Detailed Description
As shown in fig. 1, a semiconductor laser includes: a substrate 3'; an epitaxial structure layer 4' disposed on one side of the substrate 3', the epitaxial structure layer 4' including: the epitaxial structure layer 4 'is provided with a plurality of grooves penetrating into the first bragg reflector layer 41', so that the epitaxial structure layer is divided into a plurality of mesa structures; the first electrode 1 'is arranged on the surface of one side, away from the epitaxial structure layer 4', of the substrate 3', and the first electrode 1' can be a germanium-gold-nickel-gold structure (Ge/Au/Ni/Au), a gold-germanium-nickel alloy and gold (AuGeNi/Au) structure, a gold-germanium alloy (AuGe) or a germanium-titanium-platinum (Ge/Ti/Pt/Au) structure; and the second electrode 5' is arranged on the surface of one side of the mesa structure, which is far away from the substrate 3', and the second electrode 5' is annular.
Due to lattice mismatch of the epitaxial structure layer 4 'and the substrate 3', a first internal stress is generated inside the substrate after the epitaxial structure layer 4 'is grown on the surface of the substrate 3', and the first internal stress is compressive stress; meanwhile, in order to make the first bragg mirror layer 41' and the second bragg mirror layer 43' reach sufficient reflectivity, the number of groups of high refractive index layers and low refractive index layers in the first bragg mirror layer 41' and the second bragg mirror layer 43' at least needs to reach more than 20, and the increase of the number of groups of high refractive index layers and low refractive index layers can cause the accumulation of first internal stress in the substrate, so that the substrate 3' is warped, and the middle area protrudes upwards; after thinning the substrate 3', the degree of warpage becomes greater, and the height of warpage can reach several millimeters. The warped wafer is easy to crack due to uneven stress in the transferring, testing and cutting processes, meanwhile, the wafer with overlarge warpage is difficult to focus in the microscopic examination process, vacuum suction is needed to forcedly flatten the wafer, the wafer is easy to crack and damage due to overlarge stress, and the yield of the semiconductor laser is reduced.
On the basis, the invention provides a low-warpage semiconductor laser, which comprises a substrate; an epitaxial structure layer arranged on one side of the substrate; and the anti-warping layer is arranged on the surface of one side, far away from the epitaxial structure layer, of the substrate. The low-warpage semiconductor laser has high yield.
The technical scheme of the invention is clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings.
It is to be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", and the like, as used herein, are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation, the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", and the like, as used herein, refer to an orientation or positional relationship illustrated in the drawings and are used to facilitate describing the invention herein and to simplify the description. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
Example 1
Referring to fig. 2, the present embodiment provides a low warpage semiconductor laser including: a substrate 3; an epitaxial structure layer 4 disposed on one side of the substrate 3; and the anti-warping layer 2 is arranged on the surface of one side, far away from the epitaxial structure layer 4, of the substrate 3.
Among the above-mentioned low warpage semiconductor laser, be located the anti-warping layer 2 of one side surface of epitaxial structure layer 4 makes the inside second internal stress that produces of substrate 3, the inside first internal stress that produces of substrate 3 after epitaxial structure layer 4 formation can be balanced to the second internal stress to reduce the warping degree of substrate 3 has increased the even degree of each position atress of substrate in transfer, test and cutting process, and then has reduced the broken rate, has improved semiconductor laser's yield.
Specifically, the reason why the second internal stress is generated inside the substrate in this embodiment is that:
(1) the difference of the linear expansion coefficients of the anti-warp layer 2 and the substrate 3 is as follows: in the process of depositing the anti-warping layer 2 on the substrate 3, the temperature in the chamber where the substrate is located is high; when the anti-warping layer 2 is deposited to the required thickness, the temperature of the chamber is reduced; because the linear expansion coefficient of the anti-warping layer 2 is different from that of the substrate 3, the volume shrinkage degree of the anti-warping layer 2 is different from that of the substrate 3, and therefore second internal stress is generated inside the substrate;
(2) mismatch of the interface of the anti-warp layer 2 and the substrate 3: the lattice structure of the warp-preventing layer 2 is different from that of the substrate 3; therefore, when the anti-warp layer 2 is deposited on the surface of the substrate 3 on the side far away from the epitaxial structure layer 4, second internal stress is generated inside the substrate.
In this embodiment, the material of the anti-warp layer 2 is Ti/W alloy, the mass percentage of Ti element in the Ti/W alloy is 5% -20%, and the rest is W element; or the anti-warping layer 2 is made of Ni/W alloy, the mass percent of Ni element in the Ni/W alloy is 5% -20%, and the balance is W element. Illustratively, the mass percentage of the Ti element in the Ti/W alloy may be 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5%, or 20%; the mass percentage of the Ti element in the Ti/W alloy can be 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15%, 17.5% or 20%. And regulating the magnitude of the second internal stress by limiting the mass percent of the Ti element in the Ti/W alloy and the mass percent of the Ni element in the Ni/W alloy so as to balance the second internal stress with the first internal stress, thereby reducing the warping degree of the substrate. Meanwhile, Ti or Ni has an adhesion effect, so that the anti-warping layer is stably adhered to the surface of the substrate. In addition, the warping prevention layer also has the effects of metal shielding and water vapor isolation, and can avoid that the substrate 3 deviates from one side surface of the epitaxial structure layer 4 is corroded by water vapor.
Further, the thickness of the anti-warping layer 2 is 30nm-450 nm. Illustratively, the thickness of the anti-warp layer 2 may be 30nm, 50nm, 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, 250nm, 300nm, 350nm, 400nm, or 450 nm. By defining the thickness of the warp-preventing layer 2 to be 30nm to 450nm, the magnitude of the second internal stress is defined to reduce the degree of warp of the substrate. Specifically, when the thickness of the warp-preventing layer 2 is too small, the second internal stress is too small, and the warp degree of the substrate cannot be reduced; when the thickness of the anti-warp layer 2 is too large, the second internal stress is too large, and the substrate has a risk of reverse warp, the deposition time is increased, and the preparation cost is increased.

Specifically, the first bragg mirror layer 41 and the second bragg mirror layer 43 may both be of a gallium arsenide/aluminum arsenide (GaAs/AlAs) structure; the active layer 42 includes, but is not limited to, an indium gallium arsenide/gallium arsenide phosphide (InGaAs/GaAsP), gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide (GaAs/AlGaAs), indium gallium arsenide/gallium arsenide (InGaAs/GaAs), or indium gallium arsenide/aluminum gallium arsenide (InGaAs/AlGaAs) periodic multi-quantum well structure with a mesa diameter of 8 μm to 100 μm.
In this embodiment, the low warpage semiconductor laser further includes a first electrode 1 disposed on a surface of the warpage preventing layer 2 on a side away from the substrate 3. During the test of the semiconductor laser, the first electrode 1 is coated with solder to be electrically connected with a bonding wire connected with a test device. It should be understood that the contact force between the material of the anti-warping layer 2 provided in this embodiment and the solder is weak, and the solder cannot be stably coated on the surface of the first electrode 1, so that the normal test of the semiconductor laser is affected, and therefore, the first electrode 1 needs to be deposited to ensure that the solder is stably coated on the surface of the first electrode 1. Through the cooperation setting of first electrode 1 and anti-warping layer 2, make semiconductor laser not only have lower warpage degree, improved semiconductor laser's yield, still guaranteed semiconductor laser's normal test and use.
