Abstract: Provided is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSEL) with low compressive strain DBR layer, including a GaAs substrate, a lower DBR layer, a lower spacer layer, an active region, an upper spacer layer and an upper DBR layer. The lower or the upper DBR layer includes multiple low refractive index layers and multiple high refractive index layers. The lower DBR layer, the lower spacer layer, the upper spacer layer or the upper DBR layer contains AlxGa1-xAs1-yPy, where the lattice constant of AlxGa1-xAs1-yPy is greater than that of the GaAs substrate. This can moderately reduce excessive compressive strain due to lattice mismatch or avoid tensile strain during the epitaxial growth, thereby reducing the chance of deformation and bowing of the VCSEL epitaxial wafer or cracking during manufacturing. Additionally, the VCSEL epitaxial layer can be prevented from generating excessive compressive strain or tensile strain during the epitaxial growth.

Abstract: Provided is a vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSEL). A tunnel junction with a high doping concentration is provided in the VCSEL. An n-type semiconductor layer of the tunnel junction has stress relative to the substrate, and is doped with at least one element such that the tunnel junction not only has a high doping concentration, but also the epitaxial layer can be oxidized and the oxidation rate is relatively stable during the oxidation process. Alternatively, the n-type semiconductor layer is doped with at least two elements. As a result, the oxidation process of the VCSEL can be stably performed, and the resistance of the tunnel junction with a high doping concentration is low. The tunnel junction is suitable to be arranged between two active layers of the VCSEL or between the p-type semiconductor and the n-type semiconductor layer of the VCSEL.

Abstract: Provided is a semiconductor epitaxial wafer, including a substrate, a first epitaxial structure, a first ohmic contact layer and a second epitaxial stack structure. It is characterized in that the ohmic contact layer includes a compound with low nitrogen content, and the ohmic contact layer does not induce significant stress during the crystal growth process. Accordingly, the second epitaxial stack structure formed on the ohmic contact layer can have good epitaxial quality, thereby providing a high-quality semiconductor epitaxial wafer for fabricating a GaAs integrated circuit or a InP integrated circuit. At the same time, the ohmic contact properties of ohmic contact layers are not affected, and the reactants generated during each dry etching process are reduced.

Abstract: A laser diode is provided, including at least a defect blocking layer deposited between the GaAs substrate and the active layer, so that the crystal defects of the GaAs substrate can be blocked or reduced from propagation to the active layer when the epitaxial layer is formed on the GaAs substrate. As such, the crystal quality of the active layer can be improved, thereby improving the reliability and optical property of the laser diode.

Abstract: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSEL) includes a substrate, a lower Bragg reflector (DBR) layer, an active region, an upper Bragg reflector (DBR) layer, and a current confinement layer. The lower DBR layer is on the substrate. The active region is on the lower DBR layer on the active region. The current confinement layer is inside or outside the active region. When the current confinement layer comprises a compound containing phosphorus, such as AlAsP or AlGaAsP, and the phosphorus (P) content is within a specific range, the insulation rate of the current confinement layer will not be excessively fast to the point of being difficult to control. Additionally, the reproducibility of the aperture in the current confinement layer between batches of the VCSEL production is improved. Furthermore, the divergence angle of the VCSEL can be further reduced, thereby significantly enhancing the sensing capabilities of Lidar or 3D sensing.

Abstract: A measurement method for a vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSEL) and an epitaxial wafer test fixture are provided, especially the Fabry-Perot Etalon of the bottom-emitting VCSEL can be measured. When the Fabry-Perot Etalon of the bottom-emitting VCSEL is measured by a measurement apparatus, a light of the test light source of the measurement apparatus is incident from the substrate surface of the VCSEL epitaxial wafer such that the Fabry-Perot Etalon of the bottom-emitting VCSEL is acquired. Through the VCSEL epitaxial wafer test fixture, the bottom-emitting VCSEL can be directly measured by the existing measurement apparatus such that there is no need to change the optical design of the measurement apparatus, and it can prevent the VCSEL epitaxial wafer from being scratched or contaminated.
