[0687] In some embodiments, the foregoing FIG. 3A to FIG. 3E , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D, FIG. 5A to FIG. 5D as well as FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D The semiconductor device 32 shown may be Figure 2-1A to Figure 2-3 The luminescent sensing package or Figures 7 to 13 A combination of one or more semiconductor light emitting elements.
[0688] Figure 7 FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor light emitting device 7000 according to an embodiment. FIG. 3A to FIG. 3E , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D , FIG. 5A to FIG. 5D as well as FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D The semiconductor device 32 shown may be a semiconductor light emitting device 7000, such as Figure 7 Referring to this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the semiconductor light emitting element 7000 includes a transparent base layer 7001, a bonding layer 7002, a laser unit 7003 and a plurality of first channels 7034. The transparent base layer 7001 includes a conductive layer 7010. For example, the transparent base layer 7001 includes sapphire, glass or silicon carbide (SiC). In some embodiments, the transparent base layer 7001 is an optical element, and can also produce a specific optical effect after patterning; for example, the optical element can enable the light emitting device to produce a patterned light source, and the light source is a point light source, a surface light source or a multiple pattern light source with a predetermined illumination area (FOI). The conductive layer 7010 includes a transparent conductive film (Transparent Conductive Oxide) or a metal. The transparent conductive film can be indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium zinc oxide (IZO). In this embodiment, the conductive layer 7010 is disposed between the transparent base layer 7001 and the bonding layer 7002.
[0689] One side of the bonding layer 7002 is connected to the conductive layer 7010 of the transparent base layer 7001, and the other side thereof is connected to the light-emitting side 7003S of the laser unit 7003. For example, the bonding layer 7002 may be benzocyclobutene (BCB), silicon dioxide or a transparent conductive film.
[0690] The laser unit 7003 includes a forward conductive structure 7030, a first-type semiconductor layer 7031, an active layer 7033, a second-type semiconductor layer 7035, an insulating layer 7036, and a back conductive structure 7032. The back conductive structure 7032 includes conductive electrodes 7032C and 7032D separated from each other. Here, the first type and the second type refer to semiconductor structures of different electrical properties. If the semiconductor structure has holes as the majority carriers, it is a p-type semiconductor, and if the semiconductor structure has electrons as the majority carriers, it is an n-type semiconductor. For example, the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 is an N-type semiconductor, and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 is a P-type semiconductor, and vice versa. The active layer 7033 is located between the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035, and includes a pn interface (p-n junction) to generate a depletion region for electron holes to recombine and emit light. In some embodiments, the active layer 7033 is composed of a multiple quantum well (MQW), so as to have better light-emitting efficiency than the pn interface, but the invention is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the materials of the first-type semiconductor layer 7031, the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 and the active layer 7033 include group III and V compound semiconductors, such as GaAs, InGaAs, AlGaAs, AlInGaAs, GaP, InGaP, AlInP, AlGaInP, GaN, InGaN, AlGaN, AlInGaN, AlAsSb, InGaAsP, InGaAsN, AlGaAsP, etc. In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the chemical formula includes "stoichiometric compounds" and "non-stoichiometric compounds", wherein "stoichiometric compounds" are, for example, the total element content of group III elements is the same as the total element content of group V elements, whereas "non-stoichiometric compounds" are, for example, the total element content of group III elements is different from the total element content of group V elements. For example, the chemical formula AlGaAs means that it contains Group III elements aluminum (Al) and / or gallium (Ga), and Group V elements arsenic (As), wherein the total element content of Group III elements (aluminum and / or gallium) may be the same as or different from the total element content of Group V elements (arsenic). In addition, if the compounds represented by the chemical formula are stoichiometric compounds, AlGaAs means Al x1 Ga (1-x1) As, where 0≤x1≤1; AlInP represents Al x2 In (1-x2) P, where 0≤x2≤1; AlGaInP represents (Al y1 Ga (1-y1) ) 1-x3 In x3 P, where 0≤x3≤1, 0≤y1≤1; AlGaN represents Al x4 Ga(1-x4) N, where 0≤x4≤1; AlAsSb represents AlAs x5 Sb (1-x5) , where 0≤x5≤1; InGaP represents In x6 Ga 1-x6 P, where 0≤x6≤1; InGaAsP represents In x Ga 1-x6 As 1-y2 P y2 , where 0≤x6≤1, 0≤y2≤1; InGaAsN represents In x8 Ga 1- x8 As 1-y3 N y3 , where 0≤x8≤1, 0≤y3≤1; AlGaAsP represents Al x9 Ga 1-x9 As 1-y4 P y4 , where 0≤x9≤1, 0≤y4≤1; InGaAs represents In x10 Ga 1-x10 As, where 0≤x10≤1. According to the material of the active layer 7033, when the materials of the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 are AlGaAs series, the active layer 7033 can emit infrared light with a peak wavelength between 700nm and 1700nm. When the materials of the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 are AlGaInP series, the active layer 7033 can emit orange-red light with a peak wavelength between 610nm and 700nm, or green-yellow light with a peak wavelength between 570nm and 610nm, or green light with a peak wavelength between 530nm and 570nm. When the materials of the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 are InGaN series, the active layer 7033 can emit blue light, deep blue light with a peak wavelength between 400nm and 490nm, or green light with a peak wavelength between 490nm and 550nm. When the materials of the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 are AlGaN series, the active layer 7033 can emit ultraviolet light with a peak wavelength between 250nm and 400nm.
[0691] In this embodiment, the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 include a DBR structure, so that the light emitted by the active layer 7033 can be reflected back and forth between the two DBR structures to form coherent light, and then the coherent light is emitted from the direction of the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 to form laser light L7.
[0692] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the insulating layer 7036 is located between the back conductive structure 7032 and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035. In one embodiment, the material of the insulating layer 7036 includes silicon oxide.
[0693] In this embodiment, the contact resistance between the back conductive structure 7032 and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 is less than 10 -4 Ωcm 2 , and an ohmic contact is formed between the back conductive structure 7032 and the second semiconductor layer 7035. The formation mechanism of the ohmic contact is that the metal work function must be smaller than the semiconductor work function, so that electrons from the semiconductor to the metal and from the metal to the semiconductor can easily jump over this energy level, and the current can be conducted in both directions. For example, the metal component of the conductive electrode 7032D of the back conductive structure 7032 is mainly titanium aluminum alloy, because titanium can form titanium nitride with the III-V compound (such as aluminum gallium nitride) of the second semiconductor layer 7035, so that nitrogen atoms on the surface become an n-type doped surface, and a good ohmic contact is formed after high temperature annealing, but it is not limited to this.
[0694] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the first-type semiconductor layer 7031 is connected to the positive conductive structure 7030, the positive conductive structure 7030 is connected to the conductive electrode 7032C through the second channel 7320, the conductive electrode 7032D is separated from the conductive electrode 7032C to avoid short circuit, and the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 is connected to the conductive electrode 7032D. In order to prevent the conductive medium filled in the second channel 7320 from contacting with the second-type semiconductor layer 7035 of the laser unit 7003 to form a short circuit, the laser unit 7003 also includes an insulating layer 7340 located on the inner wall of the second channel 7320. Through the above conductive structure, the laser unit 7003 receives external driving voltage / current and generates laser light L7. The positive conductive structure 7030 is located on the light-emitting side 7003S of the laser unit 7003 and is connected to the bonding layer 7002. Therefore, the laser light L7 emitted by the laser unit 7003 will be output to the outside through the bonding layer 7002 and the transparent base layer 7001. It should be noted that the transparent base layer 7001 is transparent to the laser light L7 of the laser unit 7003. Therefore, the objects under the transparent base layer 7001 do not need to be clearly seen by the naked eye, and the light can be UV light, visible light or infrared light, but the present invention is not limited to this.
[0695] In one or more embodiments, when the time-of-flight ranging module with the semiconductor light-emitting element 7000 is applied to a living object (such as a human face or human eye), since the coherent light emitted by the semiconductor light-emitting element 7000 has a higher energy, a corresponding optical element (such as a transparent substrate) is required to process the coherent light and output a laser light L7 of appropriate intensity. In order to effectively monitor whether the semiconductor light-emitting element 7000 is damaged and prevent the laser light L7 that has not been optically processed by the transparent substrate 7001 from leaking and directly hitting the human eye, the semiconductor light-emitting element 7000 of this embodiment has an eye safety monitoring circuit that can monitor abnormal damage of the light-emitting side 7003S of the laser unit 7003 in real time. The following examples illustrate the working principles of the semiconductor light-emitting element 7000 of some embodiments.
[0696] Please continue to refer to this example. Figure 7 As shown, in addition to the semiconductor structures required for emitting laser light, the laser unit 7003 further includes a back conductive structure 7032. The back conductive structure 7032 includes a plurality of detection electrodes 7032A and 7032B, and the back conductive structure 7032 and the front conductive structure 7030 are arranged on both sides of the laser unit 7003 opposite to each other. A plurality of first channels 7034 extend from the back conductive structure 7032 and penetrate the front conductive structure 7030 and the adhesive layer 7002, and connect to the conductive layer 7010. In other words, in this embodiment, the two ends of the first channel 7034 are respectively connected to the plurality of detection electrodes 7032A, 7032B and the conductive layer 7010. In some embodiments, the plurality of detection electrodes 7032A and 7032B separated from each other are connected to the two ends of the conductive layer 7010 through the first channel 7034. Therefore, the plurality of detection electrodes 7032A and 7032B are connected to a control circuit externally, and the resistance value change of the conductive layer 7010 can be monitored in real time. When the semiconductor light-emitting element 7000 is damaged by external impact, especially when the light-emitting side 7003S is damaged, the conductive layer 7010 will also be damaged, thereby increasing the resistance value, or even causing a circuit breakage due to damage. Therefore, the control circuit decides whether to cut off the power supply of the laser unit 7003 through the monitoring circuit according to the change in the resistance value of the conductive layer 7010, so as to prevent the laser light L7 emitted by the laser unit 7003 from leaking through the damaged gap of the transparent base layer 7001 and directly irradiating the human eye, thereby achieving the effect of real-time monitoring of abnormal conditions.
[0697] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, in order to prevent the conductive medium filled in the first channel 7034 from contacting the positive conductive structure 7030, the first type semiconductor layer 7031 or the second type semiconductor layer 7035 of the laser unit 7003 and forming a short circuit, the laser unit 7003 further includes an insulating layer 7340 located between the inner wall of the laser unit 7003 and the first channel 7034.
[0698] In some embodiments, the back conductive structure 7032 includes a plurality of detection electrodes 7032A and 7032B and a plurality of conductive electrodes 7032C and 7032D that are separated from each other and coplanar.

[0701] A plurality of columnar structures P8 may be arranged regularly (regular arrangement) or irregularly (random arrangement) on the second semiconductor structure 8206. The so-called regular arrangement means that the plurality of columnar structures P8 have a specific spatial relationship and are arranged in a fixed and repetitive manner.

Each columnar structure P8 includes an upper surface P81 facing the transparent base layer 8010 and a side surface P82 connecting the upper surface P81 and the second semiconductor structure 8206.

For the sake of simplicity in the illustration, Fig. 8A Only five columnar structures P8 are used as an example. However, in actual VCSEL products, the number of columnar structures P8 can be adjusted according to the current and power requirements of the application, for example, 100 to 1000, but not limited thereto.

In addition, the second semiconductor structure 8206 has a first side S81 and a second side S82 relative to the first side S81. The first metal connection layer 8034 has a first protrusion 8341a extending beyond the first side S81 and a second protrusion 8341b extending beyond the second side S82. The first protrusion 8341a and the second protrusion 8341b can be used for subsequent electrical connection, and the detailed structure and electrical connection method will be described in detail below.

The second insulating layer 8060 has two side portions 8601, and four opening portions (a first opening portion 8602a, a second opening portion 8602b, a third opening portion 8602c, and a fourth opening portion 8602d) further pass through the second insulating layer 8060. The side portion 8601 covers the first side edge S81 and the second side edge S82 of the second semiconductor structure 8206. The first opening 8602a further penetrates the first insulating layer 8032 to expose the first protrusion 8341a of the first metal connection layer 8034, and the second opening 8602b further penetrates the first insulating layer 8032 to expose the second protrusion 8341b of the first metal connection layer 8034. The second insulating layer 8060 also has a fifth opening 8603 to expose the second metal connection layer 8050. The semiconductor light emitting element 8000 of the present invention includes a first electrode 8702 and a second electrode 8704, which are located on the same side of the transparent base layer 8010 and are physically separated from each other.
[0705] In this embodiment, if FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C As shown, the semiconductor light emitting element 8000 is a flip-chip laser element. The semiconductor light emitting element 8000 can be subsequently bonded to an external carrier (such as a printed circuit board or a driver chip) by a flip-chip bonding process using solder. The first electrode 8702 is connected to the first metal connection layer 8034 through the first opening 8602a to the fourth opening 8602d, respectively, and is electrically connected to the first semiconductor structure 8202 through the first protrusion 8341a and the second protrusion 8341b of the first metal connection layer 8034. In addition, the first electrode 8702 covers the side of the second insulating layer 8060 and extends to cover the second metal connection layer 8050. The second insulating layer 8060 is located between the first electrode 8702 and the second metal connection layer 8050 to avoid forming a short circuit path. The second electrode 8704 is connected to the second metal connection layer 8050 through the fifth opening 8603, thereby making the second electrode 8704 electrically connected to the second semiconductor structure 8206.
[0706] In this embodiment, if FIG. 8A to FIG. 8CAs shown, the semiconductor light emitting device 8000 of the present invention may further include a first pad structure 8902 and a second pad structure 8904, which are respectively located on the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704. The semiconductor light emitting device 8000 of the present invention further includes a third insulating layer 8080 covering the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704.

In addition, there is a spacing G8 between the first pad structure 8902 and the second pad structure 8904 ranging from 10 μm to 200 μm. In this embodiment, from the bottom view of the semiconductor light emitting device 8000, the shape of the first pad structure 8902 is different from the shape of the second pad structure 8904 for electrical identification.
[0707] In this embodiment, if FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C As shown, the semiconductor light emitting device 8000 of the present invention may selectively include an anti-reflection structure 8101 located on the transparent substrate 8010 and away from the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704. The anti-reflection structure 8101 can be used to reduce the reflection of the light emitted by the semiconductor light emitting device 8000 at the interface between the transparent substrate 8010 and the air, so as to avoid the reduction of the light emitting efficiency of the semiconductor light emitting device 8000 or the generation of unexpected light shapes.
[0708] In this embodiment, if FIG. 8A to FIG. 8CAs shown, the first semiconductor structure 8202 and the second semiconductor structure 8206 include a plurality of layers with different refractive indices that are stacked alternately and periodically (for example, AlGaAs layers with high aluminum content and AlGaAs layers with low aluminum content are stacked alternately and periodically) to form a DBR structure, so that the light emitted by the active structure 8204 can be reflected back and forth between the two DBR structures to form coherent light. The reflectivity of the first semiconductor structure 8202 is lower than the reflectivity of the second semiconductor structure 8206, thereby causing the coherent light to be emitted in the direction of the transparent base layer 8010. The materials of the first semiconductor structure 8202, the second semiconductor structure 8206 and the active structure 8204 include III-V compound semiconductors, such as AlGaInAs series, AlGaInP series, AlInGaN series, AlAsSb series, InGaAsP series, InGaAsN series and AlGaAsP series, such as AlGaInP, GaAs, InGaAs, AlGaAs, GaAsP, GaP, InGaP, AlInP, GaN, InGaN or AlGaN compounds. In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the chemical formula includes "stoichiometric compounds" and "non-stoichiometric compounds", wherein "stoichiometric compounds" are, for example, compounds in which the total element content of group III elements is the same as the total element content of group V elements, whereas "non-stoichiometric compounds" are, for example, compounds in which the total element content of group III elements is different from the total element content of group V elements. For example, a chemical formula of the AlGaInAs series means that it contains group III elements aluminum (Al) and / or gallium (Ga) and / or indium (In), and group V elements arsenic (As), wherein the total element content of group III elements (aluminum and / or gallium and / or indium) may be the same as or different from the total element content of group V elements (arsenic). In addition, if the compounds represented by the chemical formula are stoichiometric compounds, the AlGaInAs series means (Al y1 Ga (1-y1) ) 1-x1 In x1 As, where 0≤x1≤1, 0≤y1≤1; AlGaInP series represents (Al y2 Ga (1-y2) ) 1- x2 In x2 P, where 0≤x2≤1, 0≤y2≤1; AlInGaN series represents (Al y3 Ga (1-y3) ) 1-x3 In x3 N, where 0≤x3≤1, 0≤y3≤1; AlAsSb series represents AlAs x4 Sb (1-x4), where 0≤x4≤1; InGaAsP series represents In x5 Ga 1-x5 As 1-y4 P y4 , where 0≤x5≤1, 0≤y4≤1; InGaAsN series represents In x6 Ga 1-x6 As 1-y5 N y5 , where 0≤x6≤1, 0≤y5≤1; AlGaAsP series represents Al x7 Ga 1-x7 As 1-y6 P y6 , where 0≤x7≤1, 0≤y6≤1.

In this embodiment, the peak wavelength of the active structure 8204 is infrared light between 750nm and 1200nm.
[0710] The material of the current limiting layer 8205 can be the above-mentioned III-V semiconductor material. In this embodiment, FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C As shown, the material of the current limiting layer 8205 is AlGaAs, and the active structure 8204, the first semiconductor structure 8202 and the second semiconductor structure 8206 are made of a material containing aluminum. The aluminum content of the current limiting layer 8205 is greater than the aluminum content of the active structure 8204, the first semiconductor structure 8202 and the second semiconductor structure 8206. For example, the aluminum content of the current limiting layer 8205 is greater than 97%. In this embodiment, the oxygen content of the current limiting region 8205B of the current limiting layer 8205 is greater than the oxygen content of the current conducting region 8205A, so that the current limiting region 8205B has a lower conductivity than the current conducting region 8205A. The subsequent layer 8040 is a material having a high transmittance to the light emitted by the active structure 8204, such as a transmittance greater than 80%. The material of the subsequent layer 8040 is an insulating material, such as benzocyclobutene resin (BCB), epoxy resin, polyimide, spin-on glass (SOG), silicone or octafluorocyclobutane (PFCB).
[0711] In this embodiment, if FIG. 8A to FIG. 8C As shown, the first insulating layer 8032, the second insulating layer 8060 and the third insulating layer 8080 are made of non-conductive materials. The non-conductive materials include organic materials or inorganic materials. Organic materials include Su8, benzocyclobutene (BCB), perfluorocyclobutane (PFCB), epoxy resin, acrylic resin (Acrylic Resin), cyclic olefin copolymer (cyclic olefin copolymer, COC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polycarbonate (PC), polyetherimide (Polyetherimide) or fluorocarbon polymer (FluorocarbonPolymer). Inorganic materials include silicone or glass, aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), silicon nitride (SiN x ), silicon oxide (SiO x ), titanium oxide (TiO x ), or magnesium fluoride (MgF x In one embodiment, the first insulating layer 8032, the second insulating layer 8060 and / or the third insulating layer 8080 include one or more layers (e.g., a Bragg reflector (DBR) structure formed by alternately stacking two sub-layers, such as SiO x Sublayer and TiO x sub-layer).
[0712] In this embodiment, if FIG. 8A to FIG. 8CAs shown, the materials of the first metal connection layer 8034 and the second metal connection layer 8050 may include metals, such as aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), chromium (Cr), platinum (Pt), nickel (Ni), germanium (Ge), beryllium (Be), gold (Au), titanium (Ti), tungsten (W) or zinc (Zn). The materials of the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704 may be metal materials, such as gold (Au), tin (Sn), titanium (Ti) or their alloys. In this embodiment, the first electrode 8702 may be a multi-layer electrode structure, for example, it may include a titanium (Ti) layer and a gold (Au) layer in the direction away from the transparent base layer 8010. The second electrode 8704 has the same material and structural composition as the first electrode 8702. The materials of the first pad structure 8902 and the second pad structure 8904 are metal materials, such as gold (Au), tin (Sn), titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), platinum (Pt) or their alloys. The material of the first electrode 8702 is different from that of the first pad structure 8902, and the material of the second electrode 8704 is different from that of the second pad structure 8904. For example, the first pad structure 8902 and the second pad structure 8904 contain an element, while the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704 do not contain the element, so as to prevent the external (tin-containing) solder from damaging the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704 and causing electrical failure during die bonding or high current operation, thereby further improving the reliability of the semiconductor light emitting device 8000 of the present invention. The above-mentioned element can be used to prevent the solder from diffusing into the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704, and the element is, for example, nickel (Ni) and / or platinum (Pt). In detail, the first pad structure 8902 and the second pad structure 8904 may be multi-layered, respectively, and include an intermediate layer 8902A, an intermediate layer 8904A, and a bonding layer 8902B, and a bonding layer 8904B in order away from the transparent base layer 8010. The materials of the intermediate layers 8902A and 8904A are different from the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704, thereby preventing solder (e.g., tin or gold-tin alloy (AuSn)) from diffusing into the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704. Therefore, the materials of the intermediate layers 8902A and 8904A preferably include metal elements other than gold (Au), tin (Sn) and copper (Cu), such as nickel (Ni) and / or platinum (Pt). The materials of the bonding layers 8902B and 8904B include metal materials with high ductility, such as gold (Au). In this embodiment, the materials of the intermediate layers 8902A and 8904A are platinum (Pt) and nickel (Ni) stacked in sequence in the direction away from the transparent base layer 8010, and the materials of the bonding layers 8902B and 8904B are gold (Au). In other words, in the direction away from the transparent base layer 8010, the first pad structure 8902 and the second pad structure 8904 include a nickel layer, a platinum layer and a gold layer.
[0713] See also Fig. 8A and Figure 8B , the transparent base layer 8010 has a middle area and a peripheral area surrounding the middle area. The second insulating layer 8060 has a plurality of openings (e.g., a first opening 8602a, a second opening 8602b, a third opening 8602c, and a fourth opening 8602d) dispersedly arranged in the peripheral area of the transparent base layer 8010. In addition, there are four spacings between the four openings. More specifically, in this embodiment, the first opening 8602a and the fourth opening 8602d are separated by a first spacing G81, the first opening 8602a and the second opening 8602b are separated by a second spacing G82, the second opening 8602b and the third opening 8602c are separated by a third spacing G83, and the third opening 8602c and the fourth opening 8602d are separated by a fourth spacing G84.
[0714] In addition, if Figure 8C As shown, in this embodiment, the first metal connection layer 8034 is formed with a plurality of marking structures 8344A-8344D, which are convenient for machine identification to facilitate the subsequent packaging manufacturing process. The marking structures 8344B and 8344D are relatively connected and define the connection line L81, and the marking structures 8344A and 8344C are relatively connected and define the connection line L82. The connection line L81 and the connection line L82 are interlaced at the center position O8. Figure 8B and Figure 8C , the marking structure 8344A corresponds to the first spacing G81, the marking structure 8344B corresponds to the second spacing G82, the marking structure 8344C corresponds to the third spacing G83, and the marking structure 8344D corresponds to the fourth spacing G84. Special instructions are required, Figure 8B and Figure 8C The dotted lines indicate that the structure cannot be directly observed from the bottom view / top view and only the outline of the dotted lines can be seen.
[0715] In this embodiment, the second semiconductor structure 8206 may be located on the middle area of the transparent base layer 8010. In one embodiment, the distance from any side of the second semiconductor structure 8206 to a border of the adjacent transparent base layer 8010 is substantially equal, so that the first pad structure 8902 and the second pad structure 8904 (or the first electrode 8702 and the second electrode 8704) can be symmetrical to the connection line L81, which is beneficial to the structural design of the subsequent packaging process and increases the effective area for connecting to the external circuit. Figure 8BAs shown, from the direction of the second semiconductor structure 8206 of the semiconductor light emitting device 8000 toward the active structure 8204, the transparent base layer 8010 has a first boundary C81 adjacent to the first side S81 and a second boundary C82 opposite to the first boundary C81 and adjacent to the second side S82, the first boundary C81 and the second boundary C82 corresponding to each other and each disposed at the side of the transparent base layer 8010. The difference between the first distance D81 between the first side S81 and the first boundary C81 and the second distance D82 between the second side S82 and the second boundary C82 is less than 30% of the first distance D81; that is, the difference between the first distance D81 and the second distance D82 is 0≤(D81-D82) / D81<30%, in another embodiment, 0≤(D81-D82) / D81<20%; preferably, 0≤(D81-D82) / D81<15%. In another embodiment, 1%<(D81-D82) / D81<10%. In this embodiment, the first distance D81 is equal to the second distance D82.

Alternatively, in another embodiment, the substrate 9110 does not include a dopant or the substrate 9110 is an undoped substrate layer. The first semiconductor structure 9121 is a semiconductor material that does not include a dopant, which is used to reduce the problem of light absorption by the dopant. The second semiconductor structure 9122, the intermediate layer 9123, the third semiconductor structure 9124 and the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 are semiconductor materials that include a dopant. The second semiconductor structure 9122, the intermediate layer 9123 and the third semiconductor structure 9124 have the same conductivity type, and the third semiconductor structure 9124 (or the second semiconductor structure 9122 or the intermediate layer 9123) and the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 have different conductivity types. In this embodiment, the conductivity type of the second semiconductor structure 9122, the intermediate layer 9123 and the third semiconductor structure 9124 is p-type, and the conductivity type of the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 is n-type. In another embodiment, the conductivity type of the second semiconductor structure 9122, the intermediate layer 9123 and the third semiconductor structure 9124 is n-type, and the conductivity type of the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 is p-type. The first electrode structure 9132 and the second electrode structure 9134 are located on the fourth semiconductor structure 9127. The dopant may include beryllium, magnesium, zinc, carbon, silicon or antimony, or a combination of the above elements.
[0719] See again Fig. 9 In the embodiment shown, the third semiconductor structure 9124 or the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 optionally includes a current limiting layer 9125. Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the current limiting layer 9125 is formed in the third semiconductor structure 9124 or the fourth semiconductor structure 9127. The current limiting layer 9125 includes a current limiting region 9125B and a current conduction region 9125A defined by the current limiting region 9125B.
[0720] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9As shown, the semiconductor light emitting device 9000 further includes a recessed structure 9140 and a protective layer 9150. The recessed structure 9140 is formed in the epitaxial stack 9120. In detail, in the present embodiment, the recessed structure 9140 is formed in the fourth semiconductor structure 9127, the active structure 9126 and the third semiconductor structure 9124. In other words, in the present embodiment, the recessed structure 9140 penetrates the fourth semiconductor structure 9127, the active structure 9126 and the third semiconductor structure 9124 to expose the intermediate layer 9123.

The first portion 9132A fills the recessed structure 9140 and contacts the intermediate layer 9123, and is electrically connected to the intermediate layer 9123. The second portion 9132B is extended from the first portion 9132A and is located on the protection layer 9150. The second electrode structure 9134 is disposed on the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 and is electrically connected to the fourth semiconductor structure 9127.
[0721] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the semiconductor light emitting element 9000 optionally further includes an optical element 9160, covering the first surface 9110A of the substrate 9110. For example, the optical element 9160 may be an anti-reflection element, which is used to further reduce the reflection of the light emitted by the semiconductor light emitting element 9000 at the interface between the substrate 9110 and the air, so as to avoid the reduction of the light emitting efficiency of the semiconductor light emitting element 9000 or to prevent the interference between the interface reflected light and the light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element 9000.

The reflectivity of the first semiconductor structure 9121, the second semiconductor structure 9122 and the third semiconductor structure 9124 is lower than the reflectivity of the fourth semiconductor structure 9127, thereby allowing the coherent light to be emitted toward the substrate 9110. The materials of the first semiconductor structure 9121, the second semiconductor structure 9122, the third semiconductor structure 9124, the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 and the active structure 9126 include group III and V compound semiconductors, such as AlGaInAs series, AlGaInP series, AlInGaN series, AlAsSb series, InGaAsP series, InGaAsN series, AlGaAsP series, etc., such as AlGaInP, GaAs, InGaAs, AlGaAs, GaAsP, GaP, InGaP, AlInP, GaN, InGaN, AlGaN, etc. In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the chemical formula includes "compounds that meet stoichiometric requirements" and "compounds that do not meet stoichiometric requirements", wherein "compounds that meet stoichiometric requirements" are, for example, the total element content of group III elements is the same as the total element content of group V elements, whereas "compounds that do not meet stoichiometric requirements" are, for example, the total element content of group III elements is different from the total element content of group V elements. For example, the chemical formula AlGaInAs series means that it contains the group III elements aluminum (Al) and / or gallium (Ga) and / or indium (In), and the group V element arsenic (As), wherein the total element content of the group III elements (aluminum and / or gallium and / or indium) can be the same as or different from the total element content of the group V element (arsenic). In addition, if the compounds represented by the chemical formula are stoichiometric compounds, the AlGaInAs series means (Al y1 Ga (1-y1) ) 1-x1 In x1 As, where 0≤x1≤1, 0≤y1≤1; AlGaInP series represents (Al y2 Ga (1-y2) ) 1-x2 In x2 P, where 0≤x2≤1, 0≤y2≤1; AlInGaN series represents (Al y3 Ga (1-y3) ) 1-x3 In x3N, where 0≤x3≤1, 0≤y3≤1; AlAsSb series represents AlAs x4 Sb (1-x4) , where 0≤x4≤1; InGaAsP series represents In x5 Ga 1-x5 As 1-y4 P y4 , where 0≤x5≤1, 0≤y4≤1; InGaAsN series represents In x6 Ga 1-x6 As 1-y5 N y5 , where 0≤x6≤1, 0≤y5≤1; AlGaAsP series represents Al x7 Ga 1-x7 As 1-y6 P y6 , where 0≤x7≤1, 0≤y6≤1.

In this embodiment, the peak wavelength of the active structure 9126 is infrared light between 750nm and 2000nm.
[0724] The current limiting layer 9125 can be formed by an oxidation process or an ion implantation process. In the present embodiment, when the first semiconductor structure 9121, the second semiconductor structure 9122, the third semiconductor structure 9124, the active structure 9126 and the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 include multiple film layers and all include aluminum, the aluminum content of one or more layers in the third semiconductor structure 9124 can be designed to be greater than 97% (defined as the current limiting layer 9125) and greater than the aluminum content of the active structure 9126, other film layers of the third semiconductor structure 9124, the second semiconductor structure 9122, the first semiconductor structure 9121 and the fourth semiconductor structure 9127. Thus, after the oxidation process, the layer or portions of the layers with an aluminum content greater than 97% will be oxidized to form a current limiting region 9125B (e.g., aluminum oxide), and the unoxidized portion will be the current conduction region 9125A.

[0726] In this embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, the material of the intermediate layer 9123 is different from the first semiconductor structure 9121, the second semiconductor structure 9122 and the third semiconductor structure 9124. The intermediate layer 9123 can be a single layer or a multi-layer and serves as an etching stop layer to control the depth of the recessed structure 9140. The intermediate layer 9123 includes a semiconductor material, such as GaAs or InGaP, and has a thickness that is an odd multiple of 1 / 4n of the peak wavelength of the light emitted by the active structure 9126, where n is the refractive index.

In one embodiment, the intermediate layer 9123 may reduce lateral current diffusion, therefore, the second semiconductor structure 9122 is provided as a current diffusion layer in addition to the consideration of optical properties. When the intermediate layer 9123 is multi-layered (for example, comprising two layers, and the first layer is InGaP and the second layer is GaAs), the total thickness of the multi-layers is between 0.05 μm and 0.5 μm.
[0727] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, when the first semiconductor structure 9121, the second semiconductor structure 9122, and the third semiconductor structure 9124 are all distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs), the number of pairs of film layers periodically stacked alternately in the first semiconductor structure 9121 may be greater than, equal to, or less than that of the second semiconductor structure 9122, and / or the number of pairs of film layers periodically stacked alternately in the first semiconductor structure 9121 may be greater than, equal to, or less than that of the third semiconductor structure 9124. In one embodiment, the number of pairs of film layers of the second semiconductor structure 9122 is less than that of the third semiconductor structure 9124.

For example, the sum of the number of film layer pairs of the first semiconductor structure 9121, the second semiconductor structure 9122 and the third semiconductor structure 9124 is 15 to 25 pairs, and the number of film layer pairs of the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 is 30 to 60 pairs.
[0729] In one embodiment, if Fig. 9 As shown, due to the manufacturing process, the P-type semiconductor layer has a lower doping concentration than the N-type semiconductor layer, and in design, the sum of the film layer logarithms of the second semiconductor structure 9122 and the third semiconductor structure 9124 is less than the film layer logarithm of the fourth semiconductor structure 9127. Therefore, the conductive type of the first semiconductor structure 9121 and the third semiconductor structure 9124 can be designed to be P-type, and the conductive type of the fourth semiconductor structure 9127 is n-type, thereby reducing the series resistance of the overall semiconductor light-emitting element 9000 and improving the luminous efficiency.

Fig.11 As shown, the semiconductor light emitting element 11-000 of this embodiment further includes an insulating layer 11-090, which covers the side and part of the upper surface of each epitaxial columnar structure P111, P112, and the insulating layer 11-090 is transparent to the light emitted from each epitaxial columnar structure P111, P112. Fig.11 As shown, the semiconductor light emitting element 11-000 of this embodiment further includes an insulating layer 11-084, and the insulating layer 11-084 covers the sides and a portion of the surface of the electrode structure 11-770 and the electrode structure 11-780, and covers the sides and a portion of the surface of the platform structure 11-726 and the platform structure 11-736. Fig.11 As shown, the semiconductor light emitting element 11-000 of this embodiment has an electrode connection layer 11-242 and an electrode connection layer 11-342 respectively located on the side of the platform structure 11-726 and the platform structure 11-736 away from the base layer 11-010, and the electrode connection layer 11-242 and the electrode connection layer 11-342 are respectively electrically connected to the epitaxial structure 11-720 and the epitaxial structure 11-730.
[0743] like Fig.11 In the embodiment shown, the electrode structure 11-770 and the electrode structure 11-780 in the semiconductor light emitting element 11-000 are located outside the epitaxial structure 11-720 and the epitaxial structure 11-730; that is, in this embodiment, the electrode structure 11-770 is located on the side of the epitaxial structure 11-720 close to the side 11-010A of the base layer 11-010, and the electrode structure 11-780 is located on the side of the epitaxial structure 11-730 close to the side 11-010B of the base layer 11-010. In this embodiment, the electrode structure 11-770 and the electrode structure 11-780 are located on the outside of the electrode structure 11-750 and the electrode structure 11-760, respectively, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 In addition, each electrode structure 11-750, 11-760 includes an intermediate layer and an adhesive layer. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown, the semiconductor light emitting element 11-000 is a flip-chip laser element. Solder can be used to subsequently bond the semiconductor light emitting element 11-000 to an external carrier (such as a printed circuit board or a driver chip) using a flip-chip bonding process.
[0744] In such Fig.11 In the illustrated embodiment, the epitaxial columnar structures P111 and P112 have a width W111, and the platform structures 11-726 and the platform structures 11-736 have a width W112. In some embodiments, the width W111 is smaller than the width W112; in other words, in some embodiments, the platform structures 11-726 and the platform structures 11-736 are formed as high platforms with their outer sides protruding outside the epitaxial columnar structures P111 and P112, and form a two-stage high platform structure with the epitaxial columnar structures P111 and P112.
[0745] Or, if Fig.11 In the present embodiment shown, the width W112 of the platform structure 11-726 and the platform structure 11-736 of the semiconductor light-emitting element 11-000 is equal to or close to the width W111 of the epitaxial columnar structures P111 and P112, that is, the width W112 is equal to the width W111; in other words, in this embodiment, the platform structure 11-726 and the platform structure 11-736 and the epitaxial columnar structures P111 and P112 are formed as high platforms of the same section, so the epitaxial structures 11-720 and the epitaxial structures 11-730 do not have a two-section high platform structure.
[0746] exist Fig.11 In the illustrated embodiment, since the epitaxial structure 11-720 and the epitaxial structure 11-730 respectively form a high platform structure and the electrode structure 11-770 and the electrode structure 11-780 are respectively arranged on the outer sides of the epitaxial structure 11-720 and the epitaxial structure 11-730, the aspect ratio at the interval between the epitaxial structure 11-720 and the epitaxial structure 11-730 is higher than that of a general semiconductor light emitting element. Based on this, the present invention uses a low dielectric value (low-k) glue (for example, spin-on glass (SOG) glue) as the insulating material of the insulating layer 11-782 in the semiconductor light emitting element 11-000.
[0747] Therefore, the glue layer can not only easily fill the spacing area between the epitaxial structure 11-720 and the epitaxial structure 11-730, but also form a co-planarized surface 11-720B between the epitaxial structures 11-720, 11-730 and the insulating layer 11-782 therebetween, thereby flattening the entire device surface to facilitate the distribution of the metal layer and reduce the resistance. Moreover, the glue layer can also serve as a buffer layer to protect the chip in the subsequent die attach manufacturing process. In addition, due to the application of the glue layer, the thickness of the semiconductor light-emitting element 11-000 can be increased, and the overall capacitance value of the semiconductor light-emitting element 11-000 can be further reduced.

[0750] According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, when forming the light-emitting holes of the semiconductor light-emitting element, the structural design of the light-emitting area can be adjusted to change the positions and number of the light-emitting holes, so as to further increase the light-emitting hole density in the light-emitting area and the flexibility of addressing control, wherein the light-emitting holes are formed by, for example, utilizing a wet oxidation manufacturing process.
[0751] like Fig. 12A In the illustrated embodiment, the semiconductor light emitting element 12-000 includes a plurality of light emitting holes 12-825A, for example, Fig. 12B and Fig. 12C The openings 12-825A1, 12-825A2, 12-825A3, and 12-825A4 shown in the figure are arranged in an array. Fig. 12AIn the top view shown, the multiple openings (light-emitting holes) 12-825A in the semiconductor light-emitting element 12-000 are arranged in a closest packing manner. For example, the multiple light-emitting holes 12-825A are arranged in a hexagonal closest packing manner, that is, six adjacent light-emitting holes 12-825A are formed around each light-emitting hole 12-825A, and each light-emitting hole 12-825A is surrounded by six recessed structures 12-840, wherein the recessed structures 12-840 are used for an oxidation manufacturing process to form a current limiting region in the current limiting layer 12-825 (wherein the current limiting layer 12-825 includes a current limiting layer 12-8251, a current limiting layer 12-8252, a current limiting layer 12-8253, and a current limiting layer 12-8254) in the semiconductor light-emitting element 12-000, but the present invention is not limited to this. In this way, six recess structures 12-840 are evenly distributed (i.e., arranged 60 degrees apart around) in the epitaxial structure of each light-emitting hole. Therefore, by implementing a wet oxidation process through the six recess structures 12-840, a roughly circular opening (i.e., the light-emitting hole of the semiconductor light-emitting element) can be formed in the epitaxial structure of the semiconductor light-emitting element. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, each recess structure is shared by its adjacent light-emitting holes, so that the multiple light-emitting holes in the semiconductor light-emitting element of the present invention can be arranged in the densest packing manner, thereby increasing the layout space of the light-emitting hole structure in the semiconductor light-emitting element.
[0752] Fig. 12B As shown, in Fig. 12A In the cross section shown by the line segment 12B-12B', there is no concave structure between the openings (i.e., light-emitting holes) 12-825A1 and 12-825A2, that is, the current limiting regions in the current limiting layers 12-8252 and 12-8251 are respectively formed by the outer wall surfaces of the concave structures 12-850A and 12-850B on both sides of the same platform structure 12-826 through a wet oxidation process, so that the openings (i.e., light-emitting holes) 12-825A1 and 12-825A2 are located on the same platform structure 12-826. For example Fig. 12C As shown, in Fig. 12AIn the cross-section shown by the line segment 12C-12C', in addition to the recessed structures 12-850C and 12-850D on the outside, two recessed structures 12-840 are formed between the opening 12-825A3 and the adjacent opening 12-825A4, that is, the outer wall surface of the recessed structure 12-850C and the side wall surface of the recessed structure 12-840 are processed by a wet oxidation process to form a current limiting region in the current limiting layer 12-8253 to define the opening 12-825A3; the side wall surface of the recessed structure 12-840 and the outer wall surface of the recessed structure 12-850D are processed by a wet oxidation process to form a current limiting layer 12-8254 to define the opening 12-825A4. In one embodiment, two adjacent openings may share a concave structure therebetween, or there may be only one concave structure between two adjacent openings, so as to further reduce the distance between the adjacent openings and make the light-emitting holes of the semiconductor light-emitting element more closely arranged.

[0796] In some embodiments, a semiconductor laser is provided. The gain spectrum of the active structure of the semiconductor laser is expanded by adjusting the element composition ratio, material thickness, and material type of the quantum well layer of the active structure. Accordingly, even when the ambient temperature is lowered (e.g., lowered to -40°C) or raised (e.g., raised to 80°C), the peak position of the resonance wavelength of the emitted light of the semiconductor laser can still correspond to the relative peak of the gain spectrum of its active structure.
[0797] FIG. 29A to FIG. 29C as well as FIG. 29D to FIG. 29F are diagrams respectively showing the relationship between the gain spectrum of the active structure and the resonance wavelength of the emitted light of the semiconductor laser at different temperatures for semiconductor lasers known to the inventor and semiconductor lasers according to some embodiments of the present invention; FIG. 29A to FIG. 29C The semiconductor laser known to the inventors is respectively Fig.29A )、T2( Fig.29B ) and T3( Fig.29C) is a graph showing the relationship between the gain spectrum of the active structure and the resonance wavelength of the emitted light of the semiconductor laser at three different temperatures; and FIG. 29D to FIG. 29F are respectively the semiconductor lasers according to some embodiments of the present invention at T1( Fig.29D )、T2( Fig.29E ) and T3( Fig.29F ) is a graph showing the relationship between the gain spectrum of the active structure and the resonant wavelength of the emitted light of the semiconductor laser at three different temperatures.
[0798] Depend on FIG. 29A to FIG. 29C It can be known that, for the semiconductor laser known to the inventor, when operating at T2, the peak position of the resonant wavelength of the emitted light of the semiconductor laser basically corresponds to the relative peak of the gain spectrum of its active structure; however, since temperature changes will cause changes in the energy level of the active structure and cause the distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) and the optical cavity (Cavity) or the active structure of the semiconductor laser to change their optical thickness due to thermal expansion and contraction, and the degree of influence of temperature changes on the energy level change of the active structure and the change in the optical thickness of the DBR and the optical cavity (Cavity) or the active structure is different, when the temperature changes (for example, decreases to T1 or increases to T3), the peak position of the resonant wavelength of the emitted light of the semiconductor laser will no longer correspond to the relative peak of the gain spectrum of its active structure, thereby causing the maximum light extraction efficiency of the semiconductor laser to deteriorate.
[0799] See also FIG. 29D to FIG. 29F On the other hand, for the semiconductor laser according to some embodiments of the present invention, when operating at T2, the peak position of the resonant wavelength of the emission light of the semiconductor laser also basically corresponds to the relative peak of the gain spectrum of its active structure; and when the temperature changes (for example, decreases to T1 or increases to T3), the gain spectrum of the active structure of the semiconductor laser is expanded by adjusting the material composition ratio, material thickness and material type of the quantum well layer of the active structure, so that the peak position of the resonant wavelength of the emission light of the semiconductor laser can still correspond to the relative peak of the gain spectrum of its active structure.

[0801] In some embodiments, the active structure 30-300 of the semiconductor laser 30-000 has at least two or more quantum well layers that can emit light of different wavelengths (for example, but not limited to Fig.30 The first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 are shown, wherein the emission spectrum emitted by the semiconductor laser 30-000 includes at least two or more peaks, wherein the peak intensities of different wavelengths are not necessarily the same.
[0802] In some embodiments, the first type semiconductor layer 30-100 and the second type semiconductor layer 30-200 may include a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) structure. In some embodiments, the Bragg reflector structure may be formed by alternately stacking two or more film layers with different refractive indices, such as AlAs / GaAs, AlGaAs / GaAs, AlGaAs / AlGaAs or InGaP / GaAs.
[0803] In some embodiments, there is also a barrier layer structure 30-390 (not shown) between the first type semiconductor layer 30-100 and the first quantum well layer 30-310 and between the second type semiconductor layer 30-200 and the second quantum well layer 30-320. In some embodiments, there may also be a barrier layer structure 30-390 between the first spacer layer 30-381 and the first quantum well layer 30-310 or between the second spacer layer 30-382 and the second quantum well layer 30-320.
[0804] In some embodiments, the difference between the emission wavelength of the second quantum well layer 30 - 320 and the emission wavelength of the first quantum well layer 30 - 310 ranges from 2 nanometers to 20 nanometers.
[0805] In some embodiments, the materials of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 include III-V compound semiconductors. For example, the III-V compound semiconductors may be binary compositions, such as InP, GaAs, InSb, GaN, GaSb, etc.; ternary compositions, such as InGaAs, InGaP, AlGaAs, InGaN, etc.; quaternary compositions, such as AlGaInP, InGaAsP, InGaAsN, etc.; quinary compositions, such as InGaAsSbN, AlInGaAsN, etc.
[0806] Furthermore, for the semiconductor laser 30-000 emitting red light, the materials of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 are selected from the group consisting of: Al S Ga T As W P X (where 0≤S≤1, 0≤T≤1, 0≤W≤1, 0≤X≤1) and Al S Ga T In V As W P X (where 0≤S≤1, 0≤T≤1, 0≤V≤1, 0≤W≤1, 0≤X≤1); For the semiconductor laser 30-000 emitting infrared light, the materials of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 are selected from the group consisting of: Al S Ga T As W P X (where 0≤S≤1, 0≤T≤1, 0≤W≤1, 0≤X≤1) and Ga T In V As W P X(where 0≤T≤1, 0≤V≤1, 0≤W≤1, 0≤X≤1); For the semiconductor laser 30-000 emitting near-infrared light, the materials of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 are selected from the group consisting of: Al S Ga T In V As W P X Sb Y N Z (where 0≤S≤1, 0≤T≤1, 0≤W≤1, 0≤X≤1, 0≤Y≤1, 0≤Z≤1).
[0807] In the embodiments of the present invention, if not otherwise specified, the chemical formula includes "compounds that meet stoichiometric standards" and "compounds that do not meet stoichiometric standards", wherein "compounds that meet stoichiometric standards" are, for example, compounds whose total element content of group III elements is the same as that of group V elements, whereas "compounds that do not meet stoichiometric standards" are, for example, compounds whose total element content of group III elements is different from that of group V elements. For example, a chemical formula of AlGaAs means that it includes group III elements aluminum (Al) and / or gallium (Ga), and group V elements arsenic (As), wherein the total element content of group III elements (aluminum and / or gallium) may be the same as or different from the total element content of group V elements (arsenic).
[0808] In some embodiments, the material types of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 may be different; in other words, the materials of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 may include different III-V compound semiconductors. For example, the first quantum well layer 30-310 includes InGaAs, and the second quantum well layer 30-320 includes InGaN.
[0809] In some embodiments, the material type of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 may be the same but the element composition ratio is different; in other words, the material of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 may include the same III-V compound semiconductor, but the element ratio of the III-V compound semiconductor of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 is different. For example, the first quantum well layer 30-310 includes In 0.3 Ga 0.7 As, and the second quantum well layer 30-320 contains In 0.4 Ga 0.6 As.
[0810] Therefore, according to some embodiments, by changing the material type or element composition ratio of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320, the emission wavelengths of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 can be different.
[0811] In some embodiments, the barrier layer structure 30-390 is made of GaAs, AlGaAs, GaAsP, AlInGaAs, and has a thickness ranging from 3 nm to 20 nm. In some embodiments, the spacer layer 30-380 and the barrier layer structure 30-390 may be made of the same material or different materials.
[0812] In some embodiments, by changing the thickness of the quantum well layer, the first quantum well layer 30 - 310 and the second quantum well layer 30 - 320 can also have different light emission wavelengths.
[0813] Specifically, in some embodiments, the thickness of the second quantum well layer 30-320 is ±5% of the thickness of the first quantum well layer 30-310. Taking the first quantum well layer 30-310 as an example, its thickness ranges from 60 angstroms to 80 angstroms. Further, assuming that the thickness of the first quantum well layer 30-310 is 60 angstroms, the thickness of the second quantum well layer 30-320 is 57 angstroms (60×(1-5%)) or 63 angstroms (60×(1+5%)), so that the emission wavelengths of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the second quantum well layer 30-320 are different (for example, the peak spacing between the emission wavelength of the first quantum well layer 30-310 and the emission wavelength of the second quantum well layer 30-320 can be 5-10 nanometers apart due to the thickness difference), thereby expanding the gain spectrum of the active structure 30-300 of the semiconductor laser 30-000.
[0814] See also Fig.30 In some embodiments, the active structure 30 - 300 has a single-layer first quantum well layer 30 - 310 and a single-layer second quantum well layer 30 - 320 .

The emission wavelength of the third quantum well layer 30-330 is greater than the emission wavelength of the second quantum well layer 30-320.
[0817] In some embodiments, the materials of the barrier layer structures 30-390 may be the same.

[0819] In some embodiments, the active structure 30-300 may include multiple first quantum well layers 30-310, multiple second quantum well layers 30-320 and multiple third quantum well layers 30-330; in addition, the number of first quantum well layers 30-310, second quantum well layers 30-320 and third quantum well layers 30-330 may be the same or different.

[0823] In some embodiments, there may also be a tunnel junction (TJ) between quantum well layers of different groups, and the tunnel junction is composed of a highly doped semiconductor layer (which may be highly doped with a group III compound or a group V compound). When current passes through the active structure 30-300, carriers (electrons or holes) move between quantum well layers of different groups, and the tunnel junction provides a channel so that carriers can cross the energy band barriers between quantum well layers of different groups, making it easier for carriers to diffuse throughout the structure, achieving more efficient carrier injection and radiation recombination. Thereby improving the efficiency and performance of the light-emitting element. In addition, the tunnel junction can also affect the operating voltage characteristics. By adjusting the doping concentration and material combination of the tunnel junction, the energy band gap between the quantum well layers can be changed, thereby affecting the light-emitting wavelength and spectral characteristics of the active structure 30-300.

[0825] In some embodiments, the thickness of the highly doped semiconductor layer is in a range from 5 nanometers to 20 nanometers.
[0826] In some embodiments, a semiconductor laser is provided. In the manufacturing process, a columnar structure of a specific size is first made to define the light-emitting hole, so that it is not necessary to use a relatively difficult-to-control wet oxygen manufacturing process to make an oxide layer, thereby reducing the spacing between the light-emitting holes of the semiconductor laser, thereby reducing the size of the entire semiconductor laser. Furthermore, because the wet oxygen manufacturing process is not required, the surface of the semiconductor laser can be flattened, so that the aperture of the light-emitting hole is uniform.
