Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, the invention will be further described, but be not limited to this.
Fig. 1 is respectively the structural representation of germanium tunnelling diode preparation method in different step to Fig. 4.
As shown in Figure 1, the preparation method who describes according to the present invention, using low-doped germanium wafer (Ge) be substrate, employing spin coating doping method makes the Substrate Doping Doped n-type germanium wafer (n+Ge) of attaching most importance to; Then adopt the middle part of metal aluminium (Al) covering heavy doping N-shaped germanium wafer for sedimentation; After photoetching, with wet process, form tableland.The height of aluminium lamination is preferably 100nm, and certainly, the height of aluminium lamination can fluctuate in certain scope, and for example 80nm is also fine between 120nm.
Spin coating refers to that substrate, perpendicular to the axle rotation on self surface, is coated in on-chip technique liquid coating material simultaneously.Semiconductor why can extensive use, and what rely on is exactly that it can change by implant impurity in its lattice that it is electrical, and this process is referred to as doping.Impurity concentration and polarity that doping enters extrinsic semiconductor all can have a huge impact semi-conductive conductive characteristic.Conventionally doping content is higher, and it is better that semi-conductive conductivity will become, and reason is that the electron amount that can enter conduction band can improve and increase along with doping content.The integrated circuit that the semiconductor that doping content is very high can be widely used in because conductivity approaches metal today replaces part metal.High-dopant concentration can add target "+" number on conventionally after n or p.
Photoetching is an industrial step while producing semiconductor element, and this step is transferred to the contour structures being imprinted on photomask on the surface of matrix.General flow is that first on substrate, (the present invention is germanium substrate) is covered with one deck and only counts the metal of nanometer thickness, then on this layer of metal, is covered with one deck photoresist.This layer of photoresist can hardening after photoetching (being generally ultraviolet ray).By photomask only at some local photoresist by photoetching.Photoresist has different types, and some is to all ultraviolet spectrogram sensitization, and some is only to certain photoreception of spectrum, and also some is to X ray or to electron beam sensitization.On silicon, be coated with the photoresist spinner of photoresist.Post-develop resist is dried.Then chip is placed in the solvent of a corroding metal, adopts wet process that the corrosion of metals of not covered by photoresist is fallen.Then use the another kind of special corrosive liquid photoresist of oven dry is got rid of, in stromal surface, just left like this metal that one deck has covered certain area, form tableland.
As shown in Figure 2, be using plasma chemical vapour deposition technique deposited silicon nitride (Si 3n 4) schematic diagram while covering tableland.
Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) (CVD) is the technology that is used for depositing multiple materials being most widely used in semi-conductor industry, comprises large-scale insulating material, most metals material and metal alloy compositions.Principle is: two or more gaseous state raw material import in a reative cell, and then chemical reaction occurs each other for they, forms a kind of new material, deposits in wafer surface.Deposition silicon nitride film (Si 3n 4) be exactly to be formed by silane and nitrogen reaction.For chemical reaction can be carried out at lower temperature, make coating evenly not peel off simultaneously, can utilize the activity of plasma to promote reaction, Here it is plasma chemical vapor deposition.
As shown in Figure 3, be the schematic diagram while carrying out step 5, adopt rta technique, make the germanium on aluminium and surface be dissolved as liquid, (AlGe) Gong Rong liquid, above covers silicon nitride (Si to form aluminium germanium 3n 4) as miniature crucible, make aluminium Zhe Gong Rong liquid keep stable.The temperature of rta technique is preferably 500 ℃ to 700 ℃, and aluminium Zhe Gong Rong liquid height is preferably 100nm to 120nm.The temperature of rta technique of the present invention is preferably 600 ℃, the preferred 110nm of aluminium Zhe Gong Rong liquid height.This step, adopts after rta technique, utilizes melt Fast Growth liquid phase epitaxial method, generates crystal.
As shown in Figure 4, be the schematic diagram of product germanium tunnelling diode of the present invention, cooling after short annealing, form heavy doping p-type germanium (p+Ge), form tunnel-through diode with original weight Doped n-type germanium (n+Ge).
The tunnel-through diode of preparing with method of the present invention, can show obvious differential negative resistance.The more important thing is that can reach peak current density is 120kA/cm 2, be the highest in current density in tunnel-through diode (Esaki tunnel diode) of the same type.Peak current density can be compared or surpass with some resonance tunnel-through diodes based on San Wu family.This product can substitute the expensive tunnel-through diode based on three or five compounds of group and be applied to simulation and Digital Logical Circuits at a high speed.
Obviously above-described embodiment is not limitation of the present invention, and above-mentioned a kind of germanium tunnelling diode and preparation method thereof can also have other many variations.For example preparation method of the present invention is based on germanium, but can, based on silicon, produce silicon tunnel-through diode equally.Although in conjunction with above-mentioned example, discussed the present invention in detail, should be understood that professional person in the industry can expect apparently some are identical, alternative scheme, within all falling into the protection range that the claims in the present invention limit.
