Method for producing semiconductor light receiving device and semiconductor light receiving device

摘要

A method for producing a semiconductor light receiving device includes the steps of growing a stacked semiconductor layer on a principal surface of a substrate, the stacked semiconductor layer including a light-receiving layer having a super-lattice structure, the super-lattice structure including a first semiconductor layer and a second semiconductor layer that are stacked alternately; forming a mask on the stacked semiconductor layer; forming a mesa structure on the substrate by etching the stacked semiconductor layer using the mask so as to form a substrate product, the mesa structure having a side surface exposed in an atmosphere; forming a fluorinated amorphous layer on the side surface of the mesa structure by exposing the substrate product in fluorine plasma; and after the step of forming the fluorinated amorphous layer, forming a passivation film containing an oxide on the side surface of the mesa structure.
