Abstract
VCSELs are promising high-speed transmitters in lightwave communication systems. Two major device structures used today are oxide-confined and proton-implanted VCSELs. The former has a high capacitance due to the thin oxide layer, whereas the latter has a high resistance due to a small injection area. Oxide plus implant VCSELs was demonstrated to have >20 GHz modulation bandwidth. However, the design rule and trade-off on oxide and implant dimensions and their impact on VCSEL's modulation response have not been clearly shown. In the paper, we fabricated VCSELs of oxide-only and oxide-implant structures on the same sample and show that, conclusively and quantitatively, the additional implant process increases VCSEL modulation speed. A model is proposed to design high-speed VCSELs by removing the parasitic limitation.
