Abstract
A semiconductor laser diode of a double hetero structure including a semiconductor substrate, a buffer layer, a clad layer of a first conductivity type, an active layer and a clad layer of a second conductivity type, all layers being sequentially formed over the substrate, characterized by an intermediate layer interposed at at least one of a region between the substrate and the first clad layer and a region between the second clad layer and the cap layer, the intermediate layer being adapted to reduce a series resistance component and thus make a flow of current smooth.
