ABSTRACT:
A surface-emitting semiconductor laser device includes a semi-insulating substrate, a layer structure with a bottom multilayer reflector, an n-type cladding layer, an active layer structure for emitting laser, a p-type cladding layer and a top multilayer reflector with a dielectric material, consecutively formed on the semi-insulating substrate, the active layer structure, the p-type cladding layer and the top multilayer reflector, configuring a mesa post formed on a portion of the n-type cladding layer, the p-type cladding layer or the p-type multilayer reflector. The surface-emitting semiconductor laser includes a p-side electrode formed on another portion of the p-type cladding layer, and an n-side electrode formed on another portion of the n-type cladding layer. The n-side electrode includes a substantially uniform Au film and AuGeNi film or AuGe film consecutively formed on the n-type cladding layer, and an alloy is formed between said Au film and said AuGeNi film or AuGe film.
