric signal can be adjusted to facilitate speed matching.

That is, a waveguide region provided with the p-type InP cladding layer 24 and a waveguide region provided with the i-type InP cladding layer 27 are formed by a linear portion and bent portions connected to both ends thereof, and the bent portions are connected to each other. Thus, an S-shaped connection waveguide is obtained. Since the i-type InP clad layer 27 has a smaller optical loss than the p-type and the i-type, not only the separation part between the electrodes but also the part where the electrode is not formed is as much as possible. It is desirable to arrange the waveguide pattern to be a layer.
- the split electrode is formed by appropriately arranging the waveguide pattern using a SiO 2 mask having a constant width regardless of the ratio of the portion where the split electrode is formed. You can change the ratio of the parts to be. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the growth conditions of the i-type InP clad layer depending on this ratio, and even if elements having different ratios are produced in the same wafer, the thickness of the i-type InP clad layer may be distributed. Absent.
