Description
技术领域
本发明涉及半导体光电器件领域以及光互联领域,具体涉及一种能够对微弱通信光信号进行探测的波导对接耦合(butt-coupling)型吸收倍增分离雪崩二极管。
背景技术
雪崩光电探测器(APD)通过雪崩倍增效应产生内部增益,具有高灵敏度和响应度等特性,是光电探测器重要的研究方向之一,在弱光检测,量子通信,生物医学以及光通信集成系统等各类光信息检测领域都有着广阔的应用。
波导雪崩探测器突破了传统垂直入射结构探测器的光响应与频率响应之间的相互制约,器件集成上具有尺寸小、集成度高的优点,而器件性能上具有更高的响应度,更大的灵敏度以及更宽的频率响应范围等特性优势,因此,是未来光电集成系统发展的重要核心器件。吸收倍增分离型(Separated Absorption Multiplication,缩写为SAM)结构的雪崩探测器,其器件结构设计更为灵活。针对不同的探测波长可选用不同的半导体吸收材料,并与低离化率比值的倍增材料进行低位错集成,形成具有高吸收、低过剩噪声、低误码率和高灵敏等优点的雪崩器件。因此,波导吸收倍增分离型雪崩探测器的研制对于未来光信息检测领域的发展有着举足轻重的作用。但是,现今研制的波导SAM-APD距离实现高响应、大带宽、高集成的目标仍有很大的距离。
本发明就是针对光信息检测领域的雪崩光电探测器的高吸收、大带宽、高灵敏度的需求,设计的一种波导对接耦合型吸收倍增分离雪崩光电探测器结构。
发明内容:
本发明的目的在于提供一种波导对接耦合型雪崩二极管结构,相比于报道的其他结构,该结构工艺简单,具有高耦合效率、高灵敏度以及大带宽等性能。
为了实现上述目的,本发明的雪崩光电二极管结构,如图1所示,包括有p+型欧姆接触电极101,p+欧姆接触层102,吸收层103,p型电荷区104,高场倍增区105,n+型欧姆接触电极106,n+欧姆接触区107,绝缘掩埋层108,衬底109,脊形波导110。其特征在于,p型电荷区104位于脊形波导110终端底部,吸收层103位于p型电荷区104顶部,与脊形波导110的终端内脊区域相对接;高场倍增区105以及n+欧姆接触区107紧挨p型电荷区104依次排布,与脊形波导110外脊厚度相同,且延伸方向垂直于脊形波导110光传输方向。p型电荷区104的厚度和外脊厚度相同。
器件在实现吸收倍增分离的同时,利用波导对接耦合提高光耦合效率,避免了传统双倍增区的电信号的扰动现象,器件尺寸可减小到纳米尺度,可以降低渡越时间和暗电流,提高灵敏度。
该结构实现光波导对接耦合入射,吸收倍增分离的器件功能,其工作原理,如图1所示,光耦合进入脊形波导110中进行传输,并通过对接耦合被吸收层103吸收,产生光生电子-空穴对。在吸收层103反向偏压的作用下电子-空穴分离,光生空穴向p+欧姆接触层102漂移,进而通过p+型欧姆接触电极101进入到外电路,而光生电子漂移通过p型电荷区104,到达高场倍增区105,发生雪崩倍增,最后倍增电子在n+欧姆接触区107收集,产生的倍增电流通过n+型欧姆接触电极106进入到外电路,实现光信号的接收与倍增。
本发明设计针对Ge/Si器件,同时InGaAs/InP、AlGaAs/GaAl、GaN、SiC、SOI或GOI材料器件亦可适用。
本发明适用于所有雪崩探测器的波导对接耦合型设计。
本发明的探测波长范围适用于红外、可见光、紫外或太赫兹波段。
