Fabrication method of a semiconductor laser device

摘要

In a method for fabricating a semiconductor laser device, a plurality of grooves are formed in a surface of one conductive type of an InP layer. The InP layer is thermally treated in an atmosphere including at least a gas containing phosphorus and a gas containing arsenic in a mixed state, thereby forming a plurality of active regions made of InAsP in the plurality of grooves. An other conductive type of semiconductor layer is formed after the active regions are formed.
