Method for manufacture of a buried structure laser device for integrated photonic circuit

摘要

A method for the manufacture of a buried structure laser device for integration with an optical guide in a photonic circuit. This method brings about the successive growth, on a buffer layer doped with carriers of a first type and covering the entire surface of a substrate doped with carriers of the same type, a first guiding layer formed by a non-doped quaternary compound, an extremely thin intermediate layer highly doped with carriers of the first type. A second active layer is formed by a non-doped quaternary compound, and a protection layer is doped with carriers of a second type where only the active layer is etched in the form of one or more steps and then buried in a layer of sheathing doped with carriers of the second type.
