Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of VCSEL, and in particular to a VCSEL chip and a method for manufacturing the same. Background Art
[0002] VCSEL, full name Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser, is developed based on gallium arsenide semiconductor material. Different from other light sources such as LED (Light Emitting Diode) and LD (Laser Diode), it has the advantages of small volume, circular output light spot, single longitudinal mode output, small threshold current, low price, easy integration into large-area arrays, etc., and is widely used in the fields of optical communication, optical interconnection, optical storage, etc.
[0003] In the existing VCSEL lasers, the epitaxial structure usually includes a substrate, on which a buffer layer, an N-type DBR, an N-type waveguide confinement layer, a quantum well, a P-type waveguide confinement layer, a P-type oxidation interface stop layer, and a P-type DBR layer are sequentially deposited. In order to solve the problem of large divergence angle of VCSEL laser, in the prior art, usually the optical resonance cavity part between the P-type DBR and the N-type DBR is optimized. For example, the size of the oxidation aperture is adjusted or the structural composition of the N-type waveguide confinement layer and the P-type waveguide confinement layer is adjusted; however, although adjusting the size of the oxidation aperture can improve the divergence angle, due to the complex process of adjusting the oxidation aperture, it is difficult to achieve precise control. When the oxidation aperture is too large, the injection current density will decrease, thus reducing the brightness of the VCSEL laser; if the oxidation aperture is too small, the threshold voltage will increase. At the same time, adjusting the structural composition of the N-type waveguide confinement layer and the P-type waveguide confinement layer to form some waveguide layers can also improve the divergence angle, but due to the potential barrier difference formed between layers, the internal resistance will inevitably increase and the current spreading inside the chip will be reduced, resulting in poor thermal performance of the VCSEL laser.
[0004] In view of this, the inventor of the present invention specifically designed a VCSEL chip and a method for manufacturing the same, and this case is thus generated. Summary of the Invention
