Description
また、本発明に係る半導体構造は、InPを基板とする半導体構造であって、順に、多重量子井戸と、拡散防止層と、p型InP層を備え、前記p型InP層がZnドーピングされ、前記拡散防止層が複数の層からなり、前記複数の層がInPに略格子整合し、前記複数の層のうち、少なくとも1層がAlとInとAsを含み、カーボンがドープされ、前記拡散防止層が、前記カーボンがドープされるInAlAsと前記カーボンがドープされるInGaAlAsとが交互に積層されていることを特徴とする。
本発明の第1の実施の形態に係る半導体構造について図1~図5を参照して説明する。
図1に、本実施の形態に係る光変調器用の半導体構造10を示す。半導体構造10は、順に、n型InP基板11と、多重量子井戸(MQW)12と、拡散防止層13と、p型InPクラッド層14と、p型InGaAsコンタクト層15を備える。
図3Aに、本発明の実施の形態に係る半導体構造におけるZn濃度を示す。Zn濃度はSIMSにより測定された。図3Aには、試料表面から0.6μmの深さから、順に、p型クラッド層14、拡散防止層13、MQW12、基板11でのZn濃度を示す。p型クラッド層14層におけるZnドーピング濃度は、1×1018cm-3程度である。
本発明の第1の実施例に係る半導体構造および半導体素子について図6~図8を参照して説明する。
図6に、本実施例に係る半導体素子30の構造を示す。半導体素子30はEA変調器である。半導体素子30は、InP基板11上に、順に、MQW12と、拡散防止層13_1と、p型InPクラッド層14と、p型コンタクト層15とが積層された半導体構造31より形成された導波路構造と、導波路構造の両側の側面の半絶縁InP埋込層と、表面の酸化膜と、表面と裏面それぞれに電極18_1、18_2を備える。また、半導体素子30の素子長は、150μmである。
図8に、本実施例のEA変調器の消光特性を示す。比較例として、拡散防止層を有さない従来構造の消光特性も示す。
比較例では、印加電圧の増加に伴い、消光比が徐々に低下し、急峻な消光カーブが得られない(図中、点線)。
本発明の第2の実施例に係る半導体構造および半導体素子について、図9を参照して説明する。
第2の実施例に係る半導体素子(EA変調器)の構成は第1の実施例と略同様であるが、拡散防止層の構成が異なる。
本実施例のEA変調器では、p型の拡散防止層13_2の層厚が低減されるので寄生容量を抑制できる。その結果、変調器の特性である3dB帯域として34GHzを達成できる。また、50Gb/s動作時の変調振幅電圧1.5Vにおいて、消光比8.0dB以上の明瞭なアイ波形を達成できる。
