Semiconductor laser device and fabricating method therefor

A semiconductor laser device has a support body constructed of a disk-shaped section and a columnar body formed in a central portion of this disk-shaped section, one set of leads fit to this support body in an integrated manner, a semiconductor laser element mounted on a reference surface of the columnar body, and a wire for electrically connecting this semiconductor laser element with one of the leads. The disk-shaped section of the support body has an opening therethrough. The one set of leads are inserted through the opening, placed in position, and integrated with the support body via a resin block filling the opening.
