Popis: We report the utilization of an selective As + -implanted underlying layer and regrowth method to enhance and control the wet thermal oxidation rate for 850 nm oxide-confined VCSEL. The oxidation rate of the As + -implanted device showed a four-fold increase over the non-implanted one at the As + dosage of 1 × 10 16 cm −3 and the oxidation temperature of 400 °C. The 50 side-by-side As + -implanted oxide-confined VCSELs fabricated using the method achieved very uniform performance with a deviation in threshold current of Δ I th ∼ 0.2 mA and slope-efficiency of ΔS.E. ∼ 3%. Finally, we accumulated life test data for oxide-confined VCSELs with As + -implanted underlying layer up to 1000 h at 80 o C/15 mA.
