| 摘要 |
A new structure of a semiconductor optical device and a method to produce the device are disclosed. One embodiment of the optical device of the invention provides a blocking region including, from the side close to the mesa, a p-type first layer and a p-type second layer. The first layer is co-doped with an n-type impurity and a p-type impurity. The doping concentration of the p-type impurity in the first layer is smaller than that in the second layer, so, the first layer performs a function of a buffer layer for the Zn diffusion from the second layer to the active layer in the mesa structure.
