A semiconductor laser comprises a sapphire substrate, an AlN buffer layer, Si-doped GaN n-layer, Si-doped Al0.1Ga0.9N n-cladding layer, Si-doped GaN n-guide layer, an active layer having multiple quantum well (MQW) structure in which about 35 Å in thickness of GaN barrier layer 62 and about 35 Å in thickness of Ga0.95In0.55N well layer 61 are laminated alternately, Mg-doped GaN p-guide layer, Mg-doped Al0.25Ga0.75N p-layer, Mg-doped Al0.1Ga0.9N p-cladding layer, and Mg-doped GaN p-contact layer are formed successively thereon. A ridged hole injection part B which contacts to a ridged laser cavity part A is formed to have the same width as the width w of an Ni electrode. Because the p-layer has a larger aluminum composition, etching rate becomes smaller and that can prevent from damaging the p-guide layer in this etching process.
