    Abstract: Provided is a high-power vertical cavity surface emitting laser diode (VCSEL), including a first epitaxial region, an active region and a second epitaxial region. One of the first epitaxial region and the second epitaxial region is an N-type epitaxial region, and the other of the first epitaxial region and the second epitaxial region includes a PN junction. The PN junction includes a P-type epitaxial layer, a tunnel junction and an N-type epitaxial layer. The tunnel junction is located between the P-type epitaxial layer and the N-type epitaxial layer, and the P-type epitaxial layer of the PN junction is closest to the active region.

    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 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.
