Abstract

Disclosed is a divided electrode type semiconductor layer device designed to improve the separation of electrodes without reducing the amount of doping for carrier injection layers. A double-hetero-structure is formed on a semi-insulating substrate, and at least two pairs of carrier injection clad layers are thereafter buried like lands while a high-resistance portion is left between the carrier injection clad layers to electrically separate these layers. The electrodes are respectively formed on the separated carrier injection layers.
