¡DOrigins and Purposes:
The optoelectronic technology is one of the eight key points in the national science technique developments and key techniques. The optoelectronic industries keep sustained growth in recent years, although they can't compare with the semiconductor industry in the total production values, but its growth rate is higher than the semiconductor industry. In the science-based industrial park, its growth rate is almost the first year by year; At 1997 the growth rate of the optoelectronic industries was as 41% in our country, but the domestic economic growth rate is only 6.5%. It is thus clear that it grows up quickly, and can be expected to be the star industry of 21 centuries. And because the international community is all in the development, our country promotes this industry at this time, will be able to have an outstanding possibility for leading in 21 centuries.
On the other hand, because the devices can be down to micro-scale and integrated in the electron industry, that make its manufactures have a revolution development, then make it have a quickly and tremendous growth. At 1969, it began to have an idea of the integrated optics, and then the current optoelectronic techniques are similar with electron industry in 20 years ago. They are mature at the technique of each optoelectronic component, but its size is again too big for each component, then they will be packaged piece by piece while constituting together. If the optoelectronic technique can be down to micro-scale and integrated just like the electron industry, then its developing will be fast.
In recent years, the micro optoelectronic technique is basically making use of the existing micro packaging techniques of the semiconductor industry. And it added some special techniques, the optical module, or system can be assembled as an optoelectronic integrated circuit on the same chip that is also similar as VLSI. Its advantage is small size, the price is low, the weight is light, and it can also avoid the alignment problems in the optoelectronic system. That can make the system not only simplify, and can extend the reliability and life. It also can be made by using of the existing semiconductor equipments, then it don't need a twice investment.
The purpose of this project is to establish the ability of 0.1£gm fabrication is the starting point for this whole project. Base on this 0.1£gm fabrication ability, the processing technique, design and integration for a high operation frequency (f>30GHz) integrated circuit, the optical-electron integrated circuit of 10 Gbps fiber-optical communication, and the development of GaN-Based quantum well laser will be developed. We will unify to integrate other projects, and we deliver the advance techniques to the industry fields.
