Growth of aluminum nitride on a silicon nitride substrate for hybrid photonic circuits

نویسندگان

چکیده

Aluminum nitride (AlN) is an emerging material for integrated quantum photonics with its excellent linear and nonlinear optical properties. In particular, second-order susceptibility $\chi^{(2)}$ allows single-photon generation. We have grown AlN thin films on silicon via reactive DC magnetron sputtering. The been characterized using X-ray diffraction, reflectometry, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy. crystalline properties of the improved by optimizing nitrogen to argon ratio power deposition process. diffraction measurements confirm fabrication high-quality c-axis oriented a full width at half maximum rocking curves 3.9 deg. 300-nm-thick films. Atomic microscopy reveal root mean square surface roughness below 1 nm. SiN us fabricate hybrid photonic circuits new approach that avoids challenging patterning AlN.

Aluminum Nitride Substrate Growth by Halide Vapor Transport Epitaxy

High-quality AlN layers with thickness up to 50 mm have been grown by HVTE at growth rates up to 60mm/h at deposition temperatures of 1000–11001C in the pressure range of 50–760Torr. The HVT process uses an aluminum chloride amine adduct as the aluminum source and ammonia for the nitrogen. This new technique eliminates the main difficulties of the conventional HVPE growth, where aluminum oxidat...

In this proposal we seek to establish a porous silicon based etching process in the WTC microfabrication laboratory. The new process will allow us to etch high aspect ratio holes through a wafer. Holes like these are important for decreasing the dead volume of connections between micro and macro systems and for increasing the complexity of micro-fluidic systems. At the present time, the minimum...

Photonic crystal waveguides on silicon rich nitride platform.

We demonstrate design, fabrication, and characterization of two-dimensional photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides on a suspended silicon rich nitride (SRN) platform for applications at telecom wavelengths. Simulation results suggest that a 210 nm photonic band gap can be achieved in such PhC structures. We also developed a fabrication process to realize suspended PhC waveguides with a transmission ...
