Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 90 words
A submount for a semiconductor laser element comprising: a substrate having a surface; a barrier layer disposed on the surface of said substrate, said barrier layer including a plurality of layers successively deposited on said substrate, the outermost layer of said barrier layer being one of Au and Ag; and an alloy solder layer comprising about 65 weight percent Sn, about 25 weight percent Ag, and about 10 weight percent Sb disposed on said outermost surface of said barrier layer for attachment of a semiconductor laser element to the submount.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 90 words
A submount for a semiconductor laser element comprising: a substrate having a surface; a barrier layer disposed on the surface of said substrate, said barrier layer including a plurality of layers successively deposited on said substrate, the outermost layer of said barrier layer being one of Au and Ag; and an alloy solder layer comprising about 65 weight percent Sn, about 25 weight percent Ag, and about 10 weight percent Sb disposed on said outermost surface of said barrier layer for attachment of a semiconductor laser element to the submount.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 11 words
