一种硅基带间级联激光器结构、激光器及其制备方法

By employing a multilayer buffer layer transition on the silicon substrate, the mismatch problem between III-V compounds and the Si substrate was solved, enabling direct epitaxial integration of interband cascaded lasers on the silicon substrate. This expanded the mid-infrared wavelength range, reduced the threshold current density and power consumption, and simplified the process flow.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies struggle to integrate mid-infrared interband cascaded lasers on silicon substrates with high quality, especially due to the mismatch between III-V compounds and Si substrates, resulting in complex processes and high costs.

Method used

A multilayer buffer layer (Si1-xGex, AlyGa1-yAs, AlzGa1-zSb, and InwGa1-wAs) is used for transition to achieve direct epitaxial integration of interband cascaded lasers on a silicon substrate. The mismatch problem is solved by the transition between the Si substrate and the III-V semiconductor layer.

Benefits of technology

This technology enables the direct epitaxial integration of high-performance interband cascaded lasers on silicon, expanding the mid-infrared wavelength range, reducing threshold current density and power consumption, improving heat dissipation efficiency, and avoiding the complexity and high cost of traditional heterogeneous integration.

Abstract

本发明提供了一种硅基带间级联激光器结构、激光器及其制备方法。该硅基带间级联激光器结构包括:自下而上依次为硅衬底、多层缓冲层以及带间级联超晶格层,其中,多层缓冲层是由硅锗半导体层和III‑V族半导体层组成。该硅基带间级联激光器通过Si1‑xGex(x=0‑1)、AlyGa1‑yAs(y=0‑1)、AlzGa1‑zSb(z=0‑1)以及InwGa1‑wAs(w=0‑1)等多层缓冲层的过渡,解决了III‑V族化合物与Si衬底的失配问题,实现了基于InAs的带间级联激光器结构在硅衬底上的直接外延集成,将可大规模应用的硅基外延激光器向更长波长的中红外范围拓展,且避免了传统的键合等异质集成方式工艺复杂,原生衬底昂贵等弊端。
