1. A method of manufacturing an optical semiconductor device, comprising:
a step of forming semiconductor layers on a surface of a substrate;
an etching step of forming a ridge by etching part of the semiconductor layers;
a cleaning step of removing substances having adhered to surfaces of the etched semiconductor layers while feeding a source gas for crystal growth and an etching gas; and
a crystal growth step of forming current blocking layers both sidewalls of the ridge at a processing temperature higher than a temperature in the cleaning step.
