At the same time, the development trend of photonic integration technology is to pursue smaller, higher-performance, and lower-power devices, which has driven the exploration of innovative fabrication methods to achieve a high degree of integration of complex photonic functions.
[0003] Traditionally, photonic integrated devices have been fabricated using multiple docking growth techniques. While this technique can achieve a certain degree of device integration, it has significant drawbacks. On the one hand, the multiple growth processes are complex, docking accuracy is difficult to guarantee, and defects in the docking interface are easily introduced, thus affecting the optoelectronic performance and reliability of the device. On the other hand, the frequent material growth and etching steps lead to high manufacturing costs and low production efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrialization. Furthermore, existing technologies have shortcomings in achieving precise material design and performance optimization for different functional regions, such as the gain region, modulator region, and grating region, which limits the improvement of the overall device performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0021] Example 1 See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a photonic integrated device provided in this embodiment is shown, the method comprising: Step S101: performing surface layout on the substrate, dividing the substrate surface into a front modulator region, a rear modulator region, a front grating region, a gain region, and a rear grating region in sequence along the length direction; Step S102: fabricating a selective epitaxial growth mask pattern on the surface of the gain region of the substrate, wherein the selective epitaxial growth mask pattern is two parallel strips having the same length as the gain region and a preset spacing and width; Step S103: growing a first active layer on the substrate surface except for the selective epitaxial growth mask pattern, then etching away the selective epitaxial growth mask pattern, forming a first butt-joint mask pattern in the area except for the front modulator area, and etching away the first active layer outside the first butt-joint mask pattern; Step S104: growing a second active layer on the surface of the front modulator region, and then etching away the first butting mask pattern; Step S105: forming a second butting mask pattern in the area outside the front grating area and the rear grating area, and etching and removing the first active layer material in the front grating area and the rear grating area; Step S106: growing a third active layer in the front grating region and the rear grating region using a butt-joint growth technique, then removing the second butt-joint mask pattern, and fabricating sampled gratings in the front grating region and the rear grating region; Step S107: sequentially growing a cladding layer and an electrical contact layer on the surface of the entire device, and forming an inverted shallow ridge waveguide structure on the cladding layer and the electrical contact layer; Step S108: etching electrical isolation trenches on the electrical contact layer to achieve electrical isolation between the regions; Step S109: fabricating a P-side electrode on the electrical contact layer in each region, and fabricating an N-side electrode on the entire surface of the bottom of the substrate after thinning the substrate, thereby completing the fabrication of the integrated device.
[0022] The method for preparing a photonic integrated device provided in this embodiment integrates the gain region material and the two modulator materials through a single selective epitaxial growth and a single butt-joint growth, thereby integrating a wide-wavelength tunable laser with two electro-absorption modulators. Compared with the current two-butt-joint preparation technology, this method saves one active layer growth, can reduce the problem of butt-joint interface defects caused by multiple butt-joint epitaxial growths, and improves the reliability of the device; it also saves manufacturing costs and provides a solution for the integration of a wide-wavelength tunable laser and a single-ended dual electro-absorption modulator.
[0023] The following combination Figure 2-Figure 10 The above steps are demonstrated and explained in detail.
[0024] As a specific embodiment, the steps of the production method include: (1) An N-type indium phosphide substrate 10 is selected. According to the function of the integrated device, the surface of the substrate 10 is divided into a front modulator region 1, a rear modulator region 2, a front grating region 3, a gain region 4 and a rear grating region 5 along the length direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown in the figure, the front modulator region 1 and the rear modulator region 2 are both 150 microns long, the front grating region 3 is 50 microns long, the gain region 4 is 300 microns long, and the rear grating region 5 is 250 microns long. It should be noted that there are electrical isolation regions with a spacing of 50 microns between the functional regions to facilitate subsequent etching of electrical isolation trenches to achieve electrical isolation between the regions.
[0025] (2) A 150 nm thick silicon dioxide film is grown on the surface of the substrate 10, and a selective epitaxial mask pattern 11 is formed in the gain region 4. The selective epitaxial mask pattern 11 is two parallel strips with the same length as the gain region 4 and a preset spacing and width; Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 1 is a top view of the substrate surface. The length of the parallel strips in the selective epitaxial mask pattern 11 is 300 microns, the width of the strips is 12 microns, and the spacing is 20 microns.
[0026] (3) Using MOCVD equipment, a first active layer is grown on the substrate surface except for the selective epitaxial mask pattern 11. The principle of this step is that when the reaction gas reaches the mask surface, it will diffuse around the mask pattern, thereby increasing the thickness of the area between the mask patterns.
[0027] The first active layer is an InGaAsP active layer, which includes, from bottom to top, a first lower waveguide layer 12, a first multi-quantum well layer 13, and a first upper waveguide layer 14. The first lower waveguide layer 12 is 100 nm thick. The first multi-quantum well layer 13 comprises six quantum well layers and seven barrier layers that grow in a cross-growth pattern. Each quantum well layer is 5 nm thick, and the barrier layers are 9 nm thick. The first upper waveguide layer 14 is 100 nm thick.
[0028] (4) Remove the selective epitaxial mask pattern 11 by hydrofluoric acid wet etching, and make a first butt-joint mask pattern in the area other than the front modulator area 1. The first butt-joint mask pattern is a silicon dioxide butt-joint mask pattern with a mask thickness of 250nm. Remove the first active layer on the surface of the front modulator area 1 other than the first butt-joint mask pattern by ICP etching. The overall structure at this time is as follows: Figure 4 shown.
[0029] (5) A second active layer is grown on the surface of the front modulator region 1 by MOCVD equipment. The second active layer is an InGaAsP active layer. The light fluorescence wavelength of the second active layer of the front modulator region 1 is 30-60nm shorter than the light fluorescence wavelength of the first active layer of the rear modulator region. From bottom to top, it includes a second lower waveguide layer 15, a second multi-quantum well layer 16 and a second upper waveguide layer 17. Among them, the thickness of the second lower waveguide layer 15 is 80nm; the second multi-quantum well layer 16 includes 9 quantum well layers and 10 barrier layers that grow crosswise with each other, the thickness of each quantum well layer is 10nm, and the thickness of each barrier layer is 5nm; the thickness of the second upper waveguide layer 17 is 80nm. The overall structure at this time is as follows Figure 5 shown.
[0030] It should be noted here that because the active layer of the front modulator area 1 needs to have a shorter light fluorescence wavelength than the active layer of the gain area 4, one epitaxial growth cannot simultaneously meet the needs of the active layers of the gain area and the modulation area. Therefore, a silicon oxide mask is used for protection, and the active layer previously grown in the front modulator area 1 is removed, and the active layer required by the front modulator area 1 is regrown.
[0031] (6) Remove the first docking mask pattern by hydrofluoric acid wet etching, and make a second docking mask pattern 18 in the area outside the front grating area 3 and the back grating area 5. The second docking mask pattern 18 is a silicon dioxide docking mask pattern with a thickness of 250nm, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a top view of the device at this time.
[0032] (7) The active material (InGaAsP material) of the rear grating region 5 and the front grating region 3 is etched away by the ICP method, that is, the first active layer grown in step (4).
[0033] (8) The third active layer 19 is grown on the rear grating region 5 and the front grating region 3 using a butt-joint growth technique. The third active layer 19 is made of InGaAsP material, and its light fluorescence wavelength is 150nm shorter than that of the light fluorescence wavelength of the first active layer material of the gain region 4. Figure 7 The advantage of the fluorescence wavelength of the light in the grating region being smaller than that in the gain region is that the laser light emitted by the laser will not be absorbed by the grating material in the grating region, thus avoiding loss caused by material absorption.
[0034] (9) The second mating mask pattern 18 is removed by etching, and gratings 20 are formed in the front grating area 3 and the rear grating area 5.
[0035] (10) A 1.5 μm thick InP cladding layer 21 and a 300 nm thick InGaAs electrical contact layer 22 are grown on the surface of the entire device in sequence, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, an inverted shallow ridge waveguide structure is fabricated on the cladding layer 21 and the electrical contact layer 22, see Figure 9 , Figure 9 A cross-sectional view of the device.
[0036] (11) An electrical isolation groove with a width of 50 μm is etched on the electrical contact layer 22 of the ridge waveguide between each region to achieve electrical isolation between the front modulator region 1, the rear modulator region 2, the front grating region 3, the gain region 4 and the rear grating region 5.
[0037] (12) A P-side electrode 23 is fabricated on the electrical contact layer 22 of the front modulator region 1, the rear modulator region 2, the front grating region 3, the gain region 4, and the rear grating region 5. After the substrate 10 is thinned, an N-side electrode 24 is fabricated at the bottom of the entire device to complete the fabrication of the photonic integrated device. Figure 10 shown.
[0038] The method of this embodiment achieves the integration of the gain region material and the two modulator materials through a single selective epitaxial growth and a single docking growth, integrating a wide-wavelength tunable laser with two electro-absorption modulators. Compared with the previous two-dock preparation technology, this method saves one active layer growth, can reduce the problem of docking interface defects caused by multiple docking epitaxial growths, and improves the reliability of the device; it also saves manufacturing costs and provides a solution for the integration of a wide-wavelength tunable laser and a single-ended dual electro-absorption modulator.
[0039] Example 2 The embodiment of the present invention further provides a structure of a photonic integrated device, which is manufactured using the method for manufacturing a photonic integrated device described in Example 1. Figure 10 As shown, the device includes, from bottom to top, an N-side electrode 24, a substrate 10, an active layer, a cladding layer 21, an electrical contact layer 22, and a P-side electrode 23; The laser is divided into a front modulator region 1, a rear modulator region 2, a front grating region 3, a gain region 4 and a rear grating region 5 in sequence along the length direction starting from one side; Among them, the gain region 4 and the rear modulator region 2 achieve bandgap width offset through selective epitaxial material growth; the optical fluorescence wavelength of the gain region 4 is 150~200nm longer than the optical fluorescence wavelength of the materials of the front grating region 3 and the rear grating region 5, and the optical fluorescence wavelength of the front modulator region 1 material is 30-60nm shorter than the optical fluorescence wavelength of the rear modulator region 2.
[0040] In the integrated device structure provided in this embodiment, the gain region and the rear modulator region achieve bandgap shifts through selective epitaxial material growth. Reasonable adjustment of the bandgap can control the absorption and emission characteristics of photons in different regions. Therefore, the bandgap shift in the gain region helps improve optical gain efficiency and enhance optical signal intensity. The bandgap shift in the rear modulator region facilitates effective electro-absorption modulation, precisely controlling the modulation depth and speed of the optical signal, thereby improving the overall photon transmission and modulation performance of the device. The optical fluorescence wavelength of the gain region is 150-200nm longer than that of the front and rear grating regions, creating a significant spectral difference from the grating region and providing a basis for achieving wide-wavelength tunability. The optical fluorescence wavelength of the front modulator region material is 30-60nm shorter than that of the rear modulator region. This wavelength difference design facilitates modulation of optical signals in different bands, improving the device's tuning flexibility and signal processing efficiency in optical communication systems.
[0041] The device also integrates a wide-wavelength tunable laser with two electro-absorption modulators to form a compact photonic integrated device structure. This integrated design reduces connection losses and optical mode mismatch between devices, improving the compatibility and stability of the photonic integrated system. The longer optical fluorescence wavelength in the gain region facilitates more efficient optical amplification and broadens the laser's tuning range; the shorter optical fluorescence wavelength in the pre-modulator region facilitates fast-response electro-absorption modulation, increasing the signal modulation rate. This structure, which optimizes material properties, enables the device to better meet the requirements of optical communication systems for high speed, large capacity, and flexible wavelength tuning.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
