Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor optical device including a semiconductor layer includes: forming a semiconductor layer; forming a first dielectric film on a first region of a surface of the semiconductor layer; forming a second dielectric film on a second region of the surface of the semiconductor layer, the second dielectric film having a density higher than that of the first dielectric film; and performing a thermal treatment in a predetermined temperature range after the second dielectric film forming, wherein within the temperature range, as the temperature is lowered, a difference increases between a bandgap in the semiconductor layer below the second dielectric film and a bandgap in the semiconductor layer below the first dielectric film due to the thermal treatment.
