Abstract
We report on a study using VCSEL Quick Fabrication (VQF) devices for the rapid assessment of epitaxial structures designed for emission at 894nm grown on 100mm substrates. A comparison of measured VQF device results to the epitaxial design specification allows for the extraction of key variances across the wafer and the identification of their potential causes. We also demonstrate the applicability of this technique for the assessment of uniformity and reproducibility of 150mm VCSEL wafers for emission at 940nm, identifying the potential sources for observed variations in device performance that impact in specification device yield.
