Abstract

A semiconductor laser device capable of improving reliability is obtained in a structure formed by mounting a semiconductor laser element on a submount (base) in a junction-down system. This semiconductor laser device comprises a first electrode layer formed on the surface of a semiconductor element including an emission layer to have a shape comprising recess portions and projection portions, a base mounted with the semiconductor element, and a plurality of low melting point metal layers provided between the first electrode layer formed on the surface of the semiconductor element and the base for bonding the first electrode layer formed on the surface of the semiconductor element and the base to each other. Thus, the plurality of low melting point metal layers easily embed clearances resulting from the shape comprising recess portions and projection portions of the surface of the semiconductor element dissimilarly to a case of employing a single low melting point metal layer.
