Abstract
A semiconductor optical device includes, on a semiconductor substrate, a mesa-stripe-like multilayer structure constituted by at least an n-cladding layer, an active region formed from an active layer or a photoabsorption layer, and a p-cladding layer, and a buried layer in which two sides of the multilayer structured are buried using a semi-insulating semiconductor crystal. The buried layer includes a diffusion enhancement layer which is adjacent to the mesa-stripe-like multilayer structure and enhances diffusion of a p-impurity, and a diffusion suppression layer which is adjacent to the diffusion enhancement layer and suppresses diffusion of a p-impurity. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor optical device is also disclosed.
