Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to semiconductor devices. Background technique [0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a semiconductor laser. This semiconductor laser includes a p-type cladding layer, an n-type cladding layer, and an active layer provided between the p-type cladding layer and the n-type cladding layer. A first optical confinement layer made of an i-type semiconductor is provided between the active layer and the p-type cladding layer. A second optical confinement layer made of an i-type semiconductor is provided between the active layer and the n-type cladding layer. A diffusion suppressing layer for suppressing diffusion of impurities from the p-type cladding layer into the active layer is provided between the first optical confinement layer and the p-type cladding layer. [0003] The diffusion suppressing layer contains n-type impurities. Therefore, diffusion of Zn impurity from the p-type cladding layer does not reach the active layer...
