The invention relates to an epitaxial growth method and an epitaxial layer for burying a heterostructure, comprising the following steps: S1, growing part or all of an n / p / n / p InP or InGaAsP layer; S2, by burying, dry method or wet method Etch the shape model of the epitaxial growth required; S3, grow all Al-containing materials in the epitaxial structure in the shape model. In the present invention, part or all of the n / p / n / p structure is formed first, and then the shape of the epitaxial layer to be grown is etched, and then the epitaxial layer is grown therein. The method of the invention can effectively combine the advantages of AlGaInAs / InP material and BH technology to grow a high-efficiency
laser epitaxial structure, so as to avoid Al oxidation, reduce
Auger recombination, inter-band absorption, and improve the high temperature characteristics of the device. The
threshold current density of the
laser is reduced, the characteristic temperature of the
active layer material and the external
quantum efficiency, internal
quantum efficiency and conversion efficiency of the
quantum well in the active region are improved.
