The design and the fabrication of monolithically integrated GaInAsP MQW laser with butt-coupled waveguide

We optimized the etching process for butt coupling to improve the reproducibility and the uniformity of the process for the integrated GaInAsP multiquantum-well laser with a butt-coupled waveguide. Three different ways of etching process were tested, which are reactive ion etching (RIE), RIE followed by a small amount (50 nm thick) of selective wet etching, and RIE followed by an adequate amount (125 nm thick) of selective wet etching. RIE followed by an adequate amount of selective wet etching showed the superior properties to the common expectation on RIE only, giving the measured coupling efficiency 96/spl plusmn/1.7% versus 34/spl plusmn/8%. The high coupling efficiency and the very small variation across a quarter of a 2-in wafer demonstrate that RIE coupled with an adequate amount of selective wet etching can also replace the conventional process for butt coupling, RIE followed by HBr-based nonselective wet etching, to fabricate high-quality integrated photonic devices.     

Structural and Electrical Characters of Ba0.6Sro.4TiO3/La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 Thin Films by Plus Laser Deposition

Epitaxial Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited on LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates with the conductive metallic oxide La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) film as a bottom electrode by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Xray relationship of BST/LSCO/LAO was [001] BST//[001]LSCO//[001] LAO. The atomic force microscope (AFM)revealed a smooth and crackfree surface of BST films on LSCOcoated LAO substrate with the average grain size of 120 nm and the RMS of 1.564 nm for BST films.Pt/BST/LSCO capacitor was fabricated to perform CapacitanceVoltage measurement indicating good insulating characteristics. For epitaxial BST film, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss were determined as 471 and 0.03, respectively. The tunabilty was 79.59% and the leakage current was 2.63×107 A/crm2 under an applied filed of 200 kV/cm. Furthermore, it was found that epitaxial BST (60/40) films demonstrate wellbehaved ferroelectric properties with the remnate polarization of 6.085 μC/cm2 and the coercive field of 72 kV/cm. The different electric properties from bulk BST (60/40)materials with intrinsic paraelectric characteristic are attributed to the interface effects.     

Etching characteristics and plasma-induced damage of Ba0.65Sr0.35TiO3 thin films etched in CF4/Ar/O2 plasma

Sol-gel-derived Ba_0.65Sr_0.35TiO₃ (BST) thin films were etched in CF₄/Ar/O₂ plasma using magnetically enhanced reactive ion etching technology. The maximum etch rate of BST film is 8.47 nm/min when CF₄/Ar/O₂ gas mixing ratio is equal to 9/36/5. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicates the accumulation of fluorine-containing by-products on the etched surface due to their poor volatility, resulting in (Ba,Sr)-rich and (Ti,O)-deficient etched surface. Compared to the unetched counterparts, the etched Ba 3d_5/2, Ba 3d_3/2, Sr 3d_5/2, Sr 3d_3/2, Ti 2p_3/2, Ti 2p_1/2 and O 1s photoelectron peaks shift towards higher binding energy regions by amounts of 1.31, 1.30, 0.60, 0.79, 0.09, 0.46 and 0.50 eV, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals that intensities of the etched BST (1 0 0), (1 1 0), (2 0 0) and (2 1 1) peaks are lowered and broadened. Raman spectra confirm that the Raman peaks of the etched film shift towards lower wave number regions with the values of 7, 6, 4 and 4 cm⁻¹, and the corresponding phonon lifetimes are longer than those of the unetched film because of the plasma-induced damage. When the etched films are postannealed at 650 °C for 20 min under an O₂ ambience, the chemical shifts of Ba 3d, Sr 3d, Ti 2p and O 1s peaks, the variations for atomic concentrations of Ba, Sr, Ti and O, and the Raman redshifts are reduced, while the corresponding XRD peak intensities increase. It is conceivable that the plasma-induced damage of the etched film could be partially recovered during the postannealing process.

Epitaxial Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BST) thin films were deposited on LaAlO3 (LAO) substrates with the conductive metallic oxide La0.5Sr0.5CoO3 (LSCO) film as a bottom electrode by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). X-ray diffraction ~2 and Ф scan showed that the epitaxial relationship of BST/LSCO/LAO was [001] BST//[001] LSCO//[001] LAO. The atomic force microscope (AFM) revealed a smooth and crack-free surface of BST films on LSCO-coated LAO substrate with the average grain size of 120 nm and the RMS of 1.564 nm for BST films. Pt/BST/LSCO capacitor was fabricated to perform CapacitanceVoltage measurement indicating good insulating characteristics. For epitaxial BST film, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss were determined as 471 and 0.03, respectively. The tunabilty was 79.59% and the leakage current was 2.6310-7 A/cm2 under an applied filed of 200 kV/cm. Furthermore, it was found that epitaxial BST (60/40) films demonstrate well-behaved ferroelectric properties with the remnate polarization of 6.085 C/cm2 and the coercive field of 72 kV/cm. The different electric properties from bulk BST (60/40) materials with intrinsic paraelectric characteristic are attributed to the interface effects.

Selective etching of (Ba,Sr)TiO3 thin films over silicon in an inductively coupled plasma

In this work, we investigated etching characteristics of BST thin films and higher selectivity of BST over Si using inductive coupled O₂/Cl₂/Ar plasma (ICP) system. The maximum etch rate of BST thin films and selectivity of BST over Si were 61.5 nm/min at a O₂ addition of 1 sccm, 9.52 at a O₂ addition of 4 sccm into the Cl₂(30%)/Ar(70%) plasma, respectively. Plasma diagnostics was performed by Langmuir probe (LP), optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS). These results confirm that the increased etch rates at O₂ addition of 1 sccm is the result of the enhanced chemical reaction between BST and Cl radicals and an ion bombardment effect.
