The invention provides a kind of vacuum cleavage and directly use the method for SiN passivated semiconductor laser cavity surface in a vacuum.It is characterized in that comprising following step:
Step 1. is carried out semiconductor laser chip attenuate and is cleaved into rectangle; It is pending to mark the cleavage line with scribing machine at the good chip of laser of cleavage.
Step 2. is put into the semiconductor laser chip handled well on the special-purpose anchor clamps, the anchor clamps that carry semiconductor laser chip is put on the shelf of vacuum cleavage coating machine and then is put in the vacuum cleavage coating machine.
Step 3. is by operating cleavage semiconductor laser chip in a vacuum, and the good semiconductor laser bar bar of cleavage evaporation SiN passivating film in a vacuum.
Step 4. is closed chip pumps and is taken out the bar bar after passivation is finished, install with the special-purpose coating clamp bar bar that passivation is good, utilizes full-automatic coating machine at the bar bar front facet evaporation anti-reflection film that installs, at rear facet evaporation high-reflecting film.
In the such scheme, the described SiN thin-film material of step 3 as the vacuum cleavage after the passivating film material of passivated semiconductor laser in a vacuum.
Income effect of the present invention
The advantage that the present invention has is carried out cleavage and passivation for utilizing vacuum cleavage passivation coating machine noise spectra of semiconductor lasers, the chamber face of having avoided semiconductor laser to contact with air in the cleavage process and having caused the new cleavage to come out is polluted by impurity such as airborne oxygen and carbon, especially utilize SiN effectively to utilize the physics of SiN and the advantage of chemical characteristic as passivating film: 1. have the big energy gap of 4.15eV, it is right effectively to form
