Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, in the conventional semiconductor laser device 1, since the non-alloyed layer 17 is formed directly under the light-emitting region 8 of the semiconductor laser element 2, there is a problem that the non-alloyed layer 17 and the ohmic electrode layer ( Alloyed layer 19) or the active region (light-emitting region 8) have different thermal expansion coefficients, and stress is generated on the light-emitting region 8, so that the effect of improving reliability cannot be sufficiently obtained.

Abstract

The present invention relates to semiconductor laser devices and electronic equipment. Provided is a semiconductor laser device that can reduce stress generated in a semiconductor laser element and achieve a longer life. According to the semiconductor laser device, the solder layer ( 114 ) does not exist in the first region ( R1 ) from the center line ( J1 ) of the light emitting region ( 150 ) to both sides toward the orthogonal direction X Leave the area at the specified dimension (L1). That is, the first region ( R1 ) in which the light emitting region ( 150 ) exists becomes an incompletely bonded region between the solder layer ( 114 ) of the semiconductor laser element ( 100 ) and the heat sink ( 200 ). Therefore, the stress applied to the light emitting region (150) during operation due to differences in thermal expansion coefficients of the semiconductor laser element (100), the solder layer (114) and the heat sink (200) can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to semiconductor laser devices and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in semiconductor laser devices, heat sinks have been used in order to prevent reduction in luminous efficiency due to temperature rise of the semiconductor laser element during laser operation, damage to the semiconductor laser element, and the like. That is, a heat sink is adhered to the lower surface of the semiconductor laser element through a solder layer, and the heat generated during operation is effectively dissipated from the heat sink. [0003] However, since the thermal expansion coefficients of the semiconductor laser element and the heat sink are different, stress is generated, and internal stress is generated in the semiconductor laser element. That is, there is a problem that the semiconductor layer constituting the semiconductor laser element is deformed. [0004] To deal with this problem, in the convent...
