摘要：

We present experimental data on the reliability of SU-8 polymer when used as a core material for the integration of microlenses on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). The respective effects of a hot and humid environment on structural, mechanical and optical properties of this epoxy resist are investigated. High aspect-ratio SU-8 micropillars are found to keep a good surface morphology and a stable optical transmission, as well as a good adherence on the wafer. Thermal cycling is also studied to check material stability under electro-thermal actuation in SU-8 micro-opto-electro-mechanical system (MOEMS). These results are of great importance for the collective integration of low-cost SU-8-based passive or active microlens arrays onto VCSELs wafers for optical interconnects and optical sensing applications.
