  • Publication number: 20080274573
    Abstract: Green light emitting diodes (LED) of gallium arsenide (GaAs) are series-connected. The series connection has a small transmission attenuation and a wide bandwidth. The GaAs LED has a big forward bias and so neither extra driving current nor complex resonant-cavity epitaxy layer is needed. Hence, the present invention has a high velocity, a high efficiency and a high power while an uneven current distribution is avoided.

  • Patent number: 7445949
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor laser device is provided. First, a first mask layer is formed on an epitaxial structure to define a protrudent area in a ridge structure. Thereafter, a conformal second mask layer is formed over the epitaxial structure to cover the first mask layer. A third mask layer is formed over the second mask layer. The exposed second mask layer is removed. Using the first and the third mask layers as etching masks, a portion of the epitaxial structure is removed. The third mask layer and the remaining second mask layer are removed to form the ridge structure. An insulation layer is formed on the epitaxial structure and then the first mask layer is removed to expose the top surface of the protrudent area. A conductive layer is formed on the epitaxial structure such that it contacts with the top surface of the protrudent area.

  • Publication number: 20080173874
    Abstract: A hetero junction bipolar transistor (HBT) has a (In)(Al)GaAsSb/InGaAs base-collector structure. A discontinuous base-collector conduction band forms a built-in electric field to infuse electrons into a collector structure effectively, while a discontinuous base-collector valence band prevents holes from spreading into the collector structure at the same time. Thus, a current density is increased. In addition, the small offset voltage of the base-emitter and base-collector junctions reduce a power consumption.
