  • Method for fabricating fiducials for passive alignment of opto-electronic devices
    Patent number: 6933536
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for fabricating a mechanical or visual alignment fiducial on a laser die particularly adapted for application with a laser die that is a buried structure edge emitting laser. In fabricating the device, the fiducial and the active mesa are formed in the same photolithography patterning step, using conventional techniques. The active is then buried with regrowth layers. The regrowth layers are subsequently selectively etched to expose the fiducial, leaving the active region protected and buried.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2005
    Assignee: Tyco Electronics Corporation
    Inventors: Terry Patrick Bowen, William Sean Ring, Ching-Long Jiang, Randall B. Wilson, Mark S. Soler, John Baker Breedis, Richard Anderson
