Problems solved by technology

However, the disadvantage of this scheme is that it can only be used for optically excited metal structure plasmon resonance peak modulation, and device integration cannot be performed; it can only be applied to the mid-infrared band, which limits the scope of application.
[0010] The above-mentioned surface plasmon modulation scheme using materials such as barium titanate, Si, and graphene only modulates the optically excited surface plasmons, but does not modulate the electrically excited surface plasmons.

Abstract

A surface plasmon electro-excitation and electrical modulation integrated device comprises a back electrode, a semiconductor substrate, a semiconductor active structure, a first dielectric layer, a metal electrode and waveguide structure, a directional coupling structure, a second dielectric layer, a graphene structure, and a graphene metal electrode and waveguide structure. By electrically injecting a semiconductor quantum well material, the surface plasmons on metal and semiconductor medium interfaces are excited by means of near-field coupling and are propagated on a metal-medium waveguide after directional coupled output, and thus, surface plasmon electro-excitation is realized. Based on the fact that the Fermi level and dielectric constant change when the concentration of graphene carriers changes with change of gate voltage applied, the transmission bandwidth and high speed of electro-excited surface plasmons are modulated through the voltage applied to graphene in a field effect transistor-resembling structure composed of metal electrodes, a second dielectric layer and graphene.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a micro-nano optoelectronic integrated device and a manufacturing method thereof. More specifically, it relates to a surface plasmon electric excitation and electrical modulation integrated device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Integrated electronic devices are one of the basic functional units of traditional information technology, but restricted by nanometer size, as predicted by Moore's law, the development of integrated electronic devices is gradually approaching its physical limit. Photon integrated circuits and optical computing use photons with fast propagation speed and large transmission capacity as information carriers, which has huge advantages. Surface plasmons based on metal nanostructures can break through the limitations of the traditional optical diffraction limit and light field confinement capabilities, and can manipulate photons at the nanoscale; therefore, plasmonic integr...
