Description

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser array and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a laser technology, in particular to a vertical cavity surface emitting laser array and a preparation method thereof.
Background
At present, in application scenarios such as 3D sensing (mobile phone, payment, security, and the like), vehicle sensing, medical treatment, and the like of numerous intelligent devices, there is a great market demand for vertical cavity surface emitting laser arrays, and higher requirements are also put forward for device density and size miniaturization thereof. In the conventional VCSEL array fabrication, in order to increase the device density, the number of light emitting points is usually increased, and the distance is reduced, but due to the limitation of the level of the semiconductor fabrication process at the present stage, there is a certain difficulty in further reducing the channel width between two adjacent light emitting units. For the existing arrangement, the spacing of the platform edge of the unit emitting hole is generally required to be 3-10 μm, and the spacing of the light emitting unit is 33-40 μm. If the distance between the light-emitting units is expected to be further reduced, if the width of the channel is directly reduced, the consistency of the generated different light-emitting point channel shapes cannot be ensured due to the fact that the limits of a photoetching process and a dry etching process are approached. Therefore, how to improve the existing fabrication process of the vcsel array to meet the increasingly stringent requirements for its density and size is a problem to be solved in the art.
