    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor device using a nitride base III-V family compound semiconductor which is appropriate to a semiconductor laser, a light emitting diode and the like. SOLUTION: A GaN base semiconductor laser wafer is prepared by forming multiple semiconductor lasers on an AlGaInN base semiconductor layer 20 on a chamfered sapphire substrate 11, in such a way that they are separated from one another by grooves 24 reaching the substrate 11 and forming a p side electrode 21 and an n side electrode 22. Then the wafer is adhered to an Si wafer containing photodiodes on which photodiodes for light output monitor and solder layers 34 and 36 are formed for each pellet. The electrodes 21 and 22 are adhered to the semiconductor layers 34 and 36 respectively. The semiconductor lasers on the Si wafer containing photodiodes are separated from one another by lapping the substrate 11 from the underside up to the grooves 24 or dicing the substrate 11 from the underside. The Si wafer is separated into pellets by dicing and packages are formed.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent heat from radiating and dissipating to environment, enhance the heating efficiency of a recording material and contrive to enhance the flying efficiency of the recording material by a method wherein the porous structure for retaining and feeding the recording material and the heater for thermally flying the recording material are provided so as to be separated from each other on the base material provided on a recording material housing part. CONSTITUTION: On the spacer 82 provided on a recording material housing part opposite to a body to be recorded, the porous structure or the group of small columnar bodies 80 and the heater 75 for a thermally flying recording material are provided so as to be separated from each other. Thus, the heat developing from the heater 75 does not substantially fly to the porous structure. Further, since no porous structure is present above the surface of the heater 75, the heat of the heater is directly applied to the heating of dyes and consequently fully utilized. Accordingly, the heating efficiency to dyes by the heater 75 is enhanced so as to enhance the evaporating efficiency of the dyes in order to allow to improve recording performance.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To always perform visually good recording not causing a white stripe or high density joint like stripe between lines even in the recording of an image having graduation properties by superposing first recording and second recording one upon another so that density is made lower than that of other region in the adjacent region of them. CONSTITUTION:In the overlap of recording dots, the terminal dot jm of an Ai line and the head dot j1 of an Ai+1 line are overlapped to set the recording density of both dots to 1/2 that of other dots. For example, in the case of shift, quantity S=0, the recording deNsity of the mutually overlapped dots jm, j1 is 1/2 the recording density of other dots not overlapped each other and, therefore, at the overlapped place, sum total recording density is same to other density and no recording density difference is generated. In the case of S=+1, dots jm-1, j1 are overlapped and the sum total recording density is only 1.5 times the recording density of other dots and, since an overlap position is expanded to a position of two dots, it is inconspicuous.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce or annihilate N-type conduction on the interface of an epitaxial growth layer and an InP substrate by thermally treating the InP sub strate for thirty min or more at a growth temperature or more in a PH3 atmo sphere before growth, changing over PH3 to a reaction gas and starting vapor growth. CONSTITUTION:An InP substrate 1 is arranged onto a susceptor in a reaction tube, and the inside of the reaction tube is supplied with PH3 in a 20% hydrogen base and H2 gas as a carrier gas at normal pressure before growth. The InP substrate 1 is heated, the temperature of the substrate is kept at a vapor growth temperature of 640 deg.C, and the state is maintained for a fixed time and the supply of PH3 is stopped. The gas is changed over and the inside of the reaction tube is fed with a reaction gas composed of AsH3, trimethylpotassium and trimethylindium together with the carrier gas, and the growth of undoped GaInAs 4 is started. The holding time when the InP substrate is held in a PH3 atmosphere is increased while sheet carrier concentration No representing conduc tion on the interface 5 is reduced. When the holding time is lengthened to thirty min or more, sheet carrier concentration No can be diminished extremely or brought to zero.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor light-emitting diode capable of restraining the influence of damage by dry etching at a level difference section and improving element characteristics and reliability. SOLUTION: A p-side electrode 21 and an n-side electrode 22 are provided at a first region 10A and a second region 10B, respectively. A boundary region 10C between both of them is set to a two-stage structure of a first level difference section 31 in a p-type cladding layer 13 and a second level difference section 33 straddling over a pn junction section 14 with a flat section 32 in between. The thickness of the p-type cladding layer 13 in the flat section 32 becomes small, thus preventing current from spreading laterally. Current C injected from the p-side electrode 21 enters the n-type cladding layer 12 after lowering to the flat section 32 along the first level difference section 31, and flows toward the n-side electrode 22 laterally; and the path of the current C is separated from the second level difference section 33. Even if a pn structure on the surface of the second level difference section 33 is damaged by dry etching, the generation of a leak path, or the like is restrained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
