Abstract: In the present method, at the time when a semiconductor laser is being made, nitrogen or phosphorus element is introduced into an active layer comprising a GaAs based compound from an end face thereof, thereby changing the region of the active layer in the vicinity of the end face into a GaN or GaP based compound. Accordingly, the energy band gap of this region is made wider than the energy band gap within the active layer, and thus substituted region is changed into a layer transparent to the laser light generated within the active layer. Thus, the end face can be prevented from deteriorating upon the temperature rise caused by laser light absorption at the end face.

Abstract: A high speed D-type flip-flop circuit comprises a data take-in circuit for taking in a data input at a timing synchronized with a clock input, a data hold circuit for holding a data output determined by the data input taken in by the data take-in circuit until the next data input take-in time, and a data output forced update circuit. When the data input is taken in, the output determined thereby is governed by the data output forced update circuit and updated thereby. Then, the signal determined by the data input is transferred to an output terminal through the data take-in circuit and the data hold circuit, and the data output is held until the next update time.
