Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of monolithic photoelectric fusion heterogeneous integration, in particular to a heterogeneous photoelectric fusion integrated system based on wafer-to-wafer bonding.
Background
With the development of information technology and the continuous improvement of the demand for data transmission speed, the electric transmission mode gradually encounters the bottleneck, the problems of low speed, high energy consumption and the like exist, photons have the advantages of high bandwidth, low jitter and the like, and the optical and electric fusion becomes a great technical development trend in combination with the advantages of technology maturity and the like of an electronic circuit, and the core technology focuses on chip-level photoelectric integration and simultaneously exerts the advantages of electricity and light through an integration technology. The photoelectric fusion chip comprises a photoelectric device and an electronic circuit, wherein the photoelectric device comprises a laser, a modulator, a photoelectric detector and the like, and the electronic circuit comprises a driving circuit and an amplifier circuit which are formed by field effect transistors. The integrated implementation mode of the photoelectric fusion chip comprises single-chip integration and hybrid integration, so that the hybrid photoelectric integration research is the greatest at home and abroad at present, each chip module can be independently manufactured, the process is relatively simple, the implementation is easy, the integration level is relatively low, the integrated chip is contrary to the development trend of the integrated photoelectric system, and meanwhile, the problems of high process cost, parasitic effect and the like are also caused.
The optoelectronic device and the electronic circuit are integrated on the same substrate by utilizing the monolithic photoelectric integration technology, so that the electric and optical interconnection distance can be reduced, the adverse effect of parasitic parameters on an integrated system is greatly reduced, and the stability and reliability of the integrated system are improved. Meanwhile, the integration level can be improved through the on-chip integrated laser, and low-power consumption and high-speed signal transmission and processing are realized. The adoption of the monolithic integration technology accords with the trend of the integration of the photoelectric chip and has a plurality of advantages.
At present, the most mature of the monolithic photoelectric integration technology is silicon-based monolithic integration technology and indium phosphide monolithic integration technology. The two material platforms are characterized in that: indium phosphide belongs to a second-generation semiconductor material, and has the advantages of high saturated electron drift velocity, strong radiation resistance, good thermal conductivity and high photoelectric conversion efficiency, but has the advantages of higher cost, large loss and difficulty in large-scale integration. The silicon-based material has the advantages of compatibility of Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process, low cost, high compactness, mature process and the like, is favorable for realizing large-scale integration of the photoelectric chip, and is the most widely applied material of the single-chip integrated photoelectric fusion chip at present. Advantages of various materials such as excellent electro-optical performance of lithium niobate, low loss, low polarization sensitivity, high process tolerance, high refractive index of silicon material and the like can be exerted by monolithically integrating various materials such as silicon nitride, lithium niobate, silicon oxide, III-V, and the like. Currently, the monolithically integrated multi-material system photoelectric fusion chip system is mostly based on wafer bonding, for example, the Chinese patent application with the publication number of CN111474745B is a multi-material system based photoelectric monolithic integration system, the wafer bonding belongs to a front-end process, and high-temperature processes such as oxidation, PECVD, LPCVD and the like exist in a heterogeneous integration process, so that thermal mismatch between interfaces of lithium niobate and other materials is easy to occur, thereby causing reliability problems. The wafer bonding integrated area is large, and the high temperature process tolerance is small, so that the bonding position and the process sequence are fixed, and the photoelectric fusion chips with different functions are difficult to flexibly realize.
No description or report of similar technology is found at present, and similar data at home and abroad are not collected.
