Abstract

The invention provides a semiconductor silicon-based optical waveguide device and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the field of optical waveguide chip producing and manufacturing. The preparation method of the semiconductor silicon-based optical waveguide device comprises the following steps that (a) a bottom cladding layer is deposited on a non-polished surface of a single-surface-polished silicon wafer; (b) a lower cladding layer, a core layer and a mask layer are deposited in an overlapped mode in sequence on a polished surface of the single-surface-polished silicon wafer; (c) awaveguide channel is formed after the core layer is etched, and the mask layer is removed; and (d) an upper cladding layer is deposited on the etched core layer, and thus the semiconductor silicon-based optical waveguide device is obtained. Preferably, the mask layer is a metal mask layer, and the technical problems that quartz substrate slices are used in conventional waveguide devices, the dependency on the quality of the substrate slices is high and special quartz processing equipment needs to be ordered for manufacturing are solved. According to the preparation method of the semiconductorsilicon-based optical waveguide device, semiconductor silicon is adopted as a substrate slice, compatibility with silicon semiconductor manufacturing equipment is good, the influence of the substrateslice refractive index is avoided, and design and manufacturing are more flexible.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical waveguide chip production and manufacturing, in particular to a semiconductor silicon-based optical waveguide device and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, planar optical waveguide splitters are very popular in domestic and foreign markets. According to the report of market and technology consulting company ElectroniCast on April 5, 2016, the global planar optical waveguide splitter market totaled 696 million US dollars in 2015, a year-on-year increase of 14%. . China has now become the dominant player in the planar optical waveguide splitter market, accounting for more than 35% of the total market. Before 2012, domestic optical splitter devices were all imported from South Korea and Japan, and only packaging was available in China, and most of the profits were taken by South Korea, Japan, Europe and the United States. After years of painstaking research and developmen...
