摘要
垂直腔面发射激光器(VCSEL)易于片上集成,是激光雷达、安防照明等系统中的关键光电子器件.但VCSEL器件内部严重的自发热现象会影响器件的输出功率、高速特性和稳定性等,因此VCSEL热管理技术极具重要性,采用优化的封装方式能够有效增加VCSEL的热耗散,是改善VCSEL热性能的重要方法.本文基于有限元(Finite-element method,FEM)计算模型,对不同封装方式和器件表面采用覆盖铜薄层的VCSEL热特性进行数值分析.仿真结果表明,相较于顶出光封装方式,衬底出光(完全刻蚀上下DBR)的倒装焊封装能够有效降低有源区温度,下降超56％.随着器件台面直径逐渐增大,采用顶出光封装方式的器件温度和热阻显著下降,温度下降约50℃,热阻下降超3.25 K/mW;而完全刻蚀上下DBR结构且采用倒装焊封装方式和仅刻蚀P-DBR结构且倒装焊封装方式的器件温度和热阻则均呈缓慢上升趋势,器件温度上升约2℃,热阻上升约0.15 K/mW.在器件台面、侧壁及衬底上表面覆盖一层铜可有效降低有源区温度和改善热阻,当覆铜层厚度为3μm时,有源区温度下降43％,热阻下降1.9 K/mW.本文分析了封装方式对VCSEL热特性的影响并提出相应的优化方案,对VCSEL的有效散热封装具有指导意义.
Abstract
Vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is easily integrated on-chip and is a key optoelectronic device in systems such as laser radar and security lighting.However,the severe self-heating phenomenon can affect the output power,high-speed characteristics,and stability of the devices.Therefore,thermal management technolo-gy is extremely important,and adopting an optimized packaging approach can effectively increase the heat dissipa-tion of VCSELs,which is an important method to improve VCSELs' thermal performance.This article is based on a finite element method (FEM) computational model to numerically analyze the thermal characteristics of VCSELs with different packaging methods and a thin copper layer covering the devices' surface.The simulation results indicate that compared to the top-emitting packaging method,the flip-chip packaging with substrate-emitting (fully etched top and bottom DBR) can effectively reduce the active region temperature,with a reduction rate exceeding 56％.As the device mesa diameter gradually increases,devices using the top-emitting packaging method show a decreasing trend in temperature and thermal resistance,with a temperature reduction 50 ℃ and the thermal resistance reduction of over 3.25 K/mW.However,devices with a fully etched top and bottom DBR structure using flip-chip packaging and devices with only etched P-DBR structure using flip-chip packaging both exhibit a slowly increasing trend in tempera-ture and thermal resistance,with temperature increases of 2 ℃ and thermal resistance increases of 0.15 K/mW.Cov-ering the device mesa,sidewalls,and substrate surfaces with a layer of copper can effectively reduce the temperature of the active region.When the thickness of the copper layer is 3 μm,the temperature reduction of the active region is 43％ and thermal resisitance reduction is 1.9 K/mW.This article analyzes the impact of packaging methods on the thermal characteristics of VCSELs and proposes optimization solutions,which have guiding significance for the effec-tive thermal packaging of VCSELs.
