Methods for fabricating vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) on a large wafer are provided. An un-patterned epi layer form is bonded onto a first reflector form. The first reflector form includes a first reflector layer and a wafer of a first substrate type. The un-patterned epi layer form includes a plurality of un-patterned layers on a wafer of a second substrate type. The first and second substrate types have different thermal expansion coefficients. A resulting bonded blank is substantially non-varying in a plane that is normal to an intended emission direction of the VCSEL. A first regrowth is performed to form first regrowth layers, some of which are patterned to form a tunnel junction pattern. A second regrowth is performed to form second regrowth layers. A second reflector form is bonded onto the second regrowth layers, wherein the second reflector form includes a second reflector layer.

In a contact hole of an interlayer insulating film, a tungsten film forming a contact plug is embedded via a barrier metal. The interlayer insulating film is formed by sequentially stacked HTO and BPSG films. The BPSG film has an etching rate faster than that of the HTO film with respect to a hydrofluoric acid solution used in wet etching of preprocessing before formation of the barrier metal. After the contact hole is formed in the interlayer insulating film, a width of an upper portion of the contact hole at the BPSG film is increased in a step-like shape, to be wider than a width of a lower portion at the HTO film by the wet etching before the formation of the barrier metal, whereby an aspect ratio of the contact hole is reduced. Thus, size reductions and enhancement of the reliability may be realized.
