Embodiment 1

[0019] Embodiment 1: A kind of technology that polyimide makes ridge waveguide device planarization, the steps are as follows: S1, polyimide is coated on the surface of the sample, and the sample is a double-groove ridge laser, such as figure 1 As shown, after coating as figure 2 shown.

[0020] S2, the polyimide on the sample is cured, the flow of protective nitrogen gas is 30sccm during curing, the structure diagram after curing is as follows image 3 shown.

[0021] S3. Etch the cured polyimide on the surface of the sample through a microwave degumming machine. The power of the microwave degumming machine is 50W~120W, and the flow rate of oxygen is 20sccm~200sccm. The etching time depends on the depth of the groove and the thickness of the glue. implementation; after etching as Figure 4 shown.

Abstract

The invention discloses a technology of planarizing a ridge waveguide device by using polyimide. The technology comprises the following steps of S1, coating the polyimide on a sample surface; S2, solidifying the polyimide on a sample, and during solidification, maintaining the flow of a nitrogen gas to be 30sccm; and S3, through a microwave degumming machine, etching the solidified polyimide on the sample surface. In the invention, the microwave degumming machine is used to carry out etching so as to realize planarization, and a microwave discharge etching rate and efficiency are high; ion bombardment damages are small and radiation damages are small too; and an electrode in a discharge internal portion can be covered by an insulating material. In the technology, a microwave method and a solidification technology are combined and are used in polyimide dielectric film planarization so that a device damage risk and planarization technology difficulty are greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photolithography technology for manufacturing semiconductor devices, in particular to a technology for flattening ridge waveguide devices by polyimide. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of optical communication technology, the bandwidth requirements of optoelectronic devices are getting higher and higher. It is not only necessary to optimize the device structure, but also to innovate the dielectric manufacturing process to reduce capacitance. Surfaces with etched grooves or holes usually require dielectric filling to achieve good fabrication of electrodes. For example, for a ridge waveguide high-frequency laser with a wavelength of 1.3 / 1.5um, it is required to fill in the 7um channels on both sides of the ridge waveguide depth of about 1.7um. Polyimide, removed elsewhere, the buried structure requires a planarization process to achieve. [0003] There are usually three methods to ...
