ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor laser includes a lower cladding layer, an active layer, a first upper cladding layer, an etch-stopping layer, a second upper cladding layer, and a contact layer successively laminated on a substrate, a ridge waveguide formed by selectively etching the second upper cladding layer and the contact layer with the use of a stripe-like insulating film as a mask to form a ridge, an AlAs oxide layer on the substrate and a second electrode on the substrate. Incorrect positioning does not occur between the ridge waveguide and a first electrode, reliability is improved, and the distribution of effective refractive index transverse to the resonation of the laser is reduced. A detailed method of fabricating this semiconductor laser is also provided.
