Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device includes a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) with an integrated protection diode arranged between the VCSEL and an emitting surface. By locating the protection diode above the VCSEL, a minimal increase in substrate area is consumed to protect the VCSEL from electrostatic discharge events. A relatively small capacitance introduced by the protection diode, is controllably adjusted by one of the radial size of the protection diode and the thickness of the intrinsic layer therein. The relatively small capacitance introduced by the protection diode enables the VCSEL to operate at data rates above 10 Gb/s.
