Abstract:
Process for preparation of a mesa- or bridge structure in a layer or layer series (LLS) in which their sides are coated by the steps: (a) application of a sacrificial layer (SL) to the LLS; (b) application and structuring of a mask layer onto the SL; (c) partial removal of the SP and the LLS, especially by anisotropic etching; (d) selective removal of part of the SL layer from the sides; (e) application of a coating to the sides of the structures obtained. An independent claim is included for a process for preparation of a Ridge-Waveguide-Laser diode chip.

Abstract:
The invention relates to an optical semiconductor device comprising a multiple quantum well structure, in which well layers and barrier layers consisting of different types of semiconductor layers are stacked alternately on top of one another. The invention is characterised in that the well layers (6a) have a first composition, based on a nitride semiconductor material with a first electron energy and the barrier layers (6b) have a second composition based on a nitride semiconductor material with a higher electron energy in relation to the first electron energy. An active radiative quantum well layer (6c) is located downstream of said layers in the epitaxial direction and the essentially non-radiative well layers (6a) positioned upstream, together with the barrier layers (6b) form a superlattice for said active quantum well layer.
