Abstract

See full text

The cleavage of semiconductor crystalline wafers into laser diodes or laser diode bars is carried out at a low temperature at which both the semiconductor crystal substrate and the laser-forming laminate structure thereon are imbrittled. Cleavage at such low temperatures permits the cleavage planes to be closer together than was hitherto possible. A thickness to cavity length ratio of the resulting laser diodes or laser diode bars is approximately 1 as a result compared to 3/4 by prior art techniques. Also, the energy required for cleaving is reduced thus ensuring mirror surfaces at the cleavage planes.
