Abstract

A method for producing a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, includes the steps of: forming a bottom mirror layer, an active layer and a top mirror layer on a semiconductor substrate; forming an antireflection layer on a rear surface of the semiconductor substrate; selectively etching peripheral portions of the antireflection layer to form a first electrode; defining laser emission portions through etching processing; forming a hydrogenated barrier over an entire surface of the resultant structure; forming a post; forming a passivation layer through the hydrogenating of the exposed top mirror layer and the portions of the active layer; forming a planarization film after the partial exposure of the top mirror and forming a second electrode pad to which the exposed top mirror layer contacts.
