<p>A process for manufacturing buried hetero-structure laser diodes includes the steps of forming a stacked semiconductor layer on a substrate; forming a mask layer on the stacked semiconductor layer; forming a semiconductor mesa by etching the stacked semiconductor layer through the mask layer; forming an overhang of the mask layer by selectively etching the stacked semiconductor layer of the semiconductor mesa; selectively growing a buried layer on a side surface of the semiconductor mesa while leaving the mask layer on the semiconductor mesa; forming a lateral portion of the buried layer, the lateral portion having a side surface adjacent to the side surface of the semiconductor mesa; after forming the lateral portion of the buried layer, removing the mask layer on the semiconductor mesa; and forming an electrode on a top surface of the semiconductor mesa and on the side surface of the lateral portion of the buried layer.</p> |
