Abstract

The invention provides a laser and silicon optical chip integrated structure and a preparation method thereof. The laser and silicon optical chip integrated structure comprises a laser chip which comprises a first waveguide, and a silicon optical chip which comprises a second waveguide, wherein the second waveguide and the first waveguide couple the light emitted by the laser chip into the siliconoptical chip in an evanescent wave coupling manner. According to the laser and silicon optical chip integrated structure prepared by the invention, the first waveguide in the laser and the second waveguide in the silicon optical chip couple the light emitted by the laser into the silicon optical chip in the evanescent wave coupling manner, compared with the end face coupling in the prior art, thecoupling mode has lower requirement for alignment accuracy in the flip-chip bonding process, and still has higher coupling efficiency even under the actual process condition that alignment has errors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hybrid integration, and in particular relates to an integrated structure of a laser and a silicon optical chip and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Lasers are the light source of silicon photonic chips. Since silicon materials cannot emit light by themselves, how to integrate lasers (for example, III-V lasers) with silicon photonic chips is the key to the development of optical transceiver modules. The current integration technology of lasers and silicon photonic chips mainly consists of three types: one is monolithic integration, that is, the laser is directly grown on the silicon substrate through epitaxy; the other is heterogeneous integration, that is, the laser chip is bonded to the silicon photonic chip Heterogeneous integration of Group III and V materials with silicon photonic chips by way of combination, and then preparation of lasers; third is hybrid integration, that ...
