Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of visible light and ultraviolet light emitting devices, and in particular to a homogeneous integrated device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Group III nitride materials have excellent chemical stability, radiation resistance, and a directly adjustable band gap of 0.7-6.2eV, and are widely used in optoelectronic devices and power devices. In recent years, it has been found that group III nitride epitaxy based on a multi-quantum well structure has the characteristics of simultaneous luminescence and detection, so it can be used in a homogeneous integrated system that integrates luminescence and detection. This homogeneous integrated system can replace the traditional information transmission and processing system based on electrical signals through optical signals. It has high bandwidth and fast transmission speed, and has unique advantages in big data processing, 5G communication, Internet of Things and other fields.
[0003] At present, the preparation of optical waveguide structures with high optical coupling efficiency is a major difficulty. Current research mainly focuses on nitride epitaxial homogeneous integration based on Si substrates, and uses the easy etching characteristics of Si to prepare air / nitride / air optical waveguide structures. However, the nitride epitaxial technology based on Si substrates is immature, and the prepared homogeneous integrated system cannot meet the needs of practical applications. In comparison, the field of III-nitride epitaxial technology based on sapphire substrates is more mature, with higher material quality and superior device performance, which can greatly improve the bandwidth and transmission rate of communications. Therefore, homogeneous integrated systems based on sapphire substrates have greater application potential and market prospects. However, since the sapphire substrate has extremely high physical and chemical stability and a thickness of several hundred microns, it is difficult to etch the epitaxial layer by traditional solution or ICP etching methods, which brings great difficulties to the preparation of air / nitride / air optical waveguide structures. At the same time, the optical coupling efficiency of sapphire / nitride / air optical waveguide structures is low. The sapphire substrate can be etched quickly and efficiently using laser etching. However, it is easy to damage the epitaxy and it is difficult to obtain a flat and smooth nitride / air interface. Summary of the invention

Its upper and lower air / nitride interfaces are smooth and flat, and its optical waveguide structure is an air / nitride / air structure.
[0064] It can be understood that the thicknesses of the non-specifically doped layer and the n-type doped layer can be adjusted according to the length of the optical waveguide structure, the device size, etc.
[0065] The homogeneous integrated devices provided in the above embodiments of the present application benefit from the mature process of sapphire substrate epitaxy, and the performance of each device in the homogeneous integrated system is more excellent.

[0068] Step S110: preparing the patterned metal protective sacrificial layer on the substrate (1).
[0069] See also Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a periodically patterned metal mask structure on a substrate. In this embodiment, the patterned metal protective sacrificial layer (20) is made of a high-temperature resistant metal with a melting point greater than 1300°C, such as Ti, V, W and other metals, and has a thickness between 10nm and 4000nm. During the laser etching process, the epitaxial structure is protected from laser damage, which causes epitaxial damage and surface unevenness. After the substrate etching is completed, it can be dissolved with an acidic solution to obtain an optical waveguide structure with a smooth surface.
[0070] Step S120: According to the structure of the homogeneous integrated device, epitaxially grow the non-specific doped layer (2), the n-type doped layer (3), the multi-quantum well layer (5), the p-type doped layer (6), the n-type contact electrode (4) and the p-type contact electrode (7) on the patterned metal protective sacrificial layer.
[0071] See also Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of a homogeneous integrated epitaxial structure integrating light emission and detection on a patterned metal mask provided in this embodiment.
[0072] Step S130: preparing a device channel and a mesa structure on the epitaxial layer according to the structure of the homogeneous integrated device.
[0073] See also Figure 5 , which is a schematic diagram of a homogeneous integrated isolation channel and mesa structure prepared by using a mask metal as an overlay mark and utilizing micro-nano processing technology provided in this embodiment.
[0074] Step S140: preparing a protective layer on the surface of the epitaxial layer.
[0075] In this embodiment, the epitaxial surface protection layer is a soluble solid material, and the solid material is photoresist or metal.
[0076] It can be understood that the epitaxial protection layer is made of a material that can absorb the force generated during the laser etching process and can be effectively removed without contaminating the epitaxial layer after the laser etching is completed, such as photoresist.
[0077] Step S150: using laser to etch the substrate below the metal pattern until it reaches the metal pattern layer.
[0078] In this embodiment, the laser wavelength is between 200nm-400nm, and the power is between 10mW-
[0079] Specifically, a suitable laser wavelength and power are selected according to the substrate thickness and etching depth.
[0080] See also Figure 6 , which is a schematic diagram of the device structure obtained after laser etching the sapphire substrate corresponding to the metal mask provided in this embodiment.

[0082] In this embodiment, the acidic solution is a solution that can dissolve the patterned metal material, such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and a mixed solution thereof.
[0083] See also Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a device structure of an optical waveguide structure having a flat and smooth surface obtained after etching the metal mask with an acidic solution provided in this embodiment.
[0084] Step S170: Obtain a homogeneous integrated device according to micro-nano processing technology.
[0085] See also Figure 8 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a homogeneous integrated device prepared using micro-nano processing technology provided in this embodiment.

The laser etching method adopted in the present application has a much higher rate of etching sapphire than the traditional etching method, and can etch a specific size area at a specific location. Therefore, the method can efficiently prepare an optical waveguide structure, and because the optical waveguide structure is composed of air with a low dielectric constant and a nitride homogeneous material with a high dielectric constant, its total reflection angle is larger and the optical coupling effect is higher.

To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
