ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor laser. As a preparative step for coating an end face of a resonator with a dielectric film, a cleavage plane of a semiconductor laminated structure that is to be the end face is subjected to a plasma cleaning to prevent a conductive film, which absorbs laser light, from attaching to the cleavage plane. During the plasma cleaning, a first process gas containing argon gas and nitrogen gas is introduced into a vacuumed ECR sputtering apparatus. After the cleavage plane is exposed to the first process gas in the plasma state for a certain time period without application of a voltage, a second process gas containing argon gas and oxygen gas is introduced, and the cleavage plane is exposed to the second process gas in the plasma state while a voltage is applied to the silicon target.
