Patent attributes
A method for manufacturing a laser device includes fixing a laser chip to a holder via a metal having a low melting point by melting the metal at a temperature higher than the melting point, heating the holder to which the laser chip is fixed at a heat treatment temperature that is lower than the melting point and, thereafter, sealing the laser chip by covering the holder to which the laser chip is fixed with a cap. The heating step may be performed in an atmosphere in which ozone is generated or an atmosphere in which oxygen plasma is generated. Furthermore, the holder to which the laser chip is fixed is covered with a cap to make a hermetically sealed package in dry air or an inert gas, and then an ultraviolet ray is irradiated into the package while it is heated.
