The device is an optoelectronic device or transparent waveguide device that comprises a growth surface, a growth mask, an optical waveguide core mesa and a cladding layer. The growth mask is located on the semiconductor surface and defines an elongate growth window having a periodic grating profile. The optical waveguide core mesa is located in the growth window and has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape. The cladding layer covers the optical waveguide core mesa and extends over at least part of the growth mask. Such devices are fabricated by providing a wafer comprising a growth surface, growing an optical waveguide core mesa on the growth surface by micro-selective area growth at a first growth temperature and covering the optical waveguide core mesa with cladding material at a second growth temperature, lower than the first growth temperature.

In one aspect, a VCSEL includes a base region that has a vertical growth part laterally adjacent a first optical reflector and a lateral growth part that includes nitride semiconductor material vertically over at least a portion of the first optical reflector. An active region has at least one nitride semiconductor quantum well vertically over at least a portion of the lateral growth part of the base region and includes a first dopant of a first electrical conductivity type. A contact region includes a nitride semiconductor material laterally adjacent the active region and a second dopant of a second electrical conductivity type opposite the first electrical conductivity type. A second optical reflector is vertically over the active region and forms with the first optical reflector a vertical optical cavity overlapping at least a portion of the at least one quantum well of the active region. A method of fabricating a VCSEL also is described.
摘要:
A vertical quantum well nitride laser-can be fabricated by ELOG (epitaxial lateral overgrowth), with the vertical quantum wells created by deposition over the vertical a-face of the laterally growing edges and forming the transverse junction in a single ELOG-MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition) growth step. Vertical quantum wells may be used for both GaN vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and GaN edge emitting lasers.
