Description

A kind of AlGaN base day blind ultraviolet snowslide heterojunction phototransistor detector and its system Preparation Method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the technical fields of semiconductor ultraviolet electric explorer, blind more particularly, to a kind of AlGaN base day Ultraviolet snowslide heterojunction phototransistor detector and preparation method thereof.
Background technique
In recent years, with the development of information technology, the means that people capture ambient condition information and detect are more and more Sample, UV photodetector starts to be widely used in the multiple fields such as military, civilian and scientific research, and people are to high-performance The demand of UV photodetector is also increasingly enhanced.
Common UV photodetector is mainly Si base photodiode and the vacuum equipped with filter plate currently on the market Electronics photomultiplier tube.Based on III nitride semiconductor (including binary compound GaN, AlN, ternary compound AlGaN, InGaN, AlInN and quaternary compound AlInGaN) UV photodetector because the semiconductor material systems have direct band The forbidden bandwidth of gap, multi-element compounds is continuously adjustable with change of component, so as to realize the blind (photoresponse section of intrinsic visible light Only wavelength is in 280 ~ 363 nm ranges) and day blind (photoresponse cutoff wavelength is in 200 ~ 280 nm) ultraviolet detection, anti-radiation, resistance to evil The features such as bad environment and be concerned, become current research hotspot.Wherein, GaN, AlGaN base based on Schottky and PN junction Visible light is blind, the commercialization of solar blind UV electric diode detector.But since ultraviolet signal is in the transmission of atmosphere Decaying is strong, in general, ultraviolet signal to be detected especially day blind UV signal be all it is very faint, thus It is required that the photodetector of signal receiving end need to have optical gain.Currently, in the gain-type group III-nitride ultraviolet light of research and development Electric explorer mainly has avalanche photodide (avalanche photodiode, APD) and heterojunction photovoltaic crystal (heterojunction phototransistor, HPT) pipe detector.For wide bandgap semiconductor avalanche photodide, It generally requires and applies high reverse biased at diode both ends, sufficiently strong electric field is generated in the depletion region of device, so that photoproduction Electron-hole pair generates ionization by collision, i.e. avalanche multiplication effect under high field action, to obtain optical gain and sound inside height Answer speed.For AlGaN base avalanche photodide, it usually needs the operating voltage of upper hectovolt generates avalanche breakdown, And since there are higher dislocation density and device technology defects produced during the preparation process in AlGaN epitaxial layer, it will lead to Avalanche photodide leakage current with higher (dark current) under high reverse biased work.In addition, based on p-i-n structure Typical AlGaN ultraviolet avalanche photodiode, avalanche gain are produced by the impact ionization dominated jointly as electrons and holes , there are higher excess noises.On the other hand, heterojunction phototransistor (NPN type) then be using incident light base area with The depletion layer in current collection section or the photohole caused by base area are accumulated in base area, reduce emitter region-base area knot conduction band gesture It builds, a large amount of electron transit base areas in emitter region is made to flow to collecting zone, form the collector current more much bigger than photogenerated current, from And generate Induction boosting.AlGaN base heterojunction phototransistor has operating voltage low (usually less than 10 V), thus leakage current It is smaller;Since HPT is not work under the conditions of avalanche breakdown, device reliability is relatively higher than APD, to defect in epitaxial material The requirement of (based on dislocation) is relatively low;It is very sensitive etc. not a series of to operating voltage and temperature compared to APD device Advantage.However, the optical gain of HPT belongs to Induction boosting, need the accumulation at emitter region-base area knot valence band barrier enough Photohole could reduce conduction band barrier, to make emitter region electron transit base area, therefore its faint light (single photon) detects Ability is lower than APD, and response speed is also slightly slow.In addition to this, current AlGaN base HPT detector generallys use Mg element doping and obtains To p-type epitaxial layer, and Mg atom can be moved to because of High temperature diffusion in epitaxial process other epitaxial layers (including it is preceding to With backward diffusion), the epitaxial layer especially grown after p-type layer will receive the preceding dual shadow to diffusion and Mg memory effect It ringing, i.e., Mg atom can generate impurity compensation to the N-shaped epitaxial layer grown thereafter, and so that the pn-junction interface location in HPT is shifted, The Impurity Distribution (influencing structure design) for not only influencing each functional layer, also will affect the crystalline quality of epitaxial layer, final to deteriorate The performance of detector.

Therefore, a kind of detector is designed, the advantages of avalanche photodide and heterojunction phototransistor is combined, is avoided simultaneously They the shortcomings that, have great importance.In addition, the High temperature diffusion of p-type epitaxial layer Mg atom is inhibited for AlGaN base HPT, It is an important prerequisite for realizing the detection of AlGaN base HPT high-performance ultraviolet.
