【先前技術】 將光纖連接至包含光波導的平面光學模組之方法可分 成主動連接方法或被動連接方法。主動連接方法包含切割 與拋光一件光學模組,如此讓光纖區塊(或光纖)靠近並在 光學上對準具有露出剖面的光波導陣列(或波導)、讓光線 通過光纖到達光學模組的光波導,並且調整光纖區塊(或光 纖)的位置’將光纖區塊(或光纖)固定或附加至光學模組上 從光波導所發出光線亮度最大之處,藉此達成光波導與光 纖之間的光校準與固定。在此,光纖區塊就是兩端都經過 2與抛光以及平行校準並且固定至同—直線上一平板與 纖=板之間形成的v形溝槽(此後稱為「v溝渠」)之光 例如田认士 一丨认初文饮々成匕言罝接形成一種、麵 用於在光纖模組本體上校準/gl定光纖的一廷 ::不需用到像是光纖區塊的個別機構,並且將另 槽内’使用光學模組本身上形成的實體校準爲 200941053 執行光波導與光纖間之光學校準和固定。 、、傳統光纖校準/耦合至光波導主要使用主動連接方 法原因疋主動連接方法測置通過光波導的光線亮度,將 光纖固疋在光學模組上最佳位置,因此確定足夠的校準精 確度(9μπ!光纖核心直徑時為1μιη或以下)。另一方面主 動連接方法具備好幾μιη的不良校準精確度。不過,因為 主動連接方法必須在每—裝置内使用昂貴的光纖區塊,並 且使用昂責的校準設備將光龜塊校準/固定至每一裝 置,所以製造該光學模组相當耗時與耗費成本。 為了解決主動連接方法使用光纖區塊的問題,所已提 出許多被動連接方法。日本專利第2982861號揭示一種使 用「矽」基板的「氧化矽」光波導模組之光纖之主動連接 結構H切基板上製造氧㈣光波導的方法,並且使 用非等向財晶㈣㈣成V溝渠(V溝槽),來固定與氧化 矽光波導校準的光纖。運用該方法,可相對而言快速形成 溝槽,以便在光學模峰板上手動連接光纖。不過,卻難 以將此方法付諸實施,因為基於許多原@而無法在形成校 準結構時提供Ιμιη或町足夠的精確度。此外,適用於此 方法的矽基板具僙大約3xl〇-6/C3C的熱膨脹係數,這遠差於 形成光波導的氧化矽材料〇5xl〇-6/〇c的熱膨服.係數。因 此’應力會施加於光學模組的光波導上,在光波導内產生 雙折射(即是其中波導材料的反射係數根據光偏振方向與 基板水平或垂直而在0.0005至0 001之間改變的現象)。鲈 果,光學模組的特性取決於光的偏振狀態,即是產生的極 * 200941053 化相依耗損(PDL,“polarization dependent loss,,)等等。因 此近來,廣泛使用在氧化發基板而非發基板上製造光波 導的技術,例如用戶光學通訊網路内使用的光分配器,此 網路稱為光纖到府(FTTH,“fiber-t〇the_h_”)網路。在本' 卷月:中,當在非結晶介電基板上,像是例如氧化矽的融 熔石英基板,形成光波導時,使用傳統方法難以形成v溝 渠,關鍵點在於在光學模組基板上如何與光波導一起形成 0 光纖固疋溝槽,以便手動連接光纖。 首先’檢視傳統形成光纖區塊V溝渠的方法是否可用 來在光學模組基板上形成溝槽,可使用石夕或氧化石夕基板來 製造傳統光纖區塊。在石夕光纖區塊的案例中,利用半導體 光微影姓刻處理,往方向110在石夕基板100内形成用來护 成溝槽的矩形溝槽圖樣,並且運用石夕結晶基板的特性將基 板浸泡在KOH⑽溶劑内來㈣矩形溝槽圖樣形成溝样 (此後稱為「非等向性钱刻」),此溝槽停止於表面⑴" ❹=航料,可同岐迅速切基㈣形成級導與V溝 不過’當基板由氧化石夕形成時,因為氧化石夕為非姓曰 材料’所以不可能使用非等向祕刻方法形成v溝準; 此,當製造氧化石夕光纖區塊時’使用具有V形刀刀的旋韓 拋光工具來作為V溝渠之氧化石夕基板表面抛光方法 過,該方法不適用於同時形成V溝渠和光波導。因為且: 特定半徑的旋轉拋光工具係旋轉並且在v溝渠的移動㈣ 内移動’所以旋_光工具可拋光位在V溝渠延伸線上: 200941053 與v溝渠對準的光波導。 針對使用旋轉拋光工具形成對準溝槽的方法以外之解 決方案’可考慮使用半導體光微影蝕刻處理的氧化矽基板 之乾蝕刻方法。韓國專利申請案第10-2005-23238號,標 「Fabrication Method of Optical Module for Enabling Passive Alignment Between Optical Waveguide and Optical F i b e r」’其中光波導核心圖樣和光纖校準溝槽圖樣再相同遮 罩上對準v如此光纖校準溝槽透過與形成光波導核心相同 的處理來形成’藉此在基板表面上自動校準光波導與光纖 校準溝槽。 在此具體實施例内,校準溝槽使用U溝渠,並且插入 u溝渠的光纖與U溝渠的左、右和下表面三點接觸來動態 固定光纖。不過,光纖的直徑容許值為±1μπ1,如此在此方 法中’在光纖與U溝渠之間由於垂直與橫向直徑容許值而 產生校準誤差。此外,當光纖已插入U溝渠内,該υ溝渠 必須具有大於光纖直徑的寬度,也就是,一固定光纖容許 值。 進一步,雖然在傳統方法内,光波導與光纖之間的垂 直校準由U溝渠的姓刻深度所決定,如此在υ溝渠的银刻 期間會使用具有精確度高達2%的姑刻設備,產生至少2μιη 的蝕刻容許值(傳統上,因為光纖的直徑為125μιη&且光波 導的上層厚度為30μιη’所以U溝渠必須钮刻至大約ιοομιη 的深度)。因此,U溝槽内的光纖具有對應至光纖直徑容許 值總合的垂直與水平校準誤差、U溝渠的插入容許值以及 200941053 由於姓刻一致性的餘刻容許值。 此外’即使當u溝渠的钱刻深度由化學汽相沈積(CVD, “chemical哪沉deposition”)或層的乾蝕刻所補償,CVD層 可沈積在U溝槽的兩側壁上而窄溝渠,或以預定角度 用一傾斜方式蝕刻U溝槽的兩側壁而拓寬u溝渠。也就 是,保形沈積或蝕刻過切可根據其拓寬1;溝渠深度改變寬 度,因此導致光纖校準誤差。其他專利申請案 〇 PCT/KR2()()2/()義4則揭露—種類似於傳統方法的技術。 【發明内容】 本發明的目的在於提供—種光學模組搞合結構及製造 該結構之料,討絲校準並將_或麵餘合至像 是光纖、球面鏡、光波導等等在平介電基板上製造在光學 模組内的光學組件。 尽發明的另 η…-风货尤学模組耦合結構及製造該 =構的方法,當光纖連接至光學模_,該結構可提高生 力並且降低包3光波導的氧切基板之光學模組製造成 本。 及製又另—目的在於提供—種光學模_合結構 光波導水平校準,並且妒媸 土低上系尤纖興 (盘水抑μ ‘ 據讀刻、沈積料處理條件 水千㈣㈣)垂直校準錢,藉此改善產量與處理彈 種光學模組耦合結構 本發明的再另一目的在於提供— 9 200941053 及製造該結構之方法,其可在光纖插入校準溝槽時承受施 加於溝槽結構的壓力或衝擊。 本發明的再另一目的為提供光學模組耦合結構及製造 該結構的方法,其可避免上敷鍍層沈積在校準溝槽内而減 少必須蝕刻用於垂直校準的溝槽深度,藉此提高經濟效益。 本發明的再另一目的在於提供一種光學模組耦合結構 及製造該結構之方法,其可光學校準並將光纖或球面鏡耦 合至像是雷射二極體、光二極體、發光二極體、反射鏡等 等光學耦合元件。 ^ 本發明的再另一目的在於提供一種附加球面鏡的方 法,其可藉由當球面鏡固定至校準溝槽時減少使用環氧樹 脂,來避免環氧樹脂污染球面鏡表面。 本發明的第一態樣提供一種光學模組耦合結構,其包 含一第一溝槽,該溝槽形成於基板内來支撐光學組件,以 及一第二溝槽,該溝槽内包含第一溝槽並且與固定的光學 組件間隔,其中當固定該光學組件時由第一溝槽彎角的線 q 或點來導引光學組件。 在此,「光學模組」表示一種包含光纖或球面鏡的結 構,並且其中光學通訊、光學連接、光學感應器等等當中 使用的光學裝置係配置以單一或複數個結構。 在此,「光學組件」為與光學模組光學校準的元件,由 單元光學裝置或單元光學裝置的組合所形成。在具體實施 例内,光學組件包含光纖、球面鏡、光波導、雷射二極體、 光二極體、發光二極體、反射表面等等。光學組件可整合 10 200941053 形成於基板上,或個別形成並固定至基板。 「光波導」表示減麵半導體光微影_處理的核 心之先波導。該核心具有許多剖面,像是矩形、凸起、圓 形或橢圓形。此外,光波導可為以陽刻圖案姓刻從基板表 面上突出的正波導,或在陰刻圖案的下敷鍍層内姓刻核心 來在陰刻圖案内形成核心層而:讓光波導凹陷入基板内的負 波導。 、 ❹ 基板」可為半導體基板、介電基板、玻璃基板、聚 合物基板、結晶基板或其合成基板,而特別是氧化矽基板。 第一溝槽可具有至少一個「彎角線」或「彎角點」,其 為放置在第一溝槽内部下方表面上的機械結構,用於支撐/ 固定光學鏡頭或球面鏡,藉此形成雙溝槽,其中提供光纖 或球面鏡關於光學組件的校準位置。 光纖校準用的溝槽可具有在u溝槽内形成u溝槽的結 構(此後稱為雙U溝槽)。雖然在雙u溝槽内通常使用二彎 ⑩ 角線來支撐光纖,當使用單一彎角線來支撐光纖時進一步 需要一個固定表面來支撐光纖。固定表面可與基板垂直, 或以預定角度傾斜。 雖然球面鏡校準用的溝槽可使用三個彎角線或彎角 點’當使用一或二個彎角點或彎角線時,可進一步需要一 或二個固定表面。固定表面可垂直或傾斜於基板。 第一溝槽和/或第二溝槽可具有透過半導體光微影/蝕 刻、雷射束處理、沖壓模等等來形成的許多結構,而不限 定採取何種處理技術。 11 200941053 第二溝槽可決定第-溝槽f角線或彎#距離基板表 面的深度。此外,第二溝槽可提供最小空間來容納光纖或 球面鏡。 & 光學模組可進一步包含至少〜個子溝槽速接至第一溝 槽或第二溝槽的彎角線。該子溝槽可連接炱在之間整合形 成的第一溝槽和第二溝槽。該子溝槽可幫助清除當光學組 件為光纖時將光纖黏至彎角線的灰^或污染物,並且可當 成第一溝槽與第二溝槽之間環氧樹脂的流道,如此環氧樹 脂可順暢導入溝槽以及從溝槽排出,以便夜用最少量的環 〇 氧樹脂來校準並固定光纖》 本發明的第二態樣提供-種光學模組揭合結構,其包 S在基板上形成的第-光學組件連接部分以及第二光學組 件連接部分,每-光學組件連接部分都包含〆用來支撐光 學纽件的第一溝槽以及一第二溝槽,該第二溝槽係形成以 包含第-溝槽於其内並且造有一空間,其中固定該光學組 件’其中當固定該光學組件時由第1槽彎角的線或點來 導引光學組件,並且該第-光學組件連接部分與該第二光 學組件連接部分彼此對準。 光學模組的耦合結構可進一步包含要耦合至其他光學 組件的支撐框架。例如:光學模級的耦合結構可進一步包 含要輕合光二極體或雷射二極體的支撐框架。一般而言, 利用處理基板表面可讓支撐框架整合形成於基板上。[Prior Art] A method of connecting an optical fiber to a planar optical module including an optical waveguide can be classified into an active connection method or a passive connection method. The active bonding method involves cutting and polishing an optical module such that the fiber optic block (or fiber) is brought into close proximity and optically aligned with the optical waveguide array (or waveguide) having the exposed profile, allowing light to pass through the fiber to the optical module. Optical waveguide, and adjust the position of the fiber block (or fiber) to fix or attach the fiber block (or fiber) to the optical module to maximize the brightness of the light emitted from the optical waveguide, thereby achieving optical waveguide and fiber The light is calibrated and fixed. Here, the fiber block is light which is both polished and parallel-aligned at both ends and is fixed to a v-shaped groove (hereinafter referred to as a "v-ditch") formed between a flat plate and a fiber plate. After confirming that the first drink was made into a rumor, Tian Tianshi formed a kind of face that was used to calibrate/gly fix the fiber on the body of the fiber module: no need for individual mechanisms like fiber blocks. And the entity formed on the optical module itself is calibrated to 200941053 in another slot to perform optical calibration and fixing between the optical waveguide and the optical fiber. Traditional fiber calibrating/coupling to the optical waveguide mainly uses the active connection method. The active connection method measures the brightness of the light passing through the optical waveguide, and fixes the optical fiber to the optimal position on the optical module, thus determining sufficient calibration accuracy ( 9μπ! Fiber core diameter is 1μηη or less). On the other hand, the active connection method has a poor calibration accuracy of several μm. However, because the active connection method must use expensive fiber optic blocks in each device, and use the calibrated equipment to calibrate/fix the light turtle block to each device, manufacturing the optical module is time consuming and costly. . In order to solve the problem of using the fiber block by the active connection method, many passive connection methods have been proposed. Japanese Patent No. 2982861 discloses a method for manufacturing an oxygen (four) optical waveguide on an active connection structure of an optical fiber of a "yttria" optical waveguide module using a "矽" substrate, and using an anisotropic crystal (4) (4) to form a V-ditch. (V-groove) to fix the fiber calibrated with the yttria optical waveguide. With this method, trenches can be formed relatively quickly to manually connect the fibers to the optical mode peak plate. However, it is difficult to put this method into practice because it is not possible to provide sufficient accuracy for Ιμηη or machi in the formation of the calibration structure based on many originals. Further, the ruthenium substrate suitable for this method has a thermal expansion coefficient of about 3xl 〇-6/C3C, which is far worse than the thermal expansion coefficient of the yttrium oxide material 〇5xl 〇-6/〇c which forms the optical waveguide. Therefore, 'stress is applied to the optical waveguide of the optical module, and birefringence is generated in the optical waveguide (that is, the reflection coefficient of the waveguide material changes between 0.0005 and 0 001 according to the direction of polarization of the light and the horizontal or vertical direction of the substrate). ). As a result, the characteristics of the optical module depend on the polarization state of the light, that is, the generated polarization* (PDL, “polarization dependent loss,”), etc. Therefore, recently, it is widely used in the oxidized hair substrate instead of the hair. A technique for fabricating optical waveguides on a substrate, such as an optical splitter used in a user's optical communication network. This network is called a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH, "fiber-t〇the_h_") network. In this month, When forming an optical waveguide on a non-crystalline dielectric substrate, such as a fused silica substrate such as yttria, it is difficult to form a v-channel using conventional methods. The key point is how to form a 0-fiber together with the optical waveguide on the optical module substrate. Fixing the trenches to manually connect the fibers. First, 'viewing the traditional method of forming the fiber-optic block V-ditch can be used to form trenches on the optical module substrate. You can use the Xixi or Oxide substrate to fabricate the traditional fiber-optic block. In the case of the Shixi fiber block, a semiconductor light lithography process is used to form a rectangular groove pattern for protecting the groove in the Shishi substrate 100 in the direction 110. And using the characteristics of the stone substrate to soak the substrate in the KOH (10) solvent (4) the rectangular groove pattern forms a groove (hereinafter referred to as "non-isotropic"), the groove stops at the surface (1) " The same can be used to quickly cut the base (4) to form the level guide and V groove, but when the substrate is formed by the oxidized stone eve, because the oxidized stone is a non-surnamed material, it is impossible to form the v-channel using the non-isotropic method; Therefore, when the oxidized stone fiber block is manufactured, a spin-on polishing tool having a V-shaped knife is used as the oxidized stone substrate polishing method of the V-ditch, which is not suitable for simultaneously forming the V-ditch and the optical waveguide. Because and: The rotating polishing tool of a certain radius rotates and moves within the movement (4) of the v-ditch, so the rotary-light tool can be polished on the V-ditch extension line: 200941053 The optical waveguide aligned with the v-ditch. A dry etching method using a semiconductor photolithography etching treatment of a hafnium oxide substrate can be considered for a solution other than the method of forming an alignment trench using a rotary polishing tool. Korean Patent Application No. 10-2005-23238, entitled "Fabrication Method of Optical Module for Enabling Passive Alignment Between Optical Waveguide and Optical F iber", in which the optical waveguide core pattern and the fiber alignment groove pattern are aligned on the same mask v such a fiber alignment trench is formed by the same process as forming the optical waveguide core 'by thereby automatically aligning the optical waveguide with the fiber alignment trench on the substrate surface. In this embodiment, the calibration trench uses a U-ditch, and the fiber inserted into the u-ditch is in contact with the left, right, and lower surfaces of the U-ditch at three points to dynamically secure the fiber. However, the allowable diameter of the fiber is ±1 μπ1, which results in a calibration error between the fiber and the U-ditch due to the vertical and lateral diameter tolerances in this method. In addition, when the fiber has been inserted into the U-channel, the channel must have a width greater than the diameter of the fiber, i.e., a fixed fiber tolerance. Further, although in the conventional method, the vertical alignment between the optical waveguide and the optical fiber is determined by the depth of the U-channel, so that during the silver engraving of the trench, a precision device with an accuracy of up to 2% is used, generating at least The etching allowance of 2 μm (conventionally, since the diameter of the optical fiber is 125 μm & and the thickness of the upper layer of the optical waveguide is 30 μm), the U ditch must be engraved to a depth of about ιοομιη. Therefore, the fiber in the U-groove has vertical and horizontal calibration errors corresponding to the tolerance of the fiber diameter, the insertion tolerance of the U-ditch, and the allowable value of the 200941053 due to the consistency of the surname. In addition, even when the depth of the ditch is compensated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD, "chemical deposition") or dry etching of the layer, the CVD layer can be deposited on both sidewalls of the U trench and narrow trenches, or The two trenches of the U trench are etched in a tilted manner at a predetermined angle to widen the u trench. That is, the conformal deposition or etch overcut can be broadened according to 1; the trench depth changes width, thus causing fiber alignment errors. Other patent applications PCT PCT/KR2()() 2/() 4 discloses a technique similar to the traditional method.

Pressure or shock. It is still another object of the present invention to provide an optical module coupling structure and a method of fabricating the same that avoids the deposition of an overlying plating layer in the alignment trench and reduces the depth of the trench that must be etched for vertical alignment, thereby increasing economic efficiency . Still another object of the present invention is to provide an optical module coupling structure and a method of fabricating the same that optically align and couple a fiber or a spherical mirror to a laser diode, a photodiode, or a light emitting diode Optical coupling elements such as mirrors. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method of attaching a spherical mirror which can prevent epoxy from contaminating the surface of the spherical mirror by reducing the use of the epoxy resin when the spherical mirror is fixed to the alignment groove. A first aspect of the present invention provides an optical module coupling structure including a first trench formed in a substrate to support an optical component, and a second trench including a first trench therein The slot is spaced from the fixed optical component, wherein the optical component is guided by a line q or point of the first groove corner when the optical component is secured. Here, the "optical module" means a structure including an optical fiber or a spherical mirror, and optical devices used in optical communication, optical connection, optical sensor, and the like are configured in a single or plural configuration. Here, the "optical component" is an element optically calibrated with an optical module, and is formed by a combination of a unit optical device or a unit optical device. In a specific embodiment, the optical component comprises an optical fiber, a spherical mirror, an optical waveguide, a laser diode, a photodiode, a light emitting diode, a reflective surface, and the like. The optical components can be integrated on the substrate 10 200941053 or formed separately and fixed to the substrate. The "optical waveguide" indicates the first waveguide of the core of the reduced-surface semiconductor photolithography. The core has many sections, such as rectangular, convex, circular or elliptical. In addition, the optical waveguide may be a positive waveguide protruding from the surface of the substrate by a positive pattern, or a core may be formed in the underlying layer of the intaglio pattern to form a core layer in the intaglio pattern: a negative hole for recessing the optical waveguide into the substrate waveguide. The ruthenium substrate may be a semiconductor substrate, a dielectric substrate, a glass substrate, a polymer substrate, a crystal substrate or a composite substrate thereof, and particularly a ruthenium oxide substrate. The first groove may have at least one "angle line" or "bent point", which is a mechanical structure placed on the inner lower surface of the first groove for supporting/fixing the optical lens or the spherical mirror, thereby forming a double A trench in which the alignment position of the fiber or spherical mirror with respect to the optical component is provided. The trench for fiber alignment may have a structure in which a u trench is formed in the u trench (hereinafter referred to as a double U trench). Although a two-bend 10 corner line is typically used to support the fiber in a double u-groove, a fixed surface is needed to support the fiber when a single corner line is used to support the fiber. The fixed surface may be perpendicular to the substrate or inclined at a predetermined angle. Although the groove for spherical mirror calibration can use three corner lines or corner points, one or two fixed surfaces may be further required when one or two corner points or corner lines are used. The fixed surface can be perpendicular or oblique to the substrate. The first trench and/or the second trench may have a number of structures formed by semiconductor photolithography/etching, laser beam processing, stamping dies, etc., without regard to what processing technique is employed. 11 200941053 The second groove determines the depth of the first groove or the angle of the bend from the surface of the substrate. In addition, the second groove provides minimal space to accommodate the fiber or spherical mirror. The optical module may further comprise at least ~ sub-grooves that are spliced to the first trench or the second trench. The sub-grooves may connect the first trenches and the second trenches formed between the turns. The sub-trench can help remove the ash or contaminant that sticks the fiber to the corner line when the optical component is an optical fiber, and can be used as a flow path of the epoxy between the first groove and the second groove, such a ring The oxygen resin can be smoothly introduced into the trench and discharged from the trench to calibrate and fix the optical fiber with a minimum amount of cyclic epoxy resin at night.

For example, the coupling structure of the optical mode may further comprise a support frame to be lighted to the light diode or the laser diode. In general, the surface of the substrate can be used to integrate the support frame on the substrate.

That is, when the optical fiber forms the support surface of the groove, the first groove and the second groove may be straight grooves having a specific length.

Although the above-described steps of the present invention correspond to the minimum amount of processing required to practice the invention, additional steps may be added and the order of steps may be varied without departing from the principles of the invention. The first, second and third trenches may be formed by dry etching, wet etching, laser beam processing, stamping, machining, or the like. The most efficient formation of the first and second trenches is dry etching using plasma, and the third trench is most efficiently formed by mechanical processing using spin polishing, laser beam processing or dry etching. Here, laser beam processing is a method of engraving a substrate using a high power pulsed laser. When the first, second, and third grooves are formed by dry etching, wet etching, mechanical machining, or the like, the corner line may be an acute angle.

When the substrate is formed of tantalum, the surface of the tantalum substrate may be oxidized to a thickness of about ΙΟμη to convert the surface of the substrate into a ruthenium oxide layer, or a layer of oxidized stone may be deposited on the substrate, and an optical waveguide core layer 103 may be deposited thereon. . Next, an etch mask layer (not shown) is deposited on the optical waveguide core layer 1〇3. In an exemplary embodiment, a yttria substrate having a thickness of tens of or more should be dry etched. Therefore, the etch mask must have sufficient residual selectivity' without the wattage being consumed by the enamel before completing the oxidized oxide trench structure side. The secret mask can be a metal layer formed of chrome, tungsten, chains, etc., and in the exemplary embodiment, the residual mask is formed of a network. The surname mask layer is formed by using a mask having a positive core pattern on the optical waveguide portion 2 and a mask having an intaglio first groove pattern on the optical component connecting portion 3A to form a photoresist through the light microscopic process (4). The pattern is converted into a chrome-etched mask layer, and the etched mask layer is used to surname the core layer 'by thereby forming the optical waveguide core transfer and the first-groove pattern 1〇4. The first diagram is a perspective view of a second step of fabricating a light module according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the second step, the surname is overlaid on the substrate over the optical waveguide portion 28 200941053 20 except for the optical component connecting portion 3 , and the first trench A of the optical component connecting portion 3 is pasted. The method of covering the mask portion on the optical waveguide portion 2 can be performed by covering the entire substrate with the etching mask and removing only the etching mask of the optical component connecting portion 3〇 by photolithography, or The etching mask is covered only by the stripping treatment on the optical waveguide portion 20. In this process, the first trench A of the optical component connecting portion 30 is formed. Then, remove the remaining mask remaining on the substrate. *· ❹ The second C is a perspective view of a third step of fabricating an optical module in accordance with the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Next, the substrate is heated and then cooled, using the thermal expansion of the photopolymer Shrinking the upper ore layer 1〇〇7, and immersing the substrate in the thermal photoresist removal solvent to remove the double grooves and the polymer in the oxide layer (step (e)). ❹ ❹ 'The inside of the trench is protected by the photopolymer. The reason for using the sensitizer is that the polymer outside the trench in the substrate can be quickly removed by exposure. 'But the invention is not limited to the use of a photopolymer. The polymer material is superior in heat resistance to the photopolymer, and the substrate is coated with the electric material (4) in addition to the outer layer (tetra) in the substrate. As a result of the ==, the optical waveguide is selectively accumulated. On the surface of the substrate, there is not a thickness of 20 μm or more in the trench. Because the first-specific deposit layer must be deposited in the double trench, unlike the second concrete example; the upper coating = the second trench must be (four) to the top The thickness of the ore layer, a 'so the second core is aligned.

Next, W-deposited oxidized stone particles (see Figure 5 (Fig. (2) and Figure 5 (ii)), and then heated to form a cerium oxide core layer (fifth (3) and fifth C) (lu)). Then, the core layer formed on the substrate is left to the thickness and removed (see fifth C_ and fifth C (iv)). 25 200941053 In this process, the yttrium oxide material filled in the core trench is the same as before. During the heat treatment, the thickness of the cerium oxide particle layer is reduced by two to one tenth, and the particles are melted and adhered to each other to form a cerium oxide layer. When the surface of the substrate under the particle layer has a step difference, such as a groove or a step 4, the two melted particles move smoothly in the longitudinal direction by the surface tension, so that the oxon layer is on the other hand, and therefore, yttrium oxide The thickness of the particles deposited on the optical component connecting portion 30 is minimized near the corner ridge where the fiber is fixed, such that the corner ridge is chamfered and the bottom corner of the first groove E is also dehorned and then, in the following Among the core layer removal processes (fifth c-picture (4) and fifth-degree diagram (iv)) 'because the optical waveguide portion 20 has removed the core layer other than the core trench f' and the optical component of the optical component connection portion 30 The fixed corner ridge 145 is etched along the shape of the ridge 145 of the fifth C-Fig. (iii), so the height of the ridge is lower than the surface of the substrate (not shown), and the velvet is less used to determine the vertical alignment of the fiber. The etching depth of the two trenches G. When the _light_corner ridge 145 is not required, only the etch mask of the optical waveguide portion can be removed in the second step, and the etch mask of the optical component connecting portion 3 of the second step can be performed.

The fifth F is a sixth step perspective view showing the coupling structure of the Q pre-learning module for manufacturing the third exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In the sixth step, similar to the first embodiment, a rotary polishing apparatus is used in the substrate. A third groove 181 is formed along a boundary between the optical waveguide portion 20 and the optical component connecting portion 30, and the double U-trenched optical fiber 60 is inserted to be fixed with an epoxy resin. Although the first to third embodiments are described with reference to a case in which a single fiber is used, a plurality of first trenches may be coupled to a single second trench. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the structure in which a plurality of optical module coupling structures according to the first to third exemplary embodiments of the present invention are integrated on a substrate. The structure will be described later with reference to a light distributor. The optical splitter has a single wheel-in interface and four output interfaces. The input interface is coupled to the single first trench and the single second trench, and the output interface is coupled to the four first trenches and the single second trench, ie, a multiple U trench structure in which a single trench is formed Four U grooves. Here, the diameter of the optical fiber is 125 μm, and the interval of the optical fibers is 126 μm. &lt;Fourth Exemplary Embodiment&gt; In this embodiment, a mechanism for optically aligning and fixing the optical component on a flat substrate using a spherical mirror, and manufacturing the optical transmission/reception module using the mechanism will be described. Methods. Although the following description illustrates the use of a spherical mirror to connect a laser diode to an optical fiber, this embodiment of the invention is applicable to the pairing of optical fibers, optical waveguides, light-emitting diodes, photodiodes, laser diodes, etc., and Limited by the pairing of the laser diode and the fiber. This embodiment is particularly useful in the case of using a ruthenium oxide substrate. The seventh figure is a perspective view of the optical module #1 group consumable structure according to the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The optical module coupling structure according to the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a first optical component connecting portion L and a second optical component connecting portion Μ which are connected to each other. The optical component connecting portion includes first trenches L-1 and Μ-1 formed to support the optical component, and second trenches L-2 and Μ-2 including therein the first trench and making a space for fixing the optical component . When the optical component is fixed, the optical components are guided by points or lines of the first grooves L-1 and Μ-1. The first optical component connecting portion L and the second optical component ❹ connecting portion 对准 are aligned with each other. Moreover, such a structure can be a continuous repeating structure and can have a support frame 201 coupled to an optical component such as other light sources, photodiodes, and the like. In the fourth embodiment, the first optical component connecting portion L is a fiber and the second optical component connecting portion Μ is a spherical mirror as shown in the drawing, and a structure in which the laser diode is connected to the optical mirror will be explained. The optical fiber 70, the spherical mirror 80 and the laser diode 235 are optically connected to each other, and the optical axes of the optical fiber 70 and the spherical mirror 80 should be placed in a straight line, 28 200941053 to optimize the optical connection. Further, the spherical mirror 80 is spaced apart from the optical fiber 70 by a predetermined distance in the optical axis direction. The position of the optical component in the direction parallel to the substrate is determined by the horizontal position of the calibration structure made by the mask pattern, that is, the position of the spherical mirror 80 is determined by three corner lines 226, and the position of the optical fiber 70 is composed of two curved lines. The 228 (showing only one corner line) and the fiber stop threshold 229 are determined, and the position of the laser diode 235 is determined by the metal calibration pattern 236 (see Figure 7). 〇 The metal calibration pattern 236 (see Figure 7) can be used as an electrode to supply current to the laser diode 235. Since the laser diode 235 releases appreciable heat, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the laser diode 235 for efficient heat dissipation, and a layer of germanium having good conductivity can be placed between the metal layer and the substrate. Next, the vertical height of the spherical mirror 80 with respect to the laser diode 235 is determined by the height of the three corner lines 226 in the connecting portions of the grooves M-1 and M-2, and the vertical direction of the optical fiber 70 with respect to the spherical mirror 80 The height is determined by the corner line 228 of the groove L-1 (only one is shown). Here, the position of the spherical mirror 80 can be determined by the corner point and is not limited to the corner line 226. In addition, the portion of the wire can be a surface that is perpendicular to the substrate, which can be tilted at a particular angle to the substrate. The two bottom end surfaces of the groove L-2 determine the gap between the two corner lines 228 (only one corner line is displayed) and the height of the fiber. The three bottom surfaces of the groove M-2 determine the gap between the three corner lines 226 and the height of the spherical mirror 80. 29 200941053 The bottom surface of the groove L-2 may have the same depth as the bottom surface of the groove M-2. . In this case, the height of the central axis of the optical fiber 70 and the spherical mirror 80 from the surface of the substrate can be set differently between the gap between the two corner lines supporting the optical fiber and the three curved lines supporting the spherical mirror when the mask is designed. Decide. Next, a method of manufacturing an optical module according to a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be explained. 8A to 8D are perspective views for explaining an optical module manufacturing process according to a fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8A is a perspective view showing a first step of fabricating the coupling structure of the optical module of the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The grooves L-1 and M-1 are formed in the substrate by photolithography and dry etching, similar to the first to third embodiments. Figure 8B is a perspective view showing a second step of fabricating the coupling structure of the optical module of the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. After the completion of the first step, the trench M-2 is formed by photolithography and dry etching, similar to the first to third embodiments. In this process, the depths of the grooves L-1 and M-1 from the surface of the substrate are increased. The eighth C is a perspective view showing a third step of manufacturing the optical module coupling structure of the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. After the completion of the second step, the trenches L-2 are formed by photolithography and dry etching, similar to the first to third embodiments. In this process, the depths of the trenches L-1, M-1, and M-2 from the surface of the substrate are increased. The eighth D is a perspective view showing a fourth step of the 30 200941053 optical module coupling structure for manufacturing the fourth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. First, the metal mask is calibrated in the base laser diode. The calibration metal can be said to have an individual calibration pattern to facilitate placement of the laser diode 235 in a horizontal position. Next, the laser diode 235 is placed in the calibration position and fixed thereto. Then, the spherical mirror 80 is fixed to the three corner lines 226 and attached to the three angle lines 226 by CVD. Here, the spherical mirror is attached to the three corners by depositing a layer of oxidized stone deposited by CVD in the gap between the spherical mirror and the three corner lines and on the front surface of the substrate. In this case, when the oxidized hair layer is not deposited on the grooves ^ and L_2 to fix the optical fiber, the method of the second embodiment can be used to fill the optical fiber fixing groove with a photoresist to protect the groove. 9 Spherical mirrors can be formed from materials that provide the same coefficient of thermal expansion as the substrate, preventing the spherical mirror from rupturing and separating from the substrate due to the high temperatures generated by the laser diode. For example, when the substrate is formed by a stone eve, the spherical mirror is formed of ex, and when the substrate is formed of quartz glass, the spherical mirror is also formed of quartz glass φ glass. In addition to the method of fixing a spherical mirror by CVD, a method of injecting an epoxy resin into a groove and irradiating with ultraviolet rays to solidify may be used. Next, the optical fiber 70 is inserted into the fixing grooves L-1 and l_2 and injected with epoxy resin, and then 'post-solidified to fix the optical fiber. &lt;Fifth Exemplary Embodiment> In this embodiment, a mechanism for optically aligning and fixing an optical component on a flat substrate using a 45-degree mirror, and manufacturing using the mechanism will be described. 31 200941053 Optical module coupling structure The method. In this embodiment, although the use of a 45 degree mirror to connect the optical diode to the optical fiber is illustrated, the optical diode can be optically connected to other angles of the optical fiber, and the specific embodiment can be applied to the optical fiber, the optical waveguide, Pairing of illuminators - polar bodies, laser diodes, etc., and is not limited to pairing of photodiodes and optical fibers. Again, this particular embodiment is particularly useful in the case of using an oxidized stone substrate. The ninth drawing is a perspective view of an optical module in accordance with a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the ninth drawing, the coupling structure of the optical module includes an optical component connecting portion and a -v groove having a predetermined angle, the optical component connecting portion including a first portion formed in the substrate to support the optical component a trench K-1 and a second trench κ_2, the second trench includes the first trench Κ-1 and a space in which the optical component is fixed, wherein the optical component is fixed by the first A line or point of a groove and an angle guides the optical component. The V-groove has a predetermined tilt angle to be optically coupled to the fixed fiber within the connecting portion of the optical component. For example, fiber 70 is optically coupled to photodiode 279 through a 45 degree mirror 277 (see Figure 10D). The parallel position of the optical fiber 70 and the photodiode 279 with respect to the substrate is determined by the horizontal position of the calibration structure made of the mask pattern, and is rotated by using a rotary polishing apparatus including a V-shaped blade perpendicular to the substrate and having two jersey surfaces. A ruthenium oxide substrate is used to fabricate a 45 degree mirror. The position of the fiber is determined by two corner lines 263 (only one angle line is shown) and an optical component connection portion 264, and the position of the 32 200941053 light diode 279 is determined by the metal calibration pattern 258. The metal calibration pattern 258 can be used as the electrode 279 of the photodiode. Next, a method of manufacturing an optical module coupling structure will be explained. 10A to 10D are perspective views for explaining an optical module manufacturing process according to a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10A is a perspective view of a first step of fabricating an optical module in accordance with a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The trench K-1 is formed in the 'substrate by photolithography and dry etching, similar to the first to third embodiments. Figure 10B is a perspective view of a second step of fabricating an optical module in accordance with a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. After the completion of the first step, the second trench K-2 is formed by photolithography and dry etching, similar to the first to third embodiments. In this process, the depth of the first trench K-1 from the surface of the substrate increases. Next, an electrode metal layer 258 for photodiode calibration is deposited. 0 C is a perspective view of a third step of fabricating an optical module in accordance with a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In this step, the V-grooves 266 are polished using a rotary polishing tool to form a 45-degree reflective surface. A dielectric or metal reflective layer 267 is then applied over the 45 degree surface. The tenth D is a perspective view of a fourth step of fabricating an optical module in accordance with a fifth exemplary embodiment of the present invention. First, the photodiode is placed in the calibration position and fixed here. To help position the photodiode in an accurate horizontal position, the calibrated metal mask can have individual calibration patterns. Next, the optical fiber 70 is inserted into the grooves K-1 and K-2 and an epoxy resin is injected into the groove, and then 33,410,53, and then solidified to fix the optical fiber. As can be understood from the foregoing, the effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) Since the optical fiber is not directly connected to the optical module, the manufacturing cost can be reduced. (2) Since the μ fiber is used for the two _ alignments in the double trench, a stable fiber connection can be determined. (3) Since the spherical mirror is fixed by two fixed lines in the double groove, the stable calibration spherical mirror can be determined. (4) In addition, because the fixed line or the solid point can be converted into a round surface, the possibility of damage to the calibration structure due to compression to a fixed line or a fixed point when the fiber or the spherical mirror is inserted can be eliminated. (5) The fiber or the spherical mirror is automatically calibrated in the horizontal direction of the substrate, so that the height of the fiber or the spherical mirror is adjusted in the vertical direction of the substrate, regardless of the horizontal direction. That is, the height of the fiber or the spherical mirror can be increased by depositing a CVD layer in the calibration trench, or the alignment of the trench can be reduced by dry etching to reduce the southness of the light or the spherical mirror. (6) The upper coating of the optical waveguide can be prevented from depositing in the alignment trench of the fiber or the spherical mirror, thereby reducing the calibration trench etching time of the fiber or the spherical mirror. (7) Using a CVD method, the spherical mirror can be removed into the spherical mirror calibration groove without using epoxy resin. While exemplifying the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that many modifications, additions and substitutions can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention disclosed in the application. .
