Abstract
This letter reports the flip-chip bonding of an 8 × 8 array of free standing VCSEL's to a foundry fabricated GaAs metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MESFET) smart pixel array. The VCSEL's have oxide defined apertures and are co-planar bonded directly to smart pixels which perform the selection function of a data filter. The Vth and series resistance of the VCSEL's were on average approximately 2.1 V and 250 Ω, respectively, which indicates that good electrical contact was obtainable with this process. The Ith ranged between 2-4 mA, with a corresponding output power of between 400 μW and >1.0 mW depending on aperture size.
