Description
第1のIII−V化合物半導体:n型InP、
厚さ350μm、キャリア濃度1×1018cm−3
第2のIII−V化合物半導体:n型InP、
厚さ0.55μm、キャリア濃度8×1017cm−3
活性領域15:InGaAsP系半導体
第3のIII−V化合物半導体:p型InP、
厚さ0.44μm、キャリア濃度8×1017cm−3
第4のIII−V化合物半導体:p型InGaAs、
厚さ0.20μm、キャリア濃度2×1017cm−3
である。活性領域15は、例えば、単一の半導体層からなる構造、単一の量子井戸構造、多重量子井戸構造といった構成を有することができる。後工程においてマストランスポートを容易に生じさせるために、第3のIII−V化合物半導体はInP領域を含むことが好ましい。
熱処理温度T1:摂氏685度
熱処理時間:20分
リン雰囲気を形成するためのガス:PH3、流量100sccm
である。熱処理温度の好適な範囲は、摂氏570度〜摂氏800度である。ガス流量の好適な範囲は、20sccm以上500sccmである。好適な熱処理時間の範囲は、5分以上60分以下である。
第1のブロック層43a:p型InP
厚さ1.0μm、キャリア濃度1.3×1018cm−3
第2のブロック層43b:n型InP
厚さ1.0μm、キャリア濃度2.0×1018cm−3
である。なお、第1のブロック層43aはFeドープの高抵抗InPでもよい。埋め込み領域43は、シリコン系無機絶縁物からなるマスク29上には実質的に堆積されず、埋め込み領域43は、基板11および光導波路メサ構造31上に温度T2で堆積される。このため、光導波路メサ構造31の側面は埋め込み層に覆われ、光導波路メサ構造31は埋め込まれる。
第2導電型クラッド膜45:p型InP、
厚さ1.65μm、キャリア濃度1.5×1019cm−3
第2導電型コンタクト膜47:p型InGaAs、
