Abstract: An optical device for improving conduction and reflectivity and minimizing absorption. The optical device includes a first mirror comprising a first plurality of mirror periods designed to reflect an optical field at a predetermined wavelength, where the optical field has peaks and nulls. Each of the plurality of mirror periods includes a first layer of having a high carrier mobility, a second layer having lower carrier mobility, and a first compositional ramp between the first and second layers. The thicknesses of the first and second layers for at least a portion of the first plurality of mirror periods are established such that the nulls of the optical field occur within the first layer and not within the compositional ramp. At least the portion of the first layers within the first plurality of mirror periods include elevated doping concentrations at locations of the nulls of the optical field.

Abstract: Improved slope efficiency in a VCSEL can be accomplished by selecting particular mirror layer compositions and/or mirror layer configurations that minimize increased reflectivity in the top mirror and/or maximize increased reflectivity of the bottom mirror with increasing temperature. Improved reflectivity of the bottom mirror compared to the top mirror over a desired operating temperature range can be facilitated by (i) selecting mirror pairs for the bottom and/or top mirror that gives the bottom mirror pairs a greater increase in contrast ratio with increasing temperature compared to the top-mirror pairs, and/or (ii) including fewer mirror pairs in the bottom mirror than the number of mirror pairs that would give optimal reflectivity.

Abstract: Methods of conducting wafer level burn-in (WLBI) of semiconductor devices are presented wherein systems are provided having at least two electrodes (210, 215). Electrical bias (920) and/or thermal power (925) is applied on each side of a wafer (100) having back and front electrical contacts for semiconductor devices borne by the wafer. A pliable conductive layer (910) is described for supplying pins on the device side of a wafer with electrical contact and/or also for providing protection to the wafer from mechanical pressure being applied to its surfaces. Use of a cooling system (950) is also described for enabling the application of a uniform temperature to a wafer undergoing burn-in. Wafer level burn-in is performed by applying electrical and physical contact (915) using an upper contact plate to individual contacts for the semiconductor devices; applying electrical and physical contact using a lower contact plate (910) to a substrate surface of said semiconductor wafer; providing electrical power (920) to said semiconductor devices through said upper and lower second contact plates from a power source coupled to said upper and lower contacts plates; monitoring and controlling electrical power (935) to said semiconductor devices for a period in accordance with a specified burn-in criteria; removing electrical power at completion of said period (955); and removing electrical and physical contact to said semiconductor wafer (965).
