    摘要: A VCSEL having an N-type Bragg mirror with alternating layers of high bandgap (low index) and low bandgap (high index) layers of AlGaAs. The layers may be separated by a step change of Al composition followed by a graded region, and vice versa for the next layer, in the N-type mirror to result in a lower and more linear series resistance. Also, an N-type spacer layer may be adjacent to an active region of quantum wells. There may be a similar step in a change of Al composition from the nearest layer of the N-type mirror to the N-type spacer formed from a lower bandgap direct AlGaAs layer to provide lower free carrier absorption. With electron affinity engineering, a minority carrier hole barrier may be inserted adjacent to the quantum wells to improve hole confinement at high current density and high temperature.

    摘要: This disclosure concerns devices such as DBRs, one example of which includes at least one first mirror layers having an oxidized region extending from an edge of the DBR to an oxide termination edge that is situated greater than a first distance from the edge of the DBR. The DBR also includes at least one second mirror layer having an oxidized region extending from the edge of the DBR to an oxide termination edge that is situated less than a second distance from the edge of the DBR, such that the first distance is greater than the second distance. Additionally, a first mirror layer includes an oxidizable material at a concentration that is higher than the concentration of the oxidizable material in any of the second mirror layers. Finally, a first mirror layer is doped with an impurity at a higher level than one of the second mirror layers.

    摘要: An oxide-confined VCSELs having a distributed Bragg reflector with a heavily doped high Al content oxide aperture forming layer disposed between a low Al content first layer and a medium Al content second layer. Between the first layer and the oxide aperture forming layer there may be a thin transition region wherein the Al content changes from a higher Al content to a lower Al content. In some embodiments, the Al concentration from the oxide aperture forming layer to the second layer may occur in a step. The oxide aperture forming layer may be disposed at or near a null or a node of the electric field produced by resonant laser light. During the oxidization of the oxide aperture forming layer, all or some of the other aluminum bearing DBR layers may also become oxidized, but to a substantially lesser degree. The junction between the oxidized portion and un-oxidized portion of these layers is believed to reduce the stability and/or reliability of the device. To alleviate this, the present invention contemplates providing an implant, etch or other suitable process to reduce or eliminate one or more electrical artifacts associated with the junction between the oxidized portion and un-oxidized portion of these layers as well as reducing the oxidation of other aluminum bearing layers of the DBR.

    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.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for fabricating a metamorphic long-wavelength, high-speed photodiode, wherein a buffer layer matching a substrate lattice constant is formed at normal growth temperatures and a thin grading region which grades past the desired lattice constant is configured at a low temperature. A reverse grade back is performed to match a desired lattice constant. Thereafter, a thick layer is formed thereon, based on the desired lattice constant. Annealing can then occur to isolate dislocated material in a grading layer and a reverse grading layer. Thereon a strained layer superlattice substrate is created upon which a high-speed photodiode can be formed. Implant or diffusion layers grown in dopants can be formed based on materials, such as Be, Mg, C, Te, Si, Se, Zn, or others. A metal layer can be formed over a cap above a P+ region situated directly over an N-active region. The active region also includes a p-doped region. The high-speed photodiode can thus be formed utilizing GaAs, or other substrate material, such as germanium and silicon.
