Title: Semiconductor laser

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5421318

A new laser structure having self-aligned junction stripe geometry grown by the MO CVD process is disclosed. The laser is grown on a groove-etched substrate and has a DH structure with a small V-shaped active region. A current path in the V-shaped region is formed using anomalous zinc diffusion during growth, which allows a broad area metal contact for both sides of the wafer.
