- a description will be given of the p-side electrode 5 according to the comparative example having the film thickness according to.
- the electrode structure, the electrode thickness, the calculated thermal resistance value R T , the thermal resistance value per unit area R T /S, the thermal resistance value R T of the entire semiconductor laser device 1 , LD are shown in Table 2.
- the thickness of the Ti layer is 30 nm
- the thickness of the Pt layer is 30 nm
- the thickness of the Au layer is 100 nm.
- the thickness of the Ti layer is 45 nm
- the thickness of the Pt layer is 100 nm
- the thickness of the Au layer is 100 nm.
- the reference area of the thermal resistance value R T /S per unit area is the area of the contact portion between the p-side electrode 5 and the p-type contact layer 14, that is, the opening area of the opening A, and the current injection width w It is represented by the product of c and the current injection length L c .
- the overall thermal resistance value R T,LD of the semiconductor laser device 1 is the bias current-bias voltage (IV) characteristic and the bias current-laser light output (IL) in the state of the chip-on submount 20. It is a value derived from the characteristics and the current dependence of the oscillation wavelength.
- the thermal resistance value R T according to the example is halved from 8 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 K/W to 4 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 K/W as compared with the thermal resistance value R T according to the comparative example.
- the thermal resistance value R T /S per unit area in this case is 1.2 ⁇ 10 4 K/W ⁇ m 2 .
- the thermal resistance value R T,LD of the entire semiconductor laser device 1 is reduced by 0.32 K/W in the example as compared with the comparative example.
- the thermal resistance value R T,LD of the entire semiconductor laser device 1 is reduced in the order of 10 ⁇ 1 K/W (100 mK/W) of about 0.32 K/W, and the entire semiconductor laser device 1 is reduced. It can be seen that the thermal resistance value R T,LD of is improved by about two orders of magnitude with respect to the reduction of the thermal resistance value R T of the p-side electrode 5.
- the Ti layer and the Pt layer in the p-side electrode 5 are calculated by making them thinner than the conventional one so that the thermal resistance value per unit area is 1.2 ⁇ 10 4 K/W ⁇ m 2 or less. It can be seen that the actual semiconductor laser device 1 has an effect of improving the thermal resistance by about 80 times compared with the thermal resistance value. This is because the thermal resistance is improved above the calculated value by suppressing the interfacial reaction layer and the intermetallic compound formed by the heat treatment performed after forming the p-side electrode 5, and the forward voltage is further reduced. it is conceivable that.
- the adhesion is about the same in the comparative example and the example. It was also confirmed that the peeling of the p-side electrode 5 did not occur when the resist was lifted off during the formation of the electrode pattern. Further, even if the Ti layer is thinned and the Pt layer as the second layer is thinned from 100 nm in the comparative example to 30 nm in the example, no difference in reliability in the aging test is observed between the example and the comparative example.
- the line profiles of the constituent elements Ga, As, Ti, Pt, and Au were measured by the STEM-EDS method.
- a thin interface reaction layer having a film thickness of about 5 nm in which Ga, As, and Ti were mixed was observed between the GaAs layer, which is the p-type contact layer, and the Ti layer. Therefore, the thickness of the Ti layer that is the first layer is preferably 5 nm or more. Further, considering the effect of improving WPE due to the improvement of thermal resistance and the film thickness variation of the Ti layer of about 5 nm at the time of forming the Ti layer as the first layer, it has been clarified that the range of 35 nm or less is preferable. ..
- the film thickness of the Pt layer that is the second layer is less than 30 nm, the Pt layer does not function as a barrier metal for the Au layer. Accordingly, the film thickness of the Pt layer that is the second layer is preferably 30 nm or more. From the viewpoint of thermal resistance, it is preferable that the total thickness of the first Ti layer and the second Pt layer is smaller. However, considering the film thickness variation of about 5 nm when forming the Pt layer, the film thickness of the second Pt layer is preferably in the range of 30 nm to 35 nm.
- the total thickness of the Ti layer as the first layer and the Pt layer as the second layer is preferably 70 nm or less.
- the Au layer which is the third layer, is superior to other metals in terms of thermal resistance and electric resistance, and is therefore the most suitable electrode material for high-power semiconductor laser devices.
- the material of the third layer is not limited to Au, and a multi-layer metal laminated structure or the like may be adopted.
- FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6 show the relative values of the optical output, the relative value of the forward voltage, and the relative electro-optical conversion efficiency in the semiconductor laser device 1 of the example according to the embodiment and the comparative example of the related art, respectively. It is a graph which shows a value. 4 to 6, the relative value of the example is a relative value standardized with all of the light output, forward voltage, and electro-optical conversion efficiency in the comparative example according to the related art.
- the optical output of the semiconductor laser device according to the example increased by about 1.1% as compared with the comparative example. It is considered that this is because the junction temperature decreased as the thermal resistance of the p-side electrode 5 decreased. It can be seen from FIG. 5 that the forward voltage of the semiconductor laser device according to the example is reduced by about 0.2% as compared with the comparative example. This is because the electrode material of the p-side electrode 5 was the same in the example and the comparative example, so that the thickness of the p-side electrode 5 was reduced, and the formation of the interface reaction layer and the intermetallic compound was suppressed. It is considered that this is because the electrical resistance was reduced. It can be seen from FIG.
- the WPE of the semiconductor laser device according to the example increased by about 1.2% as compared with the comparative example. It is considered that this is due to not only the increase in light output but also the decrease in forward voltage. From these results, it is understood that the junction temperature is lowered by lowering the thermal resistance of the p-side electrode 5, the light output can be increased, and the WPE can be improved.
- the Ti/Pt layer in the p-side electrode 5, which is the p-side electrode of the semiconductor laser device, is made thinner than in the past, and the thermal resistance value per unit area is 1.2.
- the WPE of the semiconductor laser device 1 can be improved by controlling the density to be not more than ⁇ 10 4 K/W ⁇ m 2 .
- the present invention has been specifically described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention.
- the numerical values and the configuration of the semiconductor laser device described in the above-described embodiment are merely examples, and different numerical values and configurations may be used if necessary.
- the present invention can be preferably used for industrial lasers with high output and high efficiency.
