Abstract:
A method of fabricating a semiconductor optical device includes the steps of preparing a substrate product including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the first side including device sections and a street region extending between the device sections; forming a mask on the first side, the mask including device covering portions covering the respective device sections and an opening defining the device covering portions, the opening being provided in the street region; etching the substrate product using the mask so as to form a groove in the street region, the groove defining the device sections; after removing the mask, securing the first side to a support member; and forming an array of semiconductor chips on the support member by removing part of the substrate product from the second side until the groove is exposed so as to separate the device sections from each other.

Claim (Index 9):
A surface-emitting semiconductor laser comprising:\n a semiconductor structure that includes\n a first side, \n a second side opposite to the first side, and \n a side surface that extends from the second side to the first side, the side surface having an upper side without chipping; \n a first electrode provided on the first side of the semiconductor structure; and a second electrode provided on the first side of the semiconductor structure, wherein the semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a first stacked semiconductor layer disposed on the substrate, an active layer disposed on the first stacked semiconductor layer, and a second stacked semiconductor layer disposed on the active layer, the first stacked semiconductor layer includes a first distributed Bragg reflector, and the second stacked semiconductor layer includes a second distributed Bragg reflector.
