摘要:
An optical waveguide is formed on a ferroelectric substrate having a thickness of 20 μm or less by diffusion of a dopant or ion exchange. The optical waveguide has a non-branched section 2a operating on single mode and a pair of branched sections branched from the non-branched section 2a. Each of the branched sections has a connecting part 7 extending from a branching end 10 and a multi mode propagating part 8 continuously formed from the connecting part 7. The multi mode propagating part 8 has a width “m” larger than a width “t” of the non-branched section. A width “p” of the connecting part increases from the non-branched section 2a toward the multi mode propagating part 8.

According to a composite substrate manufacturing method of the present invention, (a) a piezoelectric substrate having minute asperities formed in a rear surface thereof, and a support substrate having a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than the piezoelectric substrate are prepared, (b) a filler is applied to the rear surface 11a to fill the minute asperities, thereby forming a filling layer, (c) a surface of the filling layer is mirror-polished to such an extent that an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of the surface of the filling layer is smaller than an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of the rear surface 11a in a state of above (a), and (d) the surface of the filling layer and a surface of the support substrate are bonded to each other with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween, thereby forming a composite substrate.
摘要:
The composite substrate is a substrate used to manufacture an acoustic wave device, and includes a support substrate, a piezoelectric substrate, and a adhesive layer with which the support substrate and the piezoelectric substrate are bonded to each other. In the composite substrate, assuming that a surface of the piezoelectric substrate that is bonded to the support substrate is defined as a first surface and a surface at the side opposite to the first surface is defined as a second surface, the piezoelectric substrate is formed such that the first surface is inside the second surface when the first surface is projected onto the second surface in a direction perpendicular to the second surface. In other words, the composite substrate has an outer peripheral surface that is formed such that the circumference thereof increases toward the top surface of the piezoelectric substrate.

摘要:
A metal film is formed on at least a surface of a second substrate composed of ceramic (step c), and a first substrate composed of a group nitride is bonded to the second substrate through the metal film (step d). Since the metal film generally has higher thermal conductivity than oxide films, a composite substrate having high heat dissipation can be produced as compared with a case where the first substrate is bonded to the second substrate through an oxide film. In addition, a step of out diffusion is not required because of nonuse of an oxide film, thereby simplifying the process.
