    Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device using nitride III-V compound semiconductors is improved to reduce the threshold current density with almost no increase of the operation voltage. In a GaN semiconductor laser as one version thereof, the p-type cladding layer (10) is made of two or more semiconductor layers (10a, 10b) different in band gap, and a part (10a) of the p-type cladding layer (10) near one of its boundaries nearer to the active layer is made of a semiconductor layer having a larger band gap than that of the remainder part (10b). More specifically, in a AlGaN/GaN/GaInN SCH-structured GaN semiconductor laser, a p-type AlGaN cladding layer (10) is made of a p-type Alx1Ga1-x1N layer (10a) in contact with a p- type GaN optical guide layer (9), and a p-type Alx2Ga1-x2N layer (10b) overlying the p-type Alx1Ga1-x1N layer (10a) (where 0≤x2

    Abstract: A semiconductor laser device arranged so that at least one of cladding layers is formed of a thin AlGaInP layer having a larger energy band gap as compared with an active layer adjacent to the active layer and an AlGaAs layer having a high thermal conductivity as compared with that of the AlGaInP layer and the larger energy band gap as compared with the active layer, which is located between the AlGaInP layer and a heat sink, whereby a heat generated in the active layer is effectively radiated to the heat sink, thus the semiconductor laser being made capable of continuously emitting a laser light of a short wavelength at a room temperature.

    Abstract: A semiconductor laser capable of emitting blue or green light is disclosed. The semiconductor laser comprises an n-type ZnMgSSe cladding layer (2), an active layer (3), a p-type ZnMgSSe cladding layer (4), a p-type ZnSe contact layer (5) and a p-type ZnTe contact layer (6) which are stacked in this sequence on an n-type GaAs substrate (1). A p-side electrode (7) is provided on the p-type ZnTe contact layer (6). An n-side electrode (8) is provided on the back surface of the n-type GaAs substrate (1). A maltiquantum well layer (9) comprising quantum wells made of p-type ZnTe and barriers made of p-type ZnSe is provided in the depletion layer produced in the p-type ZnSe contact layer (5) along the junction interface between the p-type ZnSe contact layer (5) and the p-type ZnTe contact layer (6). Holes injected from the p-side electrode (7) pass through the junction by the resonant tunneling effect through quantum levels formed in the quantum wells of the multiquantum well layer (9).

    Abstract: Nitride semiconductor wafers which are produced by epitaxially grown nitride films on a foreign undersubstrate in vapor phase have strong inner stress due to misfit between the nitride and the undersubstrate material. A GaN wafer which has made by piling GaN films upon a GaAs undersubstrate in vapor phase and eliminating the GaAs undersubstrate bends upward due to the inner stress owing to the misfit of lattice constants between GaN and GaAs. Ordinary one-surface polishing having the steps of gluing a wafer with a surface on a flat disc, bringing another surface in contact with a lower turntable, pressing the disc, rotating the disc, revolving the turntable and whetting the lower surface, cannot remedy the inherent distortion. The Distortion worsens morphology of epitaxial wafers, lowers yield of via-mask exposure and invites cracks on surfaces. Nitride crystals are rigid but fragile. Chemical/mechanical polishing has been requested in vain. Current GaN wafers have roughened bottom surfaces, which induce contamination of particles and fluctuation of thickness. Circular nitride wafers having a diameter larger than 45mm are made and polished. Gross-polishing polishes the nitride wafers in a pressureless state with pressure less than 60g/cm by lifting up the upper turntable for remedying distortion. Distortion height H at a center is reduced to H≤12 mu m. Minute-polishing is a newly-contrived CMP which polishes the nitride wafers with a liquid including potassium hydroxide, potassium peroxodisulfate and powder, irradiates the potassium peroxodisulfate with ultraviolet rays. The CMP-polished top surface has roughness RMS of 0.1nm≤RMS≤5nm or more favorably 0.1nm≤RMS≤0.5nm. The CMP-polished bottom surface has roughness RMS of 0.1nm≤RMS≤5000nm or more favorably 0.1nm≤RMS≤2nm. TTV is less than 10 mu m.
