Abstract
A monolithic device, including a substrate, a semiconductor laser formed in the substrate, and a metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MISFET) also formed in the substrate, in such a manner as to facilitate the use of planar fabrication techniques. In a first disclosed embodiment, the device is formed on an n+ substrate and the MISFET is operated in inversion mode. In a second embodiment, an n+ substrate is also employed, but the structure includes a semi-insulating layer to confine current-carrier flow in the MISFET, which is operated in depletion mode. In a third embodiment, a semi-insulating substrate is employed, and the laser is of the buried heterostructure type.
