Abstract

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing an InP monolithic microwave integrated circuit. The method comprises the following steps: an MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) is manufactured on an epitaxial layer on the front side of an InP underlay; a photoresist layer is coated to protect the MMIC, and an InP substrate is formed; the InP substrate, a sapphire double-sided polishing piece and a polished glass substrate are adhered by adopting paraffin to form a five-layer laminating structure; the back side of the InP substrate in the five-layer laminating structure is abraded, attenuated and polished; an Ni mask layer is manufactured on the polished surface of the back side of the InP substrate; part of the Ni mask layer is removed by utilizing the corrosion of HF acid; an HBr gas is used to etch the back side of the InP substrate, the InP underlay and the epitaxial layer on the front side of the InP underlay are etched to the MMIC circuit on the epitaxial layer; a Ti / Au coating is sputtered on the Ni mask layer; Au is electroplated on the Ti / Au coating; Au outside the Ti / Au coating is stripped by ultrasound to obtain a back-side metal structure; the high-temperature paraffin is thawed, and the sapphire double-sided polishing piece in the five-layer laminating structure is separated.
