Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor optoelectronic technology, and in particular to a vertical cavity surface emitting laser epitaxial structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A laser is a device that uses the principle of stimulated emission of radiation to amplify or oscillate light within certain excited materials. A vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is a semiconductor laser whose laser emission is perpendicular to the epitaxial plane. Compared to edge-emitting lasers, which typically emit laser light from the edge (parallel to the epitaxial direction), VCSELs offer advantages such as a smaller far-field divergence angle, easier fiber coupling, lower threshold current, higher bandwidth, and higher test efficiency.
[0003] The epitaxial structure of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) typically consists of a gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate, a GaAs buffer layer, an etched stop layer, an N-type distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) layer, an oxide layer, an active layer, and a P-type DBR layer. Typically, the N-type DBR layer consists of 40 growth pairs, and the P-type DBR layer consists of 20 growth pairs. The substrate is thinned to approximately 100μm, and laser light is emitted from one side of the P-type DBR layer.
[0004] However, the existing epitaxial structure leads to the following disadvantages: the DBR layer growth process is complex; the single corrosion cutoff layer is unevenly corroded, resulting in inconsistent voltage; the uneven stress of the epitaxial material itself leads to fragmentation; and the unevenness of the epitaxial material leads to excessive corrosion of the ohmic contact layer, resulting in small black holes in the epitaxial layer.

Thus, the features defined with "first", "second", and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or at least two of such features, unless the content clearly indicates otherwise.
[0030] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser epitaxial structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the manufacturing method of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser epitaxial structure includes the following steps:
[0031] Provide a substrate 10, and sequentially form a first buffer layer 11, an etch stop layer 12, an ohmic contact layer 13, a second buffer layer 16, an N-type DBR layer 17, an active layer 19, and a P-type DBR layer 20 on the substrate;
[0032] The material of the etch stop layer 12 includes doped silicon (Al x Ga (1-x) ) y In z As n [[ID=2,5]]P m , where 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 1, 0 < z < 1, 0 < n < 1, 0 < m < 1, and n < m.
[0033] The etch stop layer 12 can achieve rapid etching, and the etch stop layer 12 and the substrate 10 have a high etch selectivity, so as to improve the phenomenon of uneven etching, improve the residue of the substrate 10, and thus improve the quality and performance of the device.
[0034] In this embodiment, the material of the substrate 10 is preferably gallium arsenide (GaAs), and the gallium arsenide is N-type doped, and the doping atoms include silicon. The material of the first buffer layer 11 is also preferably gallium arsenide, which is consistent with the material of the substrate 10. The material of the ohmic contact layer 13 includes gallium arsenide doped with silicon, and the material of the second buffer layer 16 also includes gallium arsenide doped with silicon, and the content of silicon doped in the ohmic contact layer 13 and the second buffer layer 16 is different. In another embodiment, the content of silicon doped in the ohmic contact layer 13 and the second buffer layer 16 may also be the same, and the present invention does not limit this.
[0035] Preferably, an oxide layer 18 is further formed between the N-type DBR layer 17 and the active layer 19, and a P-type gallium arsenide layer 21 is further formed on the P-type DBR layer 20. The oxide layer 18 may include a semiconductor compound containing aluminum, such as AlAs (aluminum arsenide), AlGaAs (aluminum gallium arsenide), InAlGaAs (indium aluminum gallium arsenide), etc., and the semiconductor compound containing aluminum is oxidized to form the oxide layer 18. The oxide layer 18 may have a non-oxidized light-transmitting region arranged at the central position. The resistance of the oxide layer 18 may be relatively high, but on the contrary, the refractive index of the oxide layer 18 is relatively low. Therefore, current can be injected into the light-transmitting region, so that the laser is concentrated in the center of the element.
[0036] The lattice mismatch between P (phosphorus) and As (arsenic) in the etch stop layer 12 will cause uneven stress in the epitaxial structure. In this embodiment, preferably, a first strain layer 14 and a second strain layer 15 are further formed between the ohmic contact layer 13 and the second buffer layer 16 to release the stress. The materials of the first strain layer 14 and the second strain layer 15 both contain (Al x Ga (1-x) ) y In z As n P m Si a O b C c , where 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 1, 0 < z < 1, 0 < n < 1, 0 < m < 1, 0 < a < 1, 0 < b < 1, 0 < c < 1, and y + z = 1, n + m = 1, a + b + c = 1, a > c > b, and the contents of P and As in the first strain layer and the second strain layer are different.
[0037] The first strained layer 14 balances the compressive strain generated by the quantum wells, while the second strained layer 15 releases stress. Furthermore, the P and As contents in the first and second strained layers 14, 15 differ, and this variation in content further releases stress, resulting in a more uniform epitaxial structure. This approach achieves the following beneficial effects: reducing the complexity of growing the N-type DBR layer 17 and the P-type DBR layer 20; improving current distribution and beam quality; alleviating substrate 10 warping caused by stress imbalance; improving contact voltage; and reducing the occurrence of small black holes in the epitaxial structure, ultimately enhancing device quality and performance.
[0038] For example, the corrosion stop layer 12, the ohmic contact layer 13, the first strained layer 14 and the second strained layer 15 can be formed by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Of course, other methods known to those skilled in the art can also be used. When forming the corrosion stop layer 12, the chamber pressure is 50mbar-500mbar, the chamber temperature is 400℃-800℃, and the thickness of the corrosion stop layer 12 is 10nm-200nm. The corrosion stop layer 12 can achieve rapid corrosion and reduce the residue of the substrate 10, thereby achieving an optimized corrosion effect. When forming the ohmic contact layer 13, the chamber pressure is 50mbar-500mbar, the chamber temperature is 400℃-800℃, and the thickness of the ohmic contact layer 13 is 10nm-200nm.
[0039] When forming the first strained layer 14, the chamber pressure is 50mbar-500mbar, the growth temperature is 400°C-800°C, and the thickness of the first strained layer 14 is 10nm-200nm. The first strained layer 14 can achieve compressive strain balance caused by the quantum well, making the epitaxial structure more uniform. When forming the second strained layer 15, the chamber pressure is 50mbar-500mbar, the growth temperature is 400°C-800°C, and the thickness of the second strained layer 15 is 10nm-200nm. The second strained layer 15 can achieve stress release, making the epitaxial structure more uniform. In addition, the P and As contents in the first and second strained layers are different. The change in content can further achieve stress release, making the epitaxial structure more uniform.
[0040] Preferably, in the first strained layer 14 and the second strained layer 15, m1>m2, and n1<n2, where m1 and n1 are the P (phosphorus) content and As (arsenic) content in the first strained layer 14, respectively, and m2 and n2 are the P content and As content in the second strained layer 15, respectively. The variation in the content in the first strained layer 14 and the second strained layer 15 can further relieve stress and make the epitaxial structure more uniform.
[0041] Exemplarily, the number of growth pairs of the N-type DBR layer 17 includes 15 to 25 pairs, which is a decrease compared to the 40 pairs in the prior art. The N-type DBR layer 17 is formed by stacking at least two semiconductor materials with different refractive indices. For example, the N-type DBR layer 17 has an overlapping structure of a first refractive index and a second refractive index, where the first refractive index is greater than the second refractive index, and the two refractive index materials together comprise 15 to 25 pairs. In one embodiment of the present invention, the N-type DBR layer 17 may include a sequentially stacked N-type aluminum gallium arsenide layer (AlGaAs) and an N-type gallium arsenide layer (GaAs). AlGaAs is a high-refractive-index material, while GaAs is a low-refractive-index material. Multiple layers of high-refractive-index N-type AlGaAs layers and low-refractive-index N-type GaAs layers are stacked to form the N-type DBR layer 17. Furthermore, based on the conventional DBR structure, the refractive index of the multiple layers of the N-type AlGaAs layers can gradually change, and the refractive index of the multiple layers of the N-type GaAs layers can also gradually change, but this is not limited to this.
[0042] The P-type DBR layer 20 has 30 to 40 growth pairs, an increase compared to the 20 pairs in the prior art. Similar to the N-type DBR layer 17, the P-type DBR layer 20 is formed by stacking at least two semiconductor materials with different refractive indices. For example, the P-type DBR layer 20 has an overlapping structure of a first refractive index and a second refractive index, with the first refractive index being greater than the second refractive index. The two refractive index materials comprise 30 to 40 pairs in total. In one embodiment of the present invention, the P-type DBR layer 20 may include a P-type aluminum gallium arsenide layer (AlGaAs) and a P-type gallium arsenide layer (GaAs) disposed sequentially. Aluminum gallium arsenide is a high-refractive index material, while gallium arsenide is a low-refractive index material. Multiple high-refractive index P-type aluminum gallium arsenide layers and low-refractive index P-type gallium arsenide layers are stacked to form the P-type DBR layer 20. Furthermore, based on the conventional structure of the DBR, the refractive index of the multiple layers of the P-type AlGaAs layer can be gradually changed, and the refractive index of the multiple layers of the P-type GaAs layer can also be gradually changed, of course, but not limited to this. Preferably, the N-type DBR layer 17 and the P-type DBR layer 20 are uniformly doped.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, a corrosion stop layer 12, an ohmic contact layer 13, and a second buffer layer 16 are sequentially formed between the first buffer layer 11 and the N-type DBR layer 17. The material of the corrosion stop layer 12 includes doped silicon (Al x Ga (1-x) ) y In z As n P m , which can achieve rapid corrosion, and the corrosion stop layer 12 and the substrate 10 have a high corrosion selectivity, thereby improving the phenomenon of uneven corrosion and the residue of the substrate 10, thereby improving the quality and performance of the device,
[0044] A first strained layer 14 and a second strained layer 15 are formed between the ohmic contact layer 13 and the second buffer layer 16. The materials of the first strained layer 14 and the second strained layer 15 both include (Al x Ga (1-x) ) y In z As n P m Si a O b C c The first strained layer 14 balances the compressive strain generated by the quantum wells, while the second strained layer 15 releases stress. Furthermore, the P and As contents in the first and second strained layers 14 and 15 differ, and this variation in content further releases stress, resulting in a more uniform epitaxial structure. This approach achieves the following beneficial effects: reducing the complexity of growing the N-type and P-type DBR layers; improving current distribution and beam quality; alleviating substrate warping caused by stress imbalance; improving contact voltage; and reducing the appearance of small black holes in the epitaxial structure, ultimately enhancing device quality and performance.

[0047] The material of the corrosion stop layer 12 includes silicon-doped (Al x Ga (1-x) ) y In z Asn P m , where 0 < x < 1, 0 < y < 1, 0 < z < 1, 0 < n < 1, 0 < m < 1, and n < m.

The contents of P and As in the first strain layer and the second strain layer are different.
