Abstract:
1. A method of making a semiconductor laser device, the method comprising: providing a flat header portion that is to support a semiconductor laser chip; providing a needle for depositing conductive die-bonding paste; arranging the needle in depositing position so that a depositing tip of the needle partially extends laterally beyond an edge of the flat header portion when the conductive die-bonding paste is dispensed from the needle so that the conductive die-bonding paste is deposited onto both the flat header portion and an area at a lower elevation that is adjacent the edge of the flat header portion; and die-bonding the semiconductor laser chip to the flat header portion using the conductive die-bonding paste so that a first light emitting end of the chip extends laterally beyond the edge of the flat header portion, and a second end of the chip opposite the first end is located over the flat header portion so as to not extend beyond any edge of the flat header portion.
