Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, since the formed plasma contains H elements, there are H elements in the deposited film, which makes many pores in the film, resulting in loose film structure, so the film performance is not good and the loss is high; while LPCVD deposits the silicon nitride functional layer The formed structure is dense and does not contain H elements. However, since the lithium niobate film cannot withstand high temperatures of 700 ° C, and the temperature of LPCVD deposition of silicon nitride is at least 700 ° C, it is impossible to directly use LPCVD to deposit a silicon nitride layer on the lithium niobate film.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a single crystal film with a silicon nitride layer and a preparation method thereof. The single crystal film with the silicon nitride layer comprises a silicon nitridelayer, a lithium niobate film layer, a silicon oxide layer and a silicon substrate layer from top to bottom. The single crystal film with the silicon nitride layer of the invention has better compatibility with the lithium niobate film, high mode limitation, low propagation loss and high power processing capacity as an optical waveguide transmission layer since silicon nitride has a good insulation effect and a wide optical transmission window. With the preparation method of the single crystal film with the silicon nitride layer in the invention, the silicon nitride waveguide is prepared by LPVCD deposition and integrated with a lithium niobate modulator, and a waveguide device with high integration level, wide bandwidth and low loss can be obtained. The preparation method of the inventionis suitable for industrial production and has a high yield.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium niobate / lithium tantalate single crystal thin film, in particular to a single crystal thin film with a silicon nitride layer and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the Internet field in recent years, optical interconnection technology has the advantages of low transmission loss, broadband, and high-speed transmission, and microring resonators, as a key technology that can realize optical interconnection, have become the key to solving problems. Due to its excellent optical properties, lithium niobate / lithium tantalate single crystal thin film can be used as a basic material for the production of high-frequency, high-bandwidth, high-integration, large-capacity, low-power optoelectronic devices and integrated optical circuits. Depositing a layer of low-loss silicon nitride on the lithium niobate / lithium tantalate film to obtain a multilayer composite film structure has br...
