Abstract

We propose a simplified and easier fabrication process flow for the manufacturing of AlOx-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) based on combining the oxidation step with a self-aligned process, allowing the mesa etching and two successive lift-off steps based on a single lithography step. The electro-optical confinement achieved by standard lateral oxidation enables a low threshold and a single mode behavior for the VCSEL. This simplified process can largely improve VCSEL manufacturing by reducing the processing time and costs compared to the standard VCSEL process.
