Description

Multi-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser of heterogeneous tunnel junction and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of semiconductor lasers, in particular to a multi-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser of a heterogeneous tunnel junction.
Background
Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) have the unique advantages of small size, small divergence angle, high beam quality, low cost, easy two-dimensional integration, etc., have attracted extensive research interest in the field of semiconductor lasers in recent years and have also expanded rapidly in the application end market, including: 3D face recognition, laser medical science and beauty, gas detection, smart home, laser radar and the like.
At present, a mainstream VCSEL chip mainly adopts a single-active-region large-aperture (5-10 mu m) structure, so that the optical design difficulty is increased, the light output power density is reduced, and the requirements of high integration level and high power density are difficult to meet. Connecting multiple active regions by highly doped tunnel junctions is currently an effective way to improve power density, quantum efficiency, and skew efficiency. However, in a multi-junction VCSEL, the higher tunneling probability and the reduction of the absorption loss introduced by the tunnel junction are contradictory. Although the selection of the wide band gap material and the reduction of the doping concentration are beneficial to reducing the internal loss introduced by the tunnel junction, the tunneling probability of the tunnel junction is influenced, the voltage drop and the resistance introduced by the tunnel junction are increased, and no tunneling effect is caused in severe cases. On the contrary, if only high tunneling probability is pursued, the narrow band gap material is selected, which causes great absorption loss of the tunnel junction, and also affects various characteristics of the VCSEL laser, and causes the laser to have difficulty in realizing fundamental mode lasing.
Aiming at the problems, the invention designs a high-performance multi-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser based on a II-type heterogeneous tunnel junction.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present invention.
Thus, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed, but is merely representative of selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, the laser comprises, in order from top to bottom, a P electrode 1, a P-type bragg reflector 2, a first oxide layer 3, a first active region 4, a ii-type hetero-tunnel junction 5, a second oxide layer 6, a second active region 7, an N-type bragg reflector 8, a substrate 9, and an N electrode 10.
It can be understood that the heterojunction tunnel junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser provided by the invention ensures lower laser threshold and high power by introducing the II-type heterojunction tunnel junction 5 into the laser, and reduces the series resistance and the absorption between valence bands at the tunnel junction, so that the resistance of the II-type heterojunction tunnel junction 5 provided by the invention is about 40% smaller than that of a homogeneous tunnel junction, the high-performance multi-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser is realized, and the problems of low power density, quantum efficiency and oblique efficiency and higher absorption loss of the conventional vertical cavity surface emitting laser are solved.
It is to be understood that in the tunnel junction, on the one hand, to avoid light absorption, the tunnel junction material must be composed of a bandgap semiconductor that is larger than the laser wavelength energy; on the other hand, the tunneling probability increases as the band gap of the semiconductor constituting the tunneling junction decreases, and it is difficult for the short-wavelength vertical cavity surface emitting laser to realize a low-resistance tunneling junction, and thus, it is difficult to simultaneously realize low resistance and low light absorption.
Conventional near-infrared multi-junction vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (e.g., 905, 940, and 980 nm) typically use GaAs homojunctions for the tunnel junction material. However, for a 905nm VCSEL, the fluorescence peak of the active region material at room temperature is around 890nm, the corresponding photon energy is 1.393eV, and the energy gap of the intrinsic GaAs material at room temperature is 1.424eV, which are different by only 31meV. The GaAs homojunction has the potential for intrinsic absorption of photons in this band, taking into account the band gap shrinkage due to the heavy doping band-tail effect and carrier shielding effect, and the intrinsic absorption edge red-shift due to the electric franz-kelidish effect. Therefore, the tunnel junction of the heterojunction is more advantageous.
Specifically, refer to the type ii junction tunneling probability formula:
Figure BDA0003825596620000041
E geff ≡E gp -ΔE c =E gn -ΔE v (1) In the formula (1), E gp And E gn Shows the band gap energy of the p-side semiconductor and the n-side semiconductor, E geff Indicating the energy gap between the valence band edge on the p-side and the conduction band edge on the n-side of the hetero-interface. Due to E geff Less than E gp And E gn The tunneling probability of the type II heterogeneous tunnel junction is far larger than that of the homojunction or the type I tunnel junction.
Further, in the type II tunnel junction material, since E gp And E gn Greater than the laser wavelength energy, and E geff Less than the laser wavelength energy, and therefore light absorption can occur near the heterojunction. However, the transition from the valence band edge on the p side to the conduction band edge on the n side of the hetero interface requires the carrier function to penetrate the band gap, and therefore, the penetration probability thereof is not high. In addition, in the vertical cavity surface emitting laser, the II type heterogeneous tunnel junction is generally placed at a standing wave node, so that the light absorption of the II type heterogeneous tunnel junction is very small, the arrangement ensures lower laser threshold and high power, and meanwhile, the resistance of the II type heterogeneous tunnel junction is about 40% smaller than that of a homogeneous tunnel junction, and the resistance of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser is greatly reduced.
Furthermore, according to the multi-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser of the heterojunction, an oxide layer is arranged on one side of a p region of each active region, and the oxide layer can limit the aperture of a light emitting region, effectively inhibit leakage of electrons and further improve quantum efficiency in a device.
The type II heterogeneous tunnel junction comprises the following components: adjacent p-type heavily doped Al x Ga 1-x As y Sb 1-y And n-type heavily doped Al x Ga 1-x As, adjacent p-type heavily doped Al x Ga 1-x As y Sb 1-y And n-type heavily doped Al x Ga 1-x Both sides of As are respectively p-type lightly doped Al x Ga 1-x As and n-type lightly doped Al x Ga 1-x As. It should be noted that Al is introduced into the tunnel junction x Ga 1- x As y Sb 1-y With Al x Ga 1-x As two materials, the tunnel junction has a heterostructure, and light absorption at the heterostructure is small, so that a lower laser threshold value, a smaller resistance, a larger output power and excellent photoelectric performance can be realized at the heterostructure.

Further, in order to verify the optical and electrical properties of the emitting laser according to the present invention, the following test examples were performed.
Test example for testing optical and electrical properties of a transmitting laser
1.1 design of the experiment
Two treatment groups were set up for the experiment, the experimental group being Al according to example 1 0.1 Ga 0.9 As/Al 0.15 Ga 0.85 As 0.95 Sb 0.05 The three-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser of the type II heterogeneous tunnel junction adopts a vertical cavity surface emitting laser of a common homogeneous tunnel junction as a reference group, and optical and electrical performance tests are carried out on the three-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser under the same test conditions.
The test results are shown in FIG. 3, in which the dot-dash line represents a control group (VCSEL of ordinary GaAs homogeneous tunnel junction) and the solid line represents an experimental group (Al) 0.1 Ga 0.9 As/Al 0.15 Ga 0.85 As 0.95 Sb 0.05 Type ii heterojunction tunnel junction vertical cavity surface emitting lasers).
After the test, a current-power curve representing the optical performance and a current-voltage curve representing the electrical performance are respectively obtained.
1.2 analysis of results
Referring to the current-power curve of fig. 3, it can be seen that in terms of optical performance, the lasing threshold of the experimental group is 1.1mA, while the lasing threshold of the control group is 1.2mA, and it can be seen that the lasing thresholds of the two are not much different, because the type ii hetero-tunnel junction Al is used x Ga 1-x As/Al x Ga 1-x As y Sb 1-y No increase in absorption loss. It can be seen that the differential resistance and the diagonal efficiency of the experimental group are better than those of the control group under the condition of ensuring that the lasing threshold is not changed, and therefore, the heterojunction tunnel junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser in the embodiment 1 has higher photoelectric conversion efficiency.
Referring to the current-voltage curve, the curve of the experimental group is steeper in terms of electrical properties, i.e., the differential resistance of the experimental group is smaller compared to the control group. Visible, type II tunnel junction Al x Ga 1-x As/Al x Ga 1-x As y Sb 1-y Having a shorter tunneling distance increases the tunneling probability of electrons, thereby reducing the differential resistance.
By combining the two curves, compared with a control group, the experimental group has better differential resistance and oblique line efficiency and higher photoelectric conversion efficiency under the condition of ensuring that the lasing threshold is not changed.
In summary, the multi-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser of the hetero-tunnel junction according to the present invention ensures a lower laser threshold and a high power by introducing the hetero-tunnel junction into the laser, and reduces the series resistance and the absorption between valence bands at the tunnel junction, so that the resistance of the tunnel junction according to the present invention is about 40% smaller than that of a homogeneous tunnel junction, thereby implementing a high performance multi-junction vertical cavity surface emitting laser, and solving the problems of low power density, quantum efficiency, and skew efficiency, and high absorption loss of the conventional vertical cavity surface emitting laser.
