A method for producing a semiconductor laser which comprises sequentially depositing a lower cladding layer, an active layer, and an upper cladding layer on a substrate, forming a V shaped groove in the deposited layers at least reaching the lower cladding layer, the groove extending in a direction perpendicular to the direction between the surfaces that are to become resonator end surfaces, growing a semiconductor layer having a larger energy band gap than that of the active layer in the groove while retaining the V shaped groove, and cleaving the substrate and layers along the V shaped groove.
