Abstract
A VCSEL/VECSEL array design is disclosed that results in arrays that can be directly soldered to a PCB using conventional surface-mount assembly and soldering techniques for mass production. The completed VCSEL array does not need a separate package and no precision sub-mount and flip-chip bonding processes are required. The design allows for on-wafer probing of the completed arrays prior to singulation of the die from the wafer. Embodiments relate to semiconductor devices, and more particularly to multibeam arrays of semiconductor lasers for high power and high frequency applications and methods of making and using the same.
