摘要:
An active region of a VCSEL at one (i.e., n doped) end having an expanded effectively undoped region, and another (i.e., p doped) end having a significantly doped region up to or even including a portion of the active region. A previous way had heavy doping of the n and p doped regions up to the active region, at least close to it or even partially into it.
摘要:
A light emitting device having a first mirror, an active layer, a second mirror, and a beryllium implantation resulting in a peripheral boundary of a waveguide through the first and second mirrors, the active layer and the trapping layer. A P-N junction is situated within the implantation and the guide. The turn on voltage is lower for the junction within the waveguide than that within the implantation, resulting in confinement of current within the guide at a voltage applied to the device that is greater than the lower junction voltage and less than the higher junction voltage. The device also has an electron trapping layer between said first mirror and said active layer, and a conduction layer situated on said second mirror.
摘要:
A group III-V substrate is doped with tellurium or another group VI element, instead of silicon, in order to avoid the conductivity type conversion that could otherwise occur if the group V element is boiled off during high temperature processing. For example, a gallium arsenide substrate can be doped with tellurium and then a gallium arsenide epitaxial layer can be deposited on a surface. If the substrate is heated beyond a predetermined temperature during the processing of the device, the arsenic can boil away from the substrate and leave arsenic vacancies. If the silicon is used as the substrate dopant, the silicon can migrate to the arsenic vacancies and replace arsenic, particularly proximate the substrate surface. If, on the other hand, tellurium or another group VI element is used as the substrate dopant, this change in conductivity type can not occur. Therefore, the conductivity conversion proximate the substrate surface will not create a thyristor-like behavior that is significantly disadvantageous.
