Abstract

A new integration method that relies on the thermal oxidation of AlAs to form a buried current confining and isolation layer for light emitting device (LED) and field effect transistors (FET) is presented. The buried oxide layer is situated under the FET channel such that the transistor is effectively stacked on top of the LED (or VCSEL). The oxide layer is also used to form a current injection aperture in the LED and directs current flow vertically through this device. With this proposed method, there is the possibility of integrating GaAs FETs and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCELs) photodetectors on the same chip.
