In 1972, Somekh s and Yarive a proposed the concept of integrating optical devices and electronic devices on the same semiconductor substrate, and semiconductor photoelectric integration promoted the development of human science and technology again due to its advantages of high integration level, large amount of information, high speed, and the like.

However, the prepared optical and electronic devices are not compatible in structure, high in production cost and long in process period, and further development of the optical and electronic devices is restricted.
Therefore, it is very important to prepare a monolithic same-layer optoelectronic integrated device which makes the structure between the optical device and the electronic device compatible.

Wherein, step S2 includes:
s21, introducing the HF etching protective layer 006 and the p-type doped Si layer 005 by using a dry etching process;
the dry etching refers to a technique of performing thin film etching using plasma.
S22, dry etching process is adopted, and HF: HNO with concentration ratio of 1:2.5:10 is adopted3:CH3And etching the p-type Ge-doped layer 004 and the intrinsic GeSn layer 003 by COOH to form a light-emitting device region, a waveguide region, a detector region and an isolation groove which are isolated in sequence.
Wherein the light emitting device region includes: a luminescent device intrinsic GeSn layer 0031, a luminescent device p-type doped Ge layer 0041, a luminescent device p-type doped Si layer 0051 and a luminescent device protective layer 0061; the waveguide region includes a waveguide intrinsic GeSn layer 0032; the detector region includes: a detector intrinsic GeSn layer 0033, a detector p-type doped Ge layer 0042, a detector p-type doped Si layer 0052 and a detector protection layer 0062.

In addition, the light emitting device region, the n-type doped Si substrate 001, and the n-type doped Ge layer 002 collectively form a laser.
S3, introducing SiH4And O2Depositing an isolation layer 007 in the isolation trench;
wherein the isolation layer 007 is made of SiO2Forming a material with the thickness of 20nm-50nm, preferably 20 nm;
referring to fig. 2i and fig. 2j specifically, fig. 2i is a schematic process flow diagram of a method for manufacturing a monolithic same-layer optoelectronic integrated device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2j is a schematic top view structure diagram of the monolithic same-layer optoelectronic integrated device manufactured by the process corresponding to fig. 2i according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Wherein, SiO2The isolation layer 007 isolates the light-emitting device region from the waveguide region and isolates the waveguide region from the detector region, so that the electrical isolation effect is achieved, and the photoelectric devices at two ends are prevented from generating a parasitic effect.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating transmittance simulation of isolation layers with different thicknesses at different wavelengths according to an embodiment of the present invention, where as shown in fig. 3, the longer the wavelength is, the less the influence of the interface is; the effect of the substantially 20nm thick spacer layer 007 on light transmission is substantially the same as that without the spacer layer, with little substantially negligible effect on the overall light transmission; when the spacer layer 007 is gradually thickened, the transmittance is gradually decreased, and the transmittance is more decreased as the thickness is increased.
The above conclusion is because the scattering loss and reflection of the spacer layer become larger and larger with increasing thickness, resulting in an increase in coupling loss. At a wavelength of about 1.75 μm, the coupling efficiency between the waveguide and a device without and with the isolation layer 007 and with a thickness of 20nm of the isolation layer 007 is substantially 84% -85%, while the coupling efficiency with a thickness of 50nm of the isolation layer 007 is substantially 81% -82%. This indicates that the effect of the spacer layer 007 on the loss between the device and the waveguide is not negligible.
S4, depositing a covering layer 008 on the waveguide region;
specifically, referring to fig. 2k and fig. 2l, fig. 2k is a schematic process flow diagram of a method for manufacturing a monolithic same-layer optoelectronic integrated device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2l is a schematic top view structure diagram of the monolithic same-layer optoelectronic integrated device manufactured by the process corresponding to fig. 2k according to the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, a covering layer 008 is added on the waveguide region, wherein the covering layer 008 is formed by α -Si material and has a thickness of 800nm-840nm, fig. 4 is a simulation diagram of transmittance of the device under different wavelengths when no covering layer and a covering layer are provided according to the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 4, the addition of the covering layer 008 can reduce coupling loss, which is substantially the same as the case of coupling the optical fiber with the device, and can reduce loss compared with the sidewall design.
In addition, the waveguide region comprises a conical transition waveguide region and a rectangular waveguide region, and two sides of the conical transition waveguide region can be in different shapes, such as a linear type, a convex type and a concave type. As shown in figure 5-1 of the drawings,
fig. 5-1 is a schematic top-view structure diagram of a linear tapered transition waveguide region provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5-2, fig. 5-2 is a schematic top-view structure diagram of a convex tapered transition waveguide region provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5-3, and fig. 5-3 is a schematic top-view structure diagram of a concave tapered transition waveguide region provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The longer the length of the tapered transition waveguide, the smaller the change size in the propagation direction, but the nonlinear increase, and the loss decreases less and less with the increase of the length, so the transmission loss of light is less affected.
Fig. 6-1 is a schematic diagram illustrating simulation of influence of different shapes of tapered transition waveguide regions on the projection degree under different wavelength conditions according to an embodiment of the present invention, where as shown in fig. 6-1, a concave transition waveguide increases transmission loss, and a convex transition waveguide is advantageous in fixed transition length transmission, and a longer transition wavelength is selected as much as possible under the permission of practical application.
Fig. 6-2 is a schematic diagram illustrating simulation of influence of different tapered transition waveguide lengths on transmittance under different wavelength conditions according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6-2, a tapered transition waveguide length L ranges from 5 μm to 15 μm, and transmittance is the best when the tapered transition waveguide length L is 15 μm, but in a device design process, the tapered transition waveguide length L is not too long, and therefore the tapered transition waveguide length L is preferably 10 μm.

Wherein, step S5 includes:
introducing SiH under a first preset condition4And NH3A compressive stress film 009 with a thickness of 10-20nm is deposited on and over the spacer layer 007, on and over the cladding layer 008, and on and over the waveguide region by a PECVD (Plasma Enhanced chemical vapor Deposition) process.

In order to allow the chemical reaction to proceed at a relatively low temperature, the activity of the plasma is utilized to promote the reaction.
The compressive stress film 009 generates compressive stress to the waveguide.
Referring specifically to fig. 2p and 2q, wherein,
fig. 2p and 2q are a schematic diagram of a right-view principle and a schematic diagram of a top-view principle of intrinsic compressive stress of the compressive stress film on the waveguide provided by the embodiment of the present invention, respectively, as shown in fig. 2p and 2q, the high-energy particle bombardment is introduced by using the low-frequency power source, so that atoms or ions of the compressive stress film 009 are combined or redistributed, that is, the compressive stress film 009 becomes compressive and is stretched or expanded, thereby generating intrinsic compressive stress on the waveguide.
The intrinsic stress is also called internal stress, and is generated in the film deposition growth environment (such as temperature, pressure, gas flow rate, etc.). If the film has a tendency to shrink along the film surface, the matrix generates tensile stress on the film, and conversely, the expansion tendency of the film along the film surface causes compressive stress. The intrinsic stress is closely related to the preparation method and the process of the thin film, and is different with the difference of the thin film and the base material.
Under the condition that other process conditions are not changed, the higher the first temperature is, the larger the formed waveguide compressive stress is; under the condition that other process conditions are not changed, the higher the first pressure is, the smaller the formed waveguide compressive stress is; under the condition that other process conditions are unchanged, the higher the low-frequency power is, the higher the formed waveguide compressive stress is. And the magnitude of the pressure stress has a certain linear relation with the first temperature, the first pressure, the low-frequency power and the first gas flow rate. The compressive stress satisfies the following formula:
the first temperature is related to the compressive stress, Tc is-1.0 × T-463.6;

And the magnitude of the tensile stress has a certain linear relation with the second temperature, the second pressure, the radio frequency power and the second gas flow rate.
