Description

说明书 基于聚焦离子束刻蚀光波导的方法 技术领域
本发明涉及光学器件技术领域,具体涉及一种基于聚焦离子束刻蚀光波 导的方法。
背景技术
光波导广泛应用于制备各类光学器件中, 光波导的实验制备主要有湿法 刻蚀和干法刻蚀两种方法。其中湿法刻蚀是通过使用具有腐蚀性的酸溶液对 用于制备光波导的材料进行刻蚀并最终形成波导。 其制备原理如图 1所示, 通过使用掩膜遮挡, 使得酸溶液只对暴露在外的样品部分进行刻蚀, 被遮挡 住的部分则不会被刻蚀(注: 当作掩膜使用的物质需抗酸的腐蚀)。 正是通 过这种选择性刻蚀, 最终形成所需要的光波导结构。 湿法刻蚀由于需被刻蚀 的材料和酸溶液的反应受到诸多因素的影响, 使得刻蚀过程不易被控制。 比 如, 反应的速率和溶液的溶度、 温度、 以及压强关系密切。 在刻蚀过程中, 必须确保各种影响反应速率的因素稳定、 无波动, 否则会造成刻蚀的结果不 均一。 这种不均一的波导形状会造成光在其中传输时产生过大的损耗, 降低 器件的工作效率, 制约器件的使用范围。
对于干法刻蚀而言, 最常用的方法为等离子刻蚀(plasma etching )。 相 较于湿法刻蚀, 这种方法刻蚀速率偏低, 但是却能对刻蚀过程达到艮好的控 制。 此外, 对于光波导的侧壁, 其垂直程度会得到一定程度的改善。 但是, 使用等离子刻蚀法依然无法得到很大的刻蚀深度和很高的占空比(占空比英 文为 aspect ratio, 定义为刻蚀深度 /刻蚀宽度),这是因为虽然离子可以在加 速电场的作用下以高速轰击样品表面,但是离子轰击样品时的入射方向并非 全部完全垂直于样品表面。 如图 2中的示意图所示, 也就是说, 大部分离子 是倾斜一定的角度轰击样品表面并移除物质从而形成波导的。可见不论是使 用湿法刻蚀还是使用等离子刻蚀, 都有一个不可避免的问题, 那就是所制备 的波导的侧壁参差不齐且不垂直,都 4艮难得到大尺寸的刻蚀深度和具有超高 占空比的结构。
发明内容

具体实施方式
下面结合附图和具体实施例对本发明做进一步详细说明。
本发明使用聚焦离子束(focused ion beam, 筒记为 FIB )刻蚀方法, 其工作原理示意图如图 3所示。 经过电场加速后的镓离子通过一个聚束镜被 聚焦到样品的表面, 通过溅射反应将样品表面一定区域的物质移除掉, 进而 形成不同的结构。 这种技术无需使用掩膜, 是一种无掩膜的直接刻蚀方法。 而且,这种方法几乎适用于所有物质(对于不同物质,刻蚀速率会有所不同) 具体的, 如图 4所示, 基于聚焦离子束刻蚀光波导的方法包括:
Sl、 设计一种纳米圓环阵列结构, 所述纳米圓环阵列结构中纳米圓环互 相紧贴, 光波导的刻蚀宽度值为两倍的圓环宽度;
S 2、 将所述纳米圓环阵列结构保存到聚焦离子束刻蚀系统中;
S 3、 从聚焦离子束系统中调用所述纳米圓环阵列结构, 聚焦离子束垂直 轰击样品表面进行刻蚀, 完成制备。
在刻蚀过程中, 为了得到高的占空比(刻蚀深度 /刻蚀宽度), 必须尽 量增大刻蚀深度并减小刻蚀的宽度。 为了在最大限度内得到超高占空比的光 波导结构, 本发明特使用了一种纳米圓环阵列结构进行刻蚀, 纳米圓环阵列 结构如图 5所示,每行每列中的圓环互相紧贴,其中 r2和 ^分别表示聚焦离 子束刻蚀过程中圓环结构的外半径和内半径, 光波导的刻蚀宽度为 g=2 x (Γ2- )。 离子束对于圓环结构更容易聚焦, 大部分的离子束能量可以被 4艮好 地限制在圓环区域中, 圓环结构互相紧贴, 使得聚焦离子束在刻蚀过程中位 于圓环区域的能量能够重叠, 从而使得离子束的穿透力倍增。 在垂直方向上 以高速轰击样品表面, 使得刻蚀深度可以大幅增加, 进而使得超高占空比结 构成为可能。
在刻蚀过程中, 把刻蚀的宽度固定在最小值为 20 nm, 但由于设备系统 的误差, 刻蚀后并不一定是准确的 20 謹。 在此基础上尽可能增大刻蚀深度, 进而在最大限度内得到超高占空比的波导结构。 图 6中所示结构, 宽度为 20 nm, 深度约为 15 μ ηι ( Ι μ ηι =1000 nm=l χ 10 " 6m ) 的波导结构, 其对应的占 空比为 750。 值得注意的是, 波导结构的顶端会呈现出相对较严重的损伤, 这是由长时间的刻蚀造成的。 一方面是离子束对结构表面的损伤, 另一方面 是被刻蚀的材料再沉积到受到损伤的结构表面。 但是, 从样品表面约 2 μ ηι 以下, 波导结构就变得非常垂直且均一了。 对于波导结构的大部分区域而言 ( 2 μ ηι以下的部分), 不但刻蚀宽度极小 (20 nm ), 而且侧壁垂直、 均一, 这些都会减 d、光在波导传输过程中的损耗, 使得波导的性能大幅度提高。
使用这种方法不但可以得到具有超高占空比的光波导, 而且所制备得到 的波导结构的侧壁几乎完全垂直, 正如图 6中所示。 这种几乎垂直的侧壁会 大大降低光在其中传输时的损耗, 且由于波导宽度 4艮小, 光波的大部分能量 可以很好地限制在波导区域内。
这种圓环阵列结构可以有效降低在聚焦离子束刻蚀过程中的再沉积效 应, 从而大幅度改善器件的侧壁结构和增大刻蚀深度。 使用这种结构进行刻 蚀的另一个好处是高度可控性。 波导的结构可以通过调节圓环的内、 外径进 行有效控制。 这种结构事先被画好并保存到聚焦离子束刻蚀系统的电脑中, 需要的时候可直接调用所需的相应结构进行刻蚀。 图 7为使用传统的湿法 / 等离子刻蚀法和使用圓环结构的聚焦离子束刻蚀法的效果对比图。
运用此方法的另一个显著的优点是可以制备出互相交叉的复杂菱形光 波导, 如图 8所示。 这种结构可以被广泛用于制备法布里-珀罗干涉仪。 不 同模式的光学信号在不同的光路中传播并相互作用,通过精确控制光波的相 位和能量大小, 可以有效形成具有各种不同应用背景的光学输出。 不同光通 道中的光信号之间由于相位差而互相干涉, 并进一步形成干涉仪。
以上所述仅是本发明的优选实施方式, 应当指出, 对于本技术领域的普 通技术人员来说, 在不脱离本发明技术原理的前提下, 还可以做出若干改进 和替换, 这些改进和替换也应视为本发明的保护范围。
