    摘要: A method of forming an integrated photonic semiconductor structure having a photonic device and adjacent CMOS devices may include depositing a first silicon nitride layer over the adjacent CMOS devices and depositing an oxide layer over the first silicon nitride layer, wherein the oxide layer conformally covers the first silicon nitride layer and the underlying adjacent CMOS devices to form a substantially planarized surface over the adjacent CMOS devices. A second silicon nitride layer is then deposited over the oxide layer and a region corresponding to forming the photonic device. A germanium layer is deposited over the oxide layer and the region corresponding to forming the photonic device. The germanium layer deposited over the adjacent CMOS devices is etched to form a germanium active layer within the photonic region, whereby the oxide layer and the second silicon nitride layer protect the adjacent CMOS devices during the etching of the germanium.

    摘要: A method of protecting a CMOS device within an integrated photonic semiconductor structure is provided. The method may include depositing a conformal layer of germanium over the CMOS device and an adjacent area to the CMOS device, depositing a conformal layer of dielectric hardmask over the germanium, and forming, using a mask level, a patterned layer of photoresist for covering the CMOS device and a photonic device formation region within the adjacent area. Openings are etched into areas of the deposited layer of silicon nitride not covered by the patterned photoresist, such that the areas are adjacent to the photonic device formation region. The germanium material is then etched from the conformal layer of germanium at a location underlying the etched openings for forming the photonic device at the photonic device formation region. The conformal layer of germanium deposited over the CMOS device protects the CMOS device.
