Abstract

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.
