Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of optical waveguide manufacturing, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional optical waveguide manufacturing device. Background Art
[0002] Electric field-assisted ion exchange is a common method for manufacturing optical waveguide chips. The working principle is to contact the wafer with molten salt for ion exchange, so that sodium ions in the wafer are exchanged for larger-sized ions such as silver and potassium, realizing local modification of the wafer material, changing its refractive index to form an optical waveguide, and accelerating the ion exchange rate under the action of the electric field formed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. By adjusting the magnitude of the electric field, larger-sized ions such as silver and potassium obtained by wafer exchange can be enriched at different depth positions of the wafer material, realizing buried optical waveguides with different depths. The main process steps for manufacturing an optical waveguide include wafer cleaning, sputtering an Al film on the wafer surface, spin-coating a photoresist on the Al film, designing a photolithography pattern on the photoresist surface and performing photolithography, etching the wafer, and obtaining an optical waveguide through electric field-assisted ion exchange and burial.
[0003] When manufacturing an optical waveguide by electric field-assisted burial, it is necessary to ensure that the surface waveguide surface of the wafer is in contact with the molten salt, so that silver, potassium and other ions in the molten salt can enter the wafer to achieve ion exchange. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the positive electrode with voltage from being connected to the molten salt or the negative electrode, otherwise it will cause a short circuit.
[0004] To solve this problem, those skilled in the art have designed relevant devices. For example, as proposed by Zeng Ling in the article "Research on Electric Field-Assisted Ion Exchange Waveguides", a ring-shaped container is set on the front side of the wafer, molten salt is added into the ring-shaped container, and a block-shaped or planar positive electrode is set thereon. The negative electrode is connected on the back side of the wafer by methods such as coating. Although this structure can achieve electric field-assisted ion exchange and buried manufacturing of optical waveguides, for each optical waveguide chip manufactured, molten salt needs to be added into the ring-shaped container again. It is not suitable for mass production and is only suitable for single experiments. Moreover, the wafer is in a uniform electric field. Although it can achieve the effect of burying the optical waveguide, it cannot achieve the three-dimensional structure burial of the optical waveguide. Another example is the existing patent solution with the authorization announcement number CN101907739B. An outer ceramic is used to hold the molten salt for exchange, an inner ceramic, a ceramic sheet, and an exchange K9 glass sheet are fixedly stacked together in sequence, and the inner ceramic is fixedly connected to a ceramic rod. The inner ceramic is suspended in the outer ceramic through the ceramic rod. Through holes are provided at the bottom of the inner ceramic and the ceramic sheet for fixing the negative electrode. The negative electrode is in close contact with one side of the nickel-plated film of the exchange K9 glass through the through hole of the ceramic sheet. Although this structure can achieve electric field-assisted ion exchange and buried manufacturing to obtain an optical waveguide, since the exchange K9 glass sheet is exposed at the bottom of the ceramic sheet, and the inner ceramic, the ceramic sheet, and the exchange K9 glass sheet are adhesively stacked together in sequence, the exchange K9 glass sheet is prone to being knocked, damaged, and falling off during the assembly process. Moreover, there is no limit to the assembly position of the ceramic sheet, and it is difficult to control the position accuracy during assembly, which is not suitable for mass production. In addition, the exchange K9 glass sheet is also in a uniform electric field. Although it can achieve the effect of burying the optical waveguide, it cannot achieve the three-dimensional structure burial of the optical waveguide. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the heat preservation cylinder 3 is arranged inside the furnace body 1 and is located below the quartz bracket 2 for containing molten salt. The heat preservation cylinder 3 includes an inner cylinder 31 and an outer cylinder 32. The molten salt is contained inside the inner cylinder 31. A filling cavity 33 is formed by arranging a gap between the outer wall of the inner cylinder 31 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 32, and a heat preservation medium is arranged in the filling cavity 33.

The heat preservation medium adopts molten salt, so that the heat preservation medium has the same characteristics as the molten salt contained in the inner cylinder 31, ensuring the uniform temperature and gentle cooling of the molten salt. The heat preservation cylinder 3 adopts a double-layer heat preservation structure of the inner cylinder 31 and the outer cylinder 32, further ensuring the uniform temperature and gentle cooling of the molten salt. Moreover, the heat preservation cylinder 3 and the furnace body 1 form a double heat preservation structure, further ensuring the uniform temperature and gentle cooling of the molten salt.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 4 - 7 , the wafer fixture 4 further includes a main fixture body 41 and a sub-fixture body 42 that are both of semi-circular ring structures. Both the main fixture body 41 and the sub-fixture body 42 are made of quartz. The main fixture body 41 and the sub-fixture body 42 are spliced and installed together. The splicing surface of the main fixture body 41 is provided with a positioning groove 411, and the splicing surface of the sub-fixture body 42 is provided with a positioning pin 421 for inserting into the positioning groove 411.

[0038] A sealing plate 413 is provided on the first end face of the main chuck body 41. The sealing plate 413 is also made of quartz and is integrally formed with the main chuck body 41 to improve the sealing performance. During splicing, the first end face of the main chuck body 41 and the first end face of the sub-chuck body 42 are hermetically connected through the sealing plate 413, and the sealing plate 413 and the first end face of the sub-chuck body 42 are adhesively fixed through insulating glue, so that the main chuck body 41 and the sub-chuck body 42 are spliced into a cup-shaped wafer fixture 4 structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the main chuck body 41 and the sub-chuck body 42 may also be semi-square structures, as long as they can be spliced into a cup-shaped wafer fixture 4 structure, the solution of this invention application can be realized.
[0039] On the inner walls of the main chuck body 41 and the sub-chuck body 42 from the first end face to the second end face, there are successively provided a first electrode groove for fixing the matrix positive electrode 5, a wafer groove for fixing the wafer 6, and a second electrode groove for fixing the copper negative electrode 7.

Between the matrix positive electrode 5 and the first electrode groove, between the wafer 6 and the wafer groove, between the copper negative electrode 7 and the second electrode groove, and between the electrical connection wire of the matrix positive electrode 5 and the inner wall of the second wire harness through hole 414, they are all adhesively fixed through insulating glue, so that the matrix positive electrode 5 is installed in a closed and insulated space constructed by the main chuck body 41, the sub-chuck body 42, the wafer 6, and the sealing plate 413, which can effectively prevent the matrix positive electrode 5 from being connected and short-circuited with the molten salt or the copper negative electrode. The electrical connection wires of the matrix positive electrode 5 and the copper negative electrode 7 are both mica tape insulated cable wires to ensure that the electrical connection wire of the matrix positive electrode 5 and the electrical connection wire of the copper negative electrode 7 can withstand the high temperature of the molten salt environment and be insulated from the molten salt.
[0040] Protrusions 43 are provided on the second end faces of the main chuck body 41 and the sub-chuck body 42. The second electrode groove is provided on the inner wall of the protrusion 43. A gap 44 for the molten salt to enter the interiors of the main chuck body 41 and the sub-chuck body 42 is formed between the copper negative electrode 7 and the second end faces of the main chuck body 41 and the sub-chuck body 42.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4, a lifting lug 415 is provided on the side wall of the main jig body 41. A fiberglass rope loop 8 is passed through the lifting lug 415, and the fiberglass rope loop 8 is suspended on the quartz bracket 2, so as to realize hanging the assembled wafer jig 4 as a whole on the quartz bracket 2, and making the wafer jig 4 as a whole immersed in the molten salt contained inside the heat preservation cylinder 3. It should be noted that both the main jig body 41 and the auxiliary jig body 42 are made of quartz, and the insulating adhesive bonding force between the main jig body 41 and the auxiliary jig body 42 can fully ensure that the two will not separate during use.
[0042] An electric heating wire (not shown in the figure) and a first temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) are also embedded inside the furnace wall of the furnace body 1. A second temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) is embedded in the wafer jig 4. The second temperature sensor is a thermocouple sensor. The signal connecting wire of the second temperature sensor is a mica tape insulated signal wire. The signal connecting wire of the second temperature sensor passes through the first wire bundle through hole 111 and is connected to an external controller. The electric heating wire and the first temperature sensor are also connected to the external controller, and are used to control the heating power of the electric heating wire according to the temperatures detected by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor to realize active heat preservation. It should be noted that this control principle is prior art and will not be elaborated here. The inner wall material of the furnace body 1 is high-alumina brick, which is used to improve the efficiency of conducting the heat of the electric heating wire.
[0043] Working principle of the present invention: First, the matrix positive electrode 5, the wafer 6, and the copper negative electrode 7 are respectively bonded and fixed in the first electrode groove, the wafer groove, and the second electrode groove on the main fixture body 41 through insulating glue. After curing, the sub-fixture body 42 is spliced with the main fixture body 41, so that the matrix positive electrode 5, the wafer 6, and the copper negative electrode 7 are respectively inserted into the first electrode groove, the wafer groove, and the second electrode groove of the sub-fixture body 42, and are bonded and fixed through insulating glue. At the same time, the electrical connection wire of the matrix positive electrode 5 passes through the second wire harness through-hole 414 and penetrates the sealing plate 413. The sealing plate 413 and the first end face of the sub-fixture body 42, between the first chamfered surface 412 and the second chamfered surface 422, and between the electrical connection wire of the matrix positive electrode 5 and the second wire harness through-hole 414 are also bonded and fixed through insulating glue. Then, the molten salt is placed in the inner cylinder 31 of the heat preservation cylinder 3 in the furnace body 1. The whole wafer fixture 4 is suspended on the quartz bracket 2 through the fiberglass rope loop 8, and the two ends of the quartz bracket 2 are respectively placed in a pair of limit square grooves 12 of the furnace body so that the whole wafer fixture 4 is immersed in the molten salt. Finally, the electrical connection wire of the matrix positive electrode 5 passes through the first wire harness through-hole 111 and is connected to an external power supply, and the electrical connection wire of the copper negative electrode 7 passes through the first wire harness through-hole 111 and is connected to an external power supply to form an electrical circuit. The opening of the furnace body 1 is closed by the furnace cover 11 to form a closed heat preservation environment. The molten salt enters the wafer fixture 4 through the gap 44 formed between the copper negative electrode 7 and the second end faces of the main fixture body 41 and the sub-fixture body 42 to contact the wafer 6, realizing ion exchange. Under the action of electric fields of different sizes formed between the matrix positive electrode 5 and the copper negative electrode 7, a three-dimensional structure of a buried optical waveguide is realized. After the three-dimensional optical waveguide is fabricated, the wafer fixture 4 is taken out of the furnace body 1, cooled, and cleaned. A colloid softening agent is dropped into the insulating glue on the contact surface between the main fixture body 41 and the sub-fixture body 42 to soften the insulating glue, so that the main fixture body 41 and the sub-fixture body 42 can be opened. Then, a colloid softening agent is dropped into the insulating glue between the matrix positive electrode 5 and the first electrode groove, between the wafer 6 and the wafer groove, and between the copper negative electrode 7 and the second electrode groove, and the matrix positive electrode 5, the wafer 6, and the copper negative electrode 7 can be taken out.
[0044] It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present invention, the quartz brackets 2 and the wafer fixtures 4 are provided in one-to-one correspondence and there are multiple of them, so as to realize processing multiple wafers 6 at a time and improve the batch production efficiency.
[0045] It should be noted that the circuit structure and working principle of the matrix positive electrode 5 are both prior arts, and the specific structure and working principle of the matrix positive electrode 5 will not be elaborated in this application.
[0046] It should be noted that the technical solution of this application can also be used to manufacture a two-dimensional optical waveguide structure. Just remove the matrix positive electrode and the copper negative electrode, that is, remove the electric field, and let the wafer directly contact the molten salt to achieve ion exchange. However, the ion exchange rate will be relatively slow and a three-dimensional optical waveguide structure will not be formed.
[0047] The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in combination with specific preferred embodiments. It cannot be determined that the specific implementation of the present invention is only limited to these descriptions. For those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several simple deductions and substitutions can still be made, which should all be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present invention.
