A lateral current injection (LCI) multiquantum well (MQW) laser having planar structure is proposed and its advantages are discussed in comparison with conventional vertical structure lasers. A LCI-MQW laser has been fabricated by using Si- and Zn-induced disordering of an MQW active layer. It has been shown that a threshold current of 27 mA is achieved under pulsed current driven at room temperature and a very low stray capacitance of 0.27 pF has also been demonstrated at zero bias voltage.
