摘要: 为了解决传统电光混合运算逻辑单元速率低、功耗高、尺寸大等问题，以实现电光混合高速运算，本文设计了一种基于介电常数近零态（Epsilon-Near-Zero）和铟锡氧化物（ITO）薄膜电调控的集成硅基波导电光混合半加器。利用ITO激活材料薄膜的电调控特性实现了光路通断和交叉，从而实现了两位二进制数的半加法功能，通过3D-FDTD模拟仿真对器件模型结构参数进行了优化设计。仿真实验结果表明，当施加电压为0 V和2.35 V时，器件能够完成光信号逻辑控制。电光混合半加器工作在1550 nm波长时，其插入损耗为0.63 dB，消光比为31.73 dB，数据传输速率为61.62 GHz，每字节消耗能量为13.44 fJ，整个半加器尺寸小于21.3 μm×1.5 μm×1.2 μm。该器件具有结构紧凑、插入损耗低等特点，为高速电光混合光学逻辑器件及半加器设计提供了理论依据。Abstract: In order to achieve high-speed electro-optic hybrid operation of half-adders and solve their disadvantages in speed, energy consumption and size, a silicon waveguide integrated electro-optic half-adder is designed based on an Epsilon-Near-Zero and ITO electrical-tunable film. The ITO electrical-tunable film is used as the switch for the optical path, and thus achieve the half-add function of two binary numbers. Simulation results show that the device unit can complete the optical signal logic control when the applied voltage is 0 V and 2.35 V. When the hybrid electro-optic half-adder works at a wavelength of 1550 nm, the insertion loss is 0.63 dB, the extinction ratio is 31.73 dB, the data transmission rate is 61.62 GHz, the energy consumption per bit is 13.44 fJ, and the size of the whole half-adder is less than 21.3 μm×1.5 μm×1.2 μm. The device is compact and has a low insertion loss. This provides a theoretical foundation for the design of high-speed hybrid electro-optic logic devices and half-adders.
