    Abstract: A method of performing anisotropic etching more than once with respect to a semiconductor substrate (1) is provided with the steps of performing first-time anisotropic etching by using a first etching mask (2) so as to form a first anisotropically etched region (4) which is hollow, forming a second etching mask (7) over the first etching mask (2), performing second-time anisotropic etching by using the second etching mask (7), and previously forming the first etching mask (2) from a material which is resistant to an etchant used for patterning the second etching mask (7) before the first-time anisotropic etching is performed. Thus, the edge portion (6) of the first etched region (4) is protected so that its configuration is excellently maintained. By way of example, either of the etching masks is composed of a dielectric material such as a silicon dioxide film, while the other etching mask is composed of a metallic material such as Au and Ti, and the second-time anisotropic etching is performed by using diluted potassium hydroxide.

    Abstract: A diffraction element including a diffraction grating for dividing a light beam, emitted from a light source along a predetermined path, into a principal light beam and at least two auxiliary light b eams, and a hologram for separating the beam, which has been reflected from an optical information recording medium, from the predetermined path. The diffraction grating and the hologram are integrated together in the form as formed in opposite portions of a block of glass or plastics in alignment with each other. A slide provided in at least a portion of the diffraction element for sliding engagement with a cylindrical surface axial with an optical axis of the diffraction element to permit the diffraction element to be rotatable about the optical axis.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate factors that deteriorate laser characteristics and productivity of a two-wavelength semiconductor laser device by etching and embedding growth. SOLUTION: On an n-type GaAs substrate 1, an n-type AlGaAs clad layer 2, an AlGaAs multiple quantum well active layer 3, a p-type cladding layer 4 are formed sequentially, and then current block regions 5 are formed on parts of the p-type cladding layer 4 to form infrared laser structures 21. Regions containing two light-emitting regions are removed, to form recessed regions 23 in parallel and at equal intervals. Red laser structures 22 are formed on the recessed regions by growing an n-type AlGaInP clad layer 7, an AlGaInP multiple quantum well active layer 8, and a p-type clad layer 9 in this order, again by means of a crystal growing method such as MOVPE method. After the infrared laser structures 21 and the red laser structures 22 are isolated, and n-side electrodes 12 and p-side electrodes 10 and 11 are formed, chip separation is made at each boundary between two light-emitting regions.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an inclined surface 111 from tilting over an orthogonal direction of the main surface of a silicon substrate and to separate stray light of leaked laser light from normal light, when a groove having the inclined surface 111 is formed on the silicon substrate of a surface 100, and one of the inclined surfaces serves as a reflective mirror surface for reflecting light emitted from a semiconductor laser chip. SOLUTION: A trapezoid groove or a prismoid recession, which includes a surface (111), is formed on a silicon substrate 10 of a surface (100) that has an off-angle of 5-15 deg. with a direction serving as an axis. And one of the surfaces that tilts to about 45' is allowed to serve as a reflecting mirror surface 12. A laser chip 13 is fixed, such that an end surface of the semiconductor laser chip 13 is in parallel with the upper edge line of the surface which faces opposite to the reflective mirror surface 12.
