<p>A semiconductor optical device has a ridge of a laser device having a mesa shape, or has a mesa portion of an LED, each obtained by forming a groove in a semiconductor substrate. The groove is filled with a resin containing benzocyclobutene. Since the resin is buried in the groove to reliably and easily planarize its surface, it is possible to improve the flatness of the surface of the device, and reduce the dielectric constant and the water absorbance. This makes it possible to provide a high-performance, high-reliability semiconductor optical device. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
