Abstract

A III-nitride semiconductor laser device is provided with a laser structure and an electrode. The laser structure includes a support base which includes a hexagonal III-nitride semiconductor and a semipolar primary surface, and a semiconductor region provided on the semipolar primary surface. The electrode is provided on the semiconductor region. The semiconductor region includes a first cladding layer of a first conductivity type GaN-based semiconductor, a second cladding layer of a second conductivity type GaN-based semiconductor, and an active layer provided between the first cladding layer and the second cladding layer.
