1. 680nm 12mW VCSEL Bare Die for Packaging and Module Integration
The 680nm 12mW VCSEL Bare Die is a balanced 4-emitter, medium-output, multi-mode visible-red VCSEL chip and red VCSEL laser chip developed for chip-level packaging, die attach, gold-wire bonding, ceramic-submount assembly and custom VCSEL packaging.
This 4-emitter red VCSEL die provides 12mW typ. optical output under a 20mA, 25°C QCW test condition. Its 170±10μm × 170±10μm square footprint supports medium-output visible-red optical-source packaging, multi-emitter wire-bonding process evaluation and compact red VCSEL module development.
This 680nm VCSEL chip is intended for:
- OSAT semiconductor assembly and test providers
- VCSEL and laser-diode packaging companies
- SMD, TO-can and ceramic package developers
- Die-attach and wire-bonding engineering teams
- Ceramic-submount and COB integrators
- Laser-module and optoelectronic-module manufacturers
- Lens, collimation and beam-shaping companies involved in laser-source integration
- Laser bare-die, component and optical-module distributors
- Technical sourcing and second-source development teams
The VCSEL die can be integrated into custom SMD packages, TO-can packages, ceramic packages, ceramic-submount assemblies and compact optical modules. As an unpackaged semiconductor chip, it requires suitable mounting, bonding, thermal-path, package-design and optical-integration processes before use in a finished device or module.

5. Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ 1. What packaging methods are suitable for the 680nm 12mW VCSEL Bare Die?
The device can be used for die attach, gold-wire bonding, ceramic-submount assembly, chip-on-submount assembly, custom SMD packages, TO-can packages, ceramic packages and compact optical-module integration.
As an unpackaged die, it must be integrated using an appropriate mounting, bonding, thermal-path, package-design and optical-integration process.
FAQ 2. What is the positioning of the 680nm 12mW VCSEL Bare Die within the 680nm Bare Die Series?
The 680nm 12mW model is the balanced 4-emitter medium-output option in the 680nm VCSEL Bare Die Series.
It is suitable for customers requiring higher output than the 680nm 5mW single-emitter model while keeping a square 170±10μm × 170±10μm die footprint and moderate multi-emitter layout complexity. Customers requiring higher optical output can evaluate the 680nm 18mW or 50mW models.
FAQ 3. Can the wavelength, optical output, power bin, emitter configuration or package configuration be customized?
Center wavelength, wavelength tolerance, optical output, power-bin selection, emitter configuration and package-integration requirements can be discussed according to the project.
Projects requiring different output levels or emitter layouts can select from the 680nm 5mW, 12mW, 18mW and 50mW VCSEL Bare Die models or submit a custom-development request.
