Abstract
Provided here are: semiconductor layers comprised of an n-type cladding layer formed on a surface of an n-type GaAs substrate, active layers formed on surfaces of the n-type cladding layer, p-type cladding layers formed on surfaces of the active layers, and p-type contact layers formed on surfaces of the p-type cladding layers, the p-type cladding layers and the p-type contact layers being formed to have a ridges; insulating films covering surfaces of the semiconductor layers but having openings on surfaces of the p-type contact layer; and conductive layers connected to the p-type contact layers through the openings, the conductive layers being formed on surfaces of the insulating films to cover planar portions provided in the semiconductor layers adjacently to the ridges; wherein, together with the conductive layers, convex sidewalls are provided to be placed over portions of the planar portions at their sides nearer to the ridges.
