Description

Airtight through sealing method for optoelectronic device packaging tube shell and optical fiber assembly
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of manufacturing of optoelectronic devices, and particularly relates to an airtight through sealing method for an optoelectronic device packaging tube shell and an optical fiber assembly.
Background
Optoelectronic devices are devices with the functions of light emission and receiving, image acquisition and display, light signal transmission and processing and the like based on the effects of light-electricity, electricity-light conversion and the like, and are widely applied to the fields of optical fiber communication, laser technology, photoelectric detection, photoelectric sensing and the like. Optoelectronic devices are typically composed of an optoelectronic chip, a package envelope (containing an optical fiber tailpipe), a cover plate, a support base (heat sink, thermoelectric cooler, etc.), and an optical fiber assembly. The photoelectric chip is the core of an optoelectronic device, integrates optical and electronic elements, and can realize the functions of interconversion between optical signals and electric signals, signal amplification, signal modulation and the like; the packaging tube shell (containing the optical fiber tail tube), the cover plate and the supporting base are external protection and supporting structures of the optoelectronic device, and play roles in mechanical support, electrical connection and sealing protection of the optoelectronic chip; optical fibers are transmission media in optoelectronic devices for transmitting optical signals. Under the non-sealing protection condition, the photoelectric chip is easy to be influenced by water vapor, dust and the like to cause failure, so that the sealing performance of the sealing cover is required to be good, the sealing performance of the tail pipe of the optical fiber is required to be good, the air tightness of any one of the two parts is not up to the standard, and the device has higher failure risk. At present, a high-performance, high-reliability and long-life optoelectronic device is generally hermetically packaged by adopting a metal tube shell, wherein the sealing of a cover plate and the tube shell adopts a mature parallel seam welding process, and the air tightness can reach 1 multiplied by 10 -5 Pa·cm 3 /s。
The difficulty in sealing optoelectronic devices is the sealing of the fiber optic assembly within the tail tube of the package, and currently two main processes are adhesive sealing and metallic solder sealing, respectively. The device sealed by the adhesive has poor stability, high temperature resistance and larger expansion coefficient, and is easy to crack when the ambient temperature changes widely, so that leakage is caused, and the sealing effect is not achieved. The device sealed by the metal solder has the advantages of high reliability, good air tightness and the like, but the competitiveness of the metal solder sealing process in certain application scenes is affected due to the problems of complex process, high cost, large limitation, environmental pollution and the like.
These two major process problems seriously hamper the development of integration of fiber optic assemblies and optoelectronic devices; and because the photoelectronic device used in the aerospace environment has higher requirements on vibration resistance, high and low temperature, air tightness and packaging material selection, the conventional adhesive sealing and metal solder sealing methods are difficult to be applied.
