Description
- 1. Technical Field
- The present disclosure relates to a photoacoustic-type gas detection device and more specifically to an optical waveguide having a varying index gradient that may be utilized in the detection device.
- 2. Discussion Of The Art
- A photoacoustic gas detection device with discrete components using a sensor based on a Helmholtz resonator is described in U.S. 2011/00888453, FIG. 1 of this application being reproduced as
FIG. 1 of the drawings. - This device comprises a light source (laser) 1 modulated by a mechanical modulator 2 at an acoustic frequency. Modulated beam 3 is sent into a
tube 40 of a resonant Helmholtz cell 4 containing a gas mixture to be analyzed. This cell comprises a second tube 41 parallel to the first one. The two tubes are connected bycapillaries electret microphone tubes 40, 41. The microphone outputs are sent to a differential amplifier 8. The output of this amplifier provides a display system 9 with electric signals representative of the amount of gas present. The device also comprises an electronic assembly 7 enabling to control the mechanical modulator. Thus, when the laser wavelength corresponds to an absorption stripe of a gas, the presence of this gas and its concentration can be determined. - However, such a gas detection device formed based on discrete elements remains limited to laboratory applications. Indeed:
-
- it is difficult to find materials usable with discrete elements with transmission wavelengths greater than 2.5 μm while it would be desirable for a gas analysis to be possible at wavelengths in more remote infrared, within a range from 3 to 10 μm;
- the device is generally sensitive to temperature variations and to vibrations which may disturb the alignment;
- the implementation of the system, that is, the positioning of its elements and their alignment, must be performed by means of very accurate optical benches, which are very difficult to handle;
- the macroscopic size of the device prevents “sensor”-type applications capable of competing with non-selective chemical sensors;
- it is not possible, with such a device, to scan a wide range of wavelengths and it is very difficult to replace the laser source.
- Photoacoustic gas detection devices overcoming the disadvantages of known devices are thus needed.
- An object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide an optical waveguide waveguide having a varying index gradient.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides an optical waveguide comprising, on a silicon substrate, a silicon germanium core with a variable germanium concentration along a direction perpendicular to the substrate, the core being covered with a cladding silicon layer.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the proportion of germanium in the silicon germanium varies to obtain an index gradient with a triangular shape.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the proportion of germanium in the silicon germanium varies to obtain an index gradient with a trapezoidal shape.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cladding layer is a layer of monocristaline silicon.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cladding layer is a layer of amorphous silicon.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention, the waveguide is adapted to operate in a wavelength range comprised between 3 and 10 μm.
- The foregoing and other features and advantages of the present invention will be discussed in detail in the following non-limiting description of specific embodiments in connection with the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 , previously described, showsFIG. 1 of U.S. application 2011/00888453; -
FIG. 2A is a simplified top view of a detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 2B is a cross-section view along plane BB ofFIG. 2A ; and -
FIGS. 3A to 3D and 4A to 4D are respective cross-section views and top views of the detection device ofFIGS. 2A and 2B at intermediate steps of an example of a method for manufacturing this device. - As usual in the representation of microcomponents, the various dimensions, and especially the layer thicknesses, are not to scale. Those skilled in the art will refer to current literature on the topic and/or to the specific indications given hereafter as an example.
- An embodiment of the present invention provides forming a monolithic photoacoustic detection device. All microoptical, microelectronic, and acoustic components are formed on a same support by using micro- and nano-manufacturing techniques typical of microelectronics and of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). This ensures a degree of dimensional control, a structural stiffness, and a robustness which go far beyond what can be obtained with an assembly of discrete elements. This integration of the different components on a same substrate makes it possible to accurately control the temperature of the entire detection device by, for example, using a Peltier-effect cooler. This is particularly important due to the fact that laser sources operating in middle infrared, such as so-called quantum cascade lasers, are generally sensitive to temperature variations, which may cause wavelength shifts. Further, forming on a same support an integrated amplifier close to the optical, acoustic, and electronic elements enables to decrease the noise by amplifying low signals in an amplifier integrated in the same device. A considerable gain in signal-to-noise ratio is thus obtained. Finally, the device, due to its miniaturization and to its portability, is usable in circumstances where a device with discrete elements could not be used.
- More specifically, the detection device may comprise several integrated laser sources, which may be selectively activated and directed towards a same waveguide transmitting their beam towards an integrated Helmholtz cell. This solves the alignment problems of prior art devices.
-
FIGS. 2A to 2B respectively are a top view and a cross-section view along plane BB ofFIG. 2A , illustrating an embodiment of a microsensor according to the present invention. - These drawings are extremely simplified and are only intended to ease the understanding of an embodiment of the present invention.
-
FIGS. 2A and 2B , where the same reference numerals designate the same elements, will be generically described. - The entire structure is formed on a
single substrate 101, generally a silicon wafer coated with threelayers layer 103,layers Assembly - On a hollowed portion of
support 101 is placed anelement 105 on which semiconductor lasers, preferably of QCL (Quantum Cascade Laser) type, are formed. As an example, this assembly may be performed according to so-called heterogeneous hybridization techniques currently used in micro- and nano-manufacturing technologies. 4lasers 107A to 107D, which are normally set to different frequencies preferably ranging between 3 and 10 μm, have been shown. In practice, a larger number of lasers may be used, for example, 6 lasers respectively operating at wavelengths of 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8, 5.0 μm to cover the range from 4 to 5 μm. An advantage of QCL lasers is their miniaturization capacity and their capacity of setting the transmission wavelength, that is, each of these lasers may have a wavelength slightly variable around its reference wavelength, where this wavelength adjustment may for example result from the selection of bias currents. - According to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the layers of materials necessary to the forming of QCL lasers are directly transferred onto the support, for example, by a molecular bonding method. QCL lasers will then be directly formed on the final support. In a second version, the entire laser may be transferred by low-temperature polymer-type bonding.
- Lasers are associated with means, not shown, of power supply and modulation at an acoustic frequency. These lasers emit their radiation towards
respective couplers 109A to 109D, for example, of three-dimensional taper coupler type. Such couplers couple laser beams towards respectiveoptical waveguides 111A to 111D connected to the inputs of anoptical multiplexer 113. The multiplexer sends back the incident light of a selected one ofinput waveguides 111A to 111D to anoutput waveguide 115.Waveguide 115 emerges in afirst shell 117 of a Helmholtz resonator. This Helmholtz comprises asecond shell 119 identical to the first one and connected thereto bycapillaries gas input 127 is formed in the middle ofcapillary 121 and agas output 128 is formed in the middle ofcapillary 123.Tubes capillaries substrate 101 and all the layers which cover it. It should be noted that, above the entire structure, before forming the recesses, alayer 129, for example, SiO2, having a thickness ranging from 1 to 10 μm, will have preferably been formed over the entire structure. Thus, the top ofcavities cavity 117. - The cavities are closed by a
cap 131, preferably a silicon chip, which comprisesacoustic sensors 133 and means of connection to these sensors (not shown). -
Chip 131 orchip 101 also comprises integrated electronic circuits capable of processing the sensor signals. - According to an advantage of the present invention, all the components described hereabove may be simply formed based on a small number of layers of a nanophotonic integrated circuit.
- More specifically,
waveguides 111 and 115 are formed from a same assembly of layers that may be such as described hereabove or that may be different, according to the available manufacturing technologies and according to the targeted wavelength range. - According to an embodiment adapted to an operation in a wavelength range between 3 and 10 μm where the light-gas interaction is maximum,
layer 102 is a silicon layer, the couplers and the cores of the optical waveguides are formed in agermanium layer 103 andcladding layer 104 also is a silicon layer. Given that the germanium layer and the silicon cladding layer are obtained by growth above a single-crystal semiconductor layer, they may favorably be single-crystal layers. These layers may also be replaced with a SiGe layer comprising a variable Ge concentration along the direction perpendicular to the substrate, thus forming a layer with a gradient index which may have a triangular or trapezoidal profile. - According to another alternative embodiment, the support layer of each waveguide may be made of silicon and the cladding layer may also be made of silicon nitride. This embodiment is particularly well adapted to an operation within a wavelength range from 3 to 6 μm.
- The operating mode of the Helmholtz cell sensor will not be described in detail since, as to principles, it is identical to that of a discrete system, with the advantage of being able to operate simultaneously with several integrated lasers, and to be able to operate within a wide range of wavelengths, given the specific features of integrated waveguides.
- It should be understood that, if an SOI-type structure is used, the various electronic components intended for the amplification of the signals and for their analysis may be formed in the same structure.
- Various embodiments with different variations have been described hereabove. Those skilled in the art may combine various elements of these various embodiments and variations without showing any inventive step.
- As a variation, instead of being coupled to waveguide(s) 111 by couplers 109, laser(s) 107 could be arranged above these waveguides and be coupled by evanescent waves.
-
FIGS. 3A to 3D and 4A to 4D respectively are cross-section views and top views illustrating successive steps of an example of a method for manufacturing a detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention. -
FIGS. 3A and 4A show asubstrate 101 coated with an assembly oflayers single layer 140. This structure may correspond to a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer where the above-mentioned layers generally are a silicon oxide layer and a silicon layer. It could however be started from any substrate compatible with a micro- and nano-manufacturing technology. The first layer may result from the deposition and/or from an epitaxial growth of a layer having a first optical index ncl, typically silicon, but also for example MgF2, CaF2, SrF2, BaF2, PbF2, CdF, GaAs, AlGaAs, InP, InAs, InSb, ZnS, CdTe, or Al2O3. The second layer may result from any deposition and/or from an epitaxial growth of a layer having an optical index nc>ncl, typically SiGe or Ge, but also possibly MgF2, CaF2, SrF2, BaF2, PbF2, CdF, GaAs, AlGaAs, InP, InAs, InSb, ZnS, CdTe, or Al2O3. It should be noted that the second layer is especially intended to form the core of an optical waveguide and nc designates the index of this core. The first layer is especially intended to form the optical cladding layer of an optical waveguide, whereby its index is named ncl. - The second layer is etched to form photonic components (guide, coupler, multiplexer, focusing or filtering device if necessary). Advantageously, these patterns are manufactured by structuring of a simple layer by photolithography and selective etching. The portion corresponding to the waveguides is coated with a second optical cladding layer of index ncl2<nc. This cladding layer will typically be made of silicon and may be made of MgF2, CaF2, SrF2, BaF2, PbF2, CdF, GaAs, AlGaAs, InP, InAs, InSb, ZnS, CdTe, or Al2O3 to define the guide structure. Advantageously, the material of the second cladding layer will be the same as that selected for the first cladding layer.
- At the step illustrated in
FIGS. 3B and 4B ,substrate 101 is etched to receive achip 142 containing the different laser source(s).Chip 142 is transferred, aligned, and attached tosubstrate 101 by a ball surface mounting or by eutectic bonding, for example, a gold layer on the substrate and a Sn layer on the chip and a thermal processing to form an Au—Sn alloy. According to a variation, the laser(s) may be formed by transfer of the multilayer forming the active medium of a QCL laser by molecular bonding, and the substrate having received the multi-layer growth (typically GaAs) is bonded to the main substrate on the multilayer side. The GaAs is then removed. After this, the layer is shaped as described, for example, in Applied Physics Letters 91 (2007) 231101 to form the active QCL laser. - At the step illustrated in
FIGS. 3C and 4C , the entire structure is coated with an encapsulation layer corresponding to layer 129 mentioned in relation withFIG. 2B . - At the step illustrated in
FIGS. 3D and 4D ,encapsulation layer 129,underlying layers 140 andsubstrate 101 are hollowed at the locations wherecavities cap 131 described in relation withFIG. 2B is coated to obtain the final integrated component. - Such alterations, modifications, and improvements are intended to be part of this disclosure, and are intended to be within the spirit and the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the foregoing description is by way of example only and is not intended to be limiting. The present invention is limited only as defined in the following claims and the equivalents thereto.
