Problems solved by technology

However, according to the results of experiments performed by the inventors, it was found that, except for Au and Pt, metals used in semiconductor laser chips were oxidized, and therefore, deterioration such as an increase in operating voltage occurred when this method was employed.
For example, if the solder that fixes the GaN-based semiconductor laser chip to the stem or the electrode used for the GaN-based semiconductor laser chip is oxidized by ozone, performance degradation or shortened life may occur
On the other hand, sufficient effect cannot be obtained if ultraviolet irradiation is performed only without an ozone atmosphere
We have found that, especially in continuous operation at an ambient temperature of 60°C, there will be degradation (increased drive current)

[0067] (Structure of Nitride Semiconductor Laser Device)

[0068] 1A and 1B are a top view and a side view, respectively, illustrating a schematic structure of a nitride semiconductor laser device according to the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a schematic structure of a laser chip mounting bracket constituting a nitride semiconductor laser device.

[0069]As shown in FIG. 1B , a nitride semiconductor laser device 101 includes a laser chip fixing bracket 100 and a tube case 106 covering and enclosing the laser chip fixing bracket 100 . The laser chip fixing mount 100 includes a base 102 on which a nitride semiconductor laser chip 103 is mounted, and a stem 104 having a block portion 105 to which the base 102 is fixed. The stem 104 and its land portion 105 are integrally molded, and are composed of a metal such as copper or iron on which Au or the like is plated.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 1A, the package 106 is equipped with a light transparent window 107, and the laser beam...

[0113] Next, the manufacturing method according to the second example of the present invention will be described mainly around the differences from the manufacturing method in the above-mentioned first example. The steps up to the simultaneous die bonding and wire bonding of the nitride semiconductor laser chip 103, the submount 102, and the stem 104 are similar to those in the manufacturing method according to the first example. After the steps are completed, the laser chip holder 100 and the package 106 are put into the ozone generator 290 shown in FIG. 7 . Oxygen 295 under atmospheric pressure (having a purity of 99.9999% and a dew point of -10° C.) is introduced through the air inlet 291, and gradually sprayed out through the gas outlet 292. At this time, the ozone generator 290 is almost only filled with oxygen. The laser chip fixing bracket 100 and the tube shell 106 are heated to a predetermined temperature of 220° C., and the ultraviolet lamp 293 is heated at 5.1 mW / cm...

[0118] Next, the manufacturing method according to the third example of the present invention will be described mainly around the differences from the manufacturing method in the above-mentioned first example. The steps up to the simultaneous die bonding and wire bonding of the nitride semiconductor laser chip 103, the submount 102, and the stem 104 are similar to those in the manufacturing method according to the first example. After the steps are completed, the laser chip fixing bracket 100 and the package 106 are put into the plasma generator 300 shown in FIG. 8 , and argon and oxygen gas are introduced through the gas inlet 311 . The flow rate of argon was set to 100 seem and the flow rate of oxygen was set to 100 seem. The vacuum pump 313 connected to the gas outlet 312 reduces the pressure inside the plasma generator 300 to 10Pa.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing a laser device, including fixing a laser chip to the inner part of a packaging with an optical transmission window; sealing the inner part; irradiating a light with a wave length of 420 nm or shorter to the inner part through the optical transmission window, at the same time, heating the laser device at the temperature of 70 DEG or more. The invention can remove pollutants on the packaging devices of the laser chip, a stem and a tube shell under the condition of not deteriorating the solder and electrode used by the laser chip, and can prevent a photochemical reactant from depositing on an illumination end surface when the laser chip works.

Description

[0001] This application document is a divisional application of the No. 200610091605.1 invention patent application submitted on June 6, 2006. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a laser device used as a light source for optical disc drives, testers, lighting devices, analyzers and the like. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a short-wavelength laser device, such as a gallium nitride semiconductor laser device, which emits a blue, violet, near-ultraviolet or ultraviolet laser beam in the short-wavelength range. Background technique [0003] Group III nitride semiconductors such as GaN, AlGaN, GaInN, and AlGaInN (hereinafter simply referred to as “gallium nitride-based semiconductors”) have a wider energy bandgap than AlGaInAs-based semiconductors or AlGaInP-based semiconductors. Therefore, such a semiconductor material is capable of emitting light having a short wavelength, and is more ex...
