Title:
METHOD FOR FABRICATING SEMICONDUCTOR OPTICAL ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014089403
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a method for fabricating a semiconductor optical element, capable of enhancing uniformity of contact openings to an arm waveguide in a Mach-Zehnder modulator.

A mask for fabricating a waveguide is formed on an epitaxial substrate including an alignment of a first cladding layer, a core layer, and a second cladding layer. For the mask formation, an insulation film mask is formed using photolithography and etching. A waveguide pattern of the Mach-Zehnder modulator is formed using a reticle with corrected trench width in exposure. An aspect for correcting the trench width on a 3-inch wafer, for example, includes using a reticle with trench width of 130 μm, a reticle with trench width of 114.1 μm, and a reticle with trench width of 99.1 μm for shots from wafer centre to radius of 0 mm, shots from wafer centre to radius of 19 mm, and shots from wafer centre to radius 27 mm, respectively.
