Description

应变SiGeSn鳍型光电探测器
技术领域
本发明属于微电子器件技术领域,特别涉及光电探测器,具体是一种应变SiGeSn鳍型光电探测器,可用于光电探测。
背景技术
红外波段包含众多特征谱线,工作在该波段的探测器在通信技术、军事、国防、消防、医疗、环境监测、自动影像等很多方面有着重要的应用。目前,用于的红外探测器的半导体材料,包括III-V族材料InGaAs,GaInAsSb,InGaSb等,II-VI材料HgCdTe和IV族材料Ge,GeSn等。InGaAs探测器在近红外波段性能优异,HgxCd1-xTe长波长红外探测器是目前性能最好的中红外探测器,通过调节材料中Hg的组分可以实现带隙0-0.8eV的连续可调。然而无论III-V族或者II-VI族材料,本身都会引起环境问题,成本非常高,而且与Si基技术不兼容。
Ge在1.3-1.55μm波段范围内有很高的吸收效率,且可以直接在Si基长出高质量Ge薄膜,使得高性能Ge被认为近红外探测器的最佳备选材料。室温下,Ge直接带隙为0.80eV,因此Ge探测器吸收边在1.55μm左右,不能覆盖中红外波段。可以通过引入Sn来改变Ge基探测器的吸收边。GeSn合金具有比Ge更小的带隙,因此吸收边可以进一步红移。从理论上说增加Sn的组分可以使GeSn材料的带隙减小到零,但由于Sn在Ge中的固溶度很低,即小于1%,因此很难制备高质量、无缺陷的高Sn组分的GeSn。现在用外延生长的方法也只能制备出Sn组分为20%的GeSn材料。并且随着Sn组分的增加,材料质量和热稳定型都会变差,因此单纯依靠提高Sn的组分实现较大范围带隙的调节比较困难。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于针对上述已有技术的不足,提供一种应变SiGeSn鳍型光电探测器,以减小光电探测器原材料毒性,增大探测器的吸收谱波长范围。
为实现上述目的,本发明的应变SiGeSn鳍型光电探测器,包括下电极102、吸收区103、上电极104和应力薄膜105,其特征在于:吸收区103采用由SiGeSn复合材料构成的鳍型结构,应力薄膜105位于吸收区103的表面。
上述光电探测器,其特征在于,所述SiGeSn复合材料,是在衬底101上外延GeSn材料获得,其通式为Si1-x-yGeySnx,其中0≤x≤0.25,0≤y≤0.75。
上述光电探测器,其特征在于,所述SiGeSn复合材料采用单层结构。
上述光电探测器,其特征在于,所述SiGeSn复合材料,采用多层结构,每层的Ge、Sn组分不同;
上述光电探测器,其特征在于,所述鳍型结构,是由空隙与SiGeSn复合材料相交错而构成。
上述光电探测器,其特征在于,应力薄膜105部分包覆在吸收区103和电极104的表面。
上述光电探测器,其特征在于,应力薄膜105全部包覆在吸收区103和电极104的表面。
上述光电探测器,其特征在于,包覆在吸收区103的表面的应力薄膜105采用单层结构
上述光电探测器,其特征在于,包覆在吸收区103的表面的应力薄膜105采用多层结构。
本发明具有如下优点:
1、提高了吸收区材料带隙调节效果
本发明由于采用SiGeSn有源区材料,并通过应力薄膜在吸收区中引入应变,从而改变吸收区材料带隙,在不改变吸收区材料组分的情况下,可以有效调节器件吸收波长范围,同时在应力薄膜中应力和厚度确定的情况下,还可以通过减小鳍型结构的厚度来增加鳍型吸收区的应变,从而增强吸收区材料带隙调节效果。
2、使用的材料更为低廉、环保
本发明中使用的材料全为IV族材料,同现有的III-V族材料和II-VI材料相比,IV族材料无毒、廉价。同时,目前半导体制造工业中的生产设备是针对Si材料设计的,如果使用III-V族材料和II-VI材料,则需要对现有的生产设备进行替换。而使用Si材料以及与Si材料同族的其他IV族材料,可以在不改变现有生产设备情况下,制备出SiGeSn鳍型光电探测器,因而该SiGeSn鳍型光电探测器具有更低的成本。
相比其他光电探测器,本发明使用SiGeSn材料作为有源区材料的鳍型结构的光电探测器具有更好的应用前景。
