Optoelectronic integrated circuit
First Claim
1. An optoelectronic integrated circuit comprising:
- a laser device including a first cladding layer of a first type of conductivity formed on a semi-insulating substrate, an active layer formed on said first cladding layer of said first type of conductivity, a waveguide layer of a second type of conductivity formed on said active layer being wider in band gap than said active layer, and a second cladding layer of said second type of conductivity formed partially on the surface of said waveguide layer of said second type of conductivity being wider in band gap than said waveguide layer; and
a heterojunction bipolar transistor including an emitter layer of said first type of conductivity formed partially on the surface of said waveguide layer of said second type of conductivity being wider in band gap than said waveguide layer, a collector formed by a portion of said first cladding layer of said first type of conductivity and a base formed by a portion of said waveguide layer of said second type of conductivity.

Abstract
An optoelectronic integrated circuit includes an N+ type cladding layer, an N type cladding layer, an active layer smaller in band gap than the N type cladding layer and a P type waveguide greater in band gap than the active layer sequentially formed on a semi-insulating substrate, a P type cladding layer partially formed on the surface of the P type waveguide, a laser composed of these N+ type and N type cladding layers, active layer, waveguide and P type cladding layer, and an N type emitted layer wider in band gap than the P type waveguide formed partially on the surface of the P type waveguide, thereby composing a heterojunction bipolar transistor using the N type cladding layer as the collector and the P type waveguide as the base.
