Abstract

An 8×8 vertical cavity surface emitting laser array flip-chip bonded to dummy silicon chip that mimics the real CMOS driver IC is demonstrated using Al metal lines and contact pads. All bonded devices operated reliably, showing only a small variation in wavelength, threshold current and power output across the array. Devices were digitally modulated up to 800 Mbit/s without degradation of the eye opening. The very high bonding yield and high frequency modulation of the bonded array show the applicability of the bonding technique for the integration of VCSEL arrays with high speed Si-based CMOS driver ICs for high speed data communications through optical interconnects.
