Methods for fabricating an optical device that exhibits improved conduction and reflectivity, and minimized absorption. Steps include forming a plurality of mirror periods designed to reflect an optical field having peaks and nulls. The formation of a portion of the plurality of minor periods includes forming a first layer having a thickness of less than one-quarter wavelength of the optical field; forming a first compositional ramp on the first layer; and forming a second layer on the compositional ramp, the second layer having a different index of refraction than the first layer and having a thickness such that the nulls of the optical field occur within the second layer and not within the compositional ramp, and wherein forming the second layer further comprises heavily doping the second layer at a location of the nulls of the optical field.

摘要:
A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) is optimized for longer life of the VCSEL by controlling the distance of doped and undoped layers near an active region. In addition, the VCSEL optimized for reduced parasitic lateral current under an oxide of the VCSEL by forming a high Al confinement region and placing the oxide at a null in a standing optical wave. Further, the VCSEL is optimized to reduce resistance.
摘要:
Light emitting semiconductor devices such as VCSELs, SELs, and LEDs are manufactured to have a thin electrical confinement barrier in a confining layer near the active region of the device. The thin confinement barrier comprises a III-V semiconductor material having a high aluminum content (e.g. 80%-100% of the type III material). The aluminum content of the adjacent spacer layer is lower than that of the confinement barrier. In one embodiment the spacer layer has an aluminum content of less than 40% and a direct bandgap. The aluminum profile reduces series resistance and improves the efficiency of the semiconductor device.

Semiconductor lasers, such as VCSELs having active regions with flattening layers associated with nitrogen-containing quantum wells are disclosed. MEE (Migration Enhanced Epitaxy) is used to form a flattening layer upon which a quantum well is formed and thereby enhance smoothness of quantum well interfaces and to achieve narrowing of the spectrum of light emitted from nitrogen containing quantum wells. A cap layer is also formed over the quantum well.
