Abstract

A planar self-aligned process for fabricating integrated lasers and modulators is described. This process employs a native oxide of AlxGa1−xAs to form the waveguide structure and dielectric passivation layer. Wet oxidation of AlxGa1−xAs is being investigated to determine possible processing parameters that result in good quality oxides and a reliable fabrication process. Variations in the mechanical properties were observed with changes in processing parameters.
