A method for manufacturing a semiconductor optical device includes: forming a p-type cladding layer; forming a capping layer on the p-type cladding layer, the capping layer being selectively etchable relative to the p-type cladding layer; forming a through film on the capping layer; forming a window structure by ion implantation; removing the through film after the ion implantation; and selectively removing the capping layer using a chemical solution.

Method for manufacturing semiconductor optical device

A laser diode includes a first n-cladding layer disposed on and lattice-matched to an n-semiconductor substrate, wherein the first n-cladding layer is n-AlGaInP or n-GaInP; a second n-cladding layer of n-AlGaAs supported by the first n-cladding layer; and an inserted layer disposed between the first n-cladding layer and the second n-cladding layer, wherein the inserted layer includes the same elements as the first n-cladding layer, the inserted layer has the same composition ratios of Al and Ga (and P) as the first n-cladding layer, and the inserted layer contains a lower composition ratio of In than the first n-cladding layer.
