Abstract

We developed a dry etching process for fabricating InGaAlAs laser mesa stripes and used it to fabricate an InGaAlAs-BH laser. We used optimized Cl/sub 2//N/sub 2/ ECR plasma for the etching of an InGaAlAs laser multilayer structure. Use of this Cl/sub 2//N/sub 2/ ECR plasma resulted in a uniform etching rate and resulted in an anisotropic etching by a nitrified side-protection mechanism. This smooth and anisotropic dry etching thus produced a well-matched interface between the etched surface and the semi-insulated Fe-InP regrown surface. The fabricated InGaAlAs-BH laser showed the stable operation at 85/spl deg/C.
