The invention discloses a making method of an electrical absorption modulation tunneling injection type distributed feedback semiconductor laser, which comprises the following steps of: 1, growing an n-type indium phosphide buffer layer, a lower waveguide external limit layer, a lower waveguide internal limit layer, an indium phosphide tunneling barrier layer, a multiple quantum well active layer and an upper waveguide limit layer on an n-type indium phosphide substrate during the same epitaxy; 2, making a Bragg grating in a laser region, then epitaxially growing a p-type indium phosphide grating covering layer, an InGaAsP etching stopping layer, a p-type indium phosphide covering layer and a p+ InGaAs electrode contact layer largely; and 3, etching a ridge type optical waveguide on an epitaxial wafer, injecting with He ions to improve the resistance of an isolation region, and then passivating and flatting the surface and finally making a p-type and an n-type electrodes. The invention has the advantages of simple process and high reliability, eliminates the influence of hot electrons on the property of the laser, improves the characteristic temperature of the laser, and can realize a certain independent optimization on the laser and a modulator.
