Abstract

The present invention discloses a manufacturing method of vertical cavity surface emitting laser. The method includes following steps: providing a substrate; forming an epitaxial layer stack including an aluminum-rich layer; forming an ion-doping mask including a ring-shaped opening; doping ions in the epitaxial layer stack through the ring-shaped opening and forming a ring-shaped ion-doped region over the aluminum-rich layer; forming an etching mask on the ion-doping mask for covering the ring-shaped opening of the ion-doping mask; etching the epitaxial layer stack through the etching mask and ion-doping mask for forming an island platform; oxidizing the aluminum-rich layer for forming a ring-shaped oxidized region. In addition, the present invention also discloses a vertical cavity surface emitting laser manufactured by the above mentioned method.
