Abstract

In a monolithic OEIC in which an FET and a light-emitting device are integrated, the light-emitting device has a first clad layer, an active layer, and a second clad layer stacked on a substrate, the FET has a channel layer and source and drain layers with a high impurity concentration stacked on the substrate, etching mask layers on the source and drain layers, and a gate electrode formed on a channel layer between source and drain electrodes and the source and drain layers, the first clad layer of the light-emitting diode and the source and drain layers with a high impurity concentration of the FET are formed of the same semiconductor layer, and an active layer of the light-emitting device and the etching mask layers of the FET are formed of the same semiconductor layer.
