研究目的
Investigating the integration of photonic structures and optoelectronic sensors into a single chip for spectroscopic infrared sensing.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates an on-chip quad-wavelength membrane sensor operating in the MWIR atmospheric window region, with narrow bandwidths and nearly perfect absorptivities. The device shows potential for practical spectroscopic applications.
研究不足
The spectral linewidth of the output IR laser is broader compared to the absorption bandwidth of IR sensors, causing broadening of the spectral response. The sensor size is on the order of millimeters, though it can be scaled down.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs numerical simulations (RCWA and FDTD methods) for optical and thermal properties optimization, and a fabrication process involving direct laser writing lithography, film deposition, lift-off processes, reactive-ion etching (RIE), and anisotropic wet-etching.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A 3 in. double side polished Si wafer with a 100 nm thermally oxidized layer and a 350 nm sputtered Si3N4 film is used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a direct laser writing system, electron beam evaporator, sputtering system, RIE system, and SEM for characterization.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Fabrication involves patterning photoresist, depositing films, etching, and membrane formation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Spectral response and temporal response measurements are conducted using a tunable IR laser system and oscilloscope.
