Description

硅衬底悬空LED光波导集成光子器件及其制备方法
技术领域
本发明属于信息材料与器件领域,涉及一种硅衬底悬空LED光波导集成光子器件及其制备技术。
背景技术
从材料角度来看,氮化物材料特别是GaN材料,具有较高的折射率(~2.5),在可见光、近红外波段透明,是一种优异的光学材料。然而,由于SiC和蓝宝石衬底不易加工,而氮化物特别是GaN的加工技术也不成熟,限制了氮化物光子及光学微机电器件的发展。近年来,通过引入AlN/AlGaN或其它独有的缓冲层来弥补晶格失配以及热膨胀不一致引起的残余应力,基于硅衬底的高质量氮化物材料日益成熟,已经逐步走向市场。美国的Nitronex、日本的Sanken等公司已经推出了商用的基于硅衬底氮化物材料。许多学术研究机构孵化出的高科技材料企业也将其特有的材料生长技术向企业界转化,可以根据用户的需求提供4-inch甚至更大尺寸的基于硅衬底的氮化物材料。同时,氮化物材料加工技术的不断突破,这一材料体系可以和目前成熟的硅加工技术结合起来,大规模、低成本制备新颖的氮化物光电器件。基于硅衬底的氮化物材料,利用成熟的硅刻蚀加工技术,可以进行硅衬底剥离,从而可以制备出悬空的氮化物薄膜器件,为发展面向光通信、光传感的氮化物光子及光学微机电器件奠定了基础。
