Abstract
A ridge waveguide laser structure is manufactured by a method including providing a photoresist stripe (8) on an exposed area of a p cap layer (4) of a multilayer laser wafer; etching channels (9) through the cap layer (4) and a p passive layer (3) using the stripe (8) and an oxide layer window (FIG. 4) as a mask; evaporating a passivating and insulating oxide (11, 11a) over the wafer, there being breaks (C) in the oxide where the stripe (8) is undercut during channel etching; and removing the stripe (8) and the oxide (11a) on it by a lift-off technique.
