Description

一种SiGe/Si异质结光敏晶体管探测器
技术领域
本发明属于半导体光电子技术领域,特别涉及一种光探测吸收和光电流放大功能区分离的可见光及近红外光SiGe/Si异质结光敏晶体管探测器。这种光敏晶体管探测器可同时实现高吸收效率和高工作速度。
背景技术
作为现代光通信系统核心器件之一的高性能光电探测器,目前大多是基于价格昂贵的化合物工艺,制备的长波长光电探测器更适用于长距离通信。短距通信和甚短距通信更青睐近红外和可见光波段,同时迅猛发展的移动终端设备及蓝光存储设备也需要近红外和可见光探测器。基于硅材料的器件有低成本和易大规模集成的优点,硅基材料的吸收谱也落在近红外和可见光波段。因此相比基于化合物工艺的光电探测器,硅基探测器在短距和甚短距通信及移动终端的应用等方面更有优势。
SiGe BiCMOS工艺在CMOS工艺中嵌入SiGe HBT工艺,既有CMOS工艺低功耗,高集成的特点,又能利用双极性晶体管的高电流驱动能力;同时在频率和速度上超越CMOS工艺;在提高单片电路集成度的同时,成本增加不多;而且,由于工艺中含有异质结晶体管结构以及Ge成分的掺杂,其在光电子领域拥有比Si工艺更宽的应用范围。
2012年报道的一种基于标准80GHz BiCMOS工艺制备的SiGe光敏晶体管探测器,其探测窗口面积为20*20μm2,对850nm载波的50MHz光学微波信号吸收响应度为3.5A/W,光学微波信号的3dB带宽为728MHz。2013年报道的一种基于0.18BiCMOS工艺制备的SiGe光敏晶体管探测器,对750nm的光吸收响应度高达75A/W。但由于使用了衬底的光生载流子,器件的频率特性很差,工作速度慢。可见,当前的硅基光敏晶体管探测器在器件的响应度和频率特性上存在矛盾,难以同时实现高吸收效率和高工作速度。
发明内容
有鉴于此,本发明的主要目的是基于商用的标准SiGe BiCMOS工艺,提供一种高速高效全波段光敏晶体管探测器,改善SiGe光敏晶体管探测器吸收效率低和工作速度低的缺点,缓解响应度与工作速度优化时存在矛盾。

其中所述的Si集电区/吸收层为n型轻掺杂,掺杂浓度为9.5×1016~1.0×1017cm-3,厚度为0.6μm;
其中所述的SiGe基区/吸收层为p型重掺杂,掺杂浓度为1.0×1019~1.5×1019cm-3,厚度为0.09μm,Ge组分为梯形分布,厚度在0到0.01μm之间,Ge组分从0线性增加到0.15;厚度在0.01μm到0.07μm之间,Ge组分保持0.15不变;厚度在0.07μm到0.09μm之间,Ge组分从0.15线性减少到0;
其中所述的多晶硅发射区为n型重掺杂,掺杂浓度为1.0×1019~1.5×1019cm-3,位于吸收层两侧,厚度为0.3μm;
其中所述的多晶硅吸收层为n型重掺杂,掺杂浓度为1.0×1019~1.5×1019cm-3,厚度为0.3μm;
其中所述的多晶硅吸收层6及其下方的吸收层4、吸收层3构成器件的光探测吸收功能区(2),多晶硅吸收层6的上表面为SiGe/Si异质结光敏晶体管探测器的光吸收窗口;
其中所述的多晶硅发射区5、光探测吸收功能区之外的SiGe基区4和Si集电区3、Si亚集电区2构成器件的光电流放大区(1)和(3),是标准SiGe BiCMOS工艺提供的SiGe HBT;多晶硅发射区5与SiGe基区/吸收层4形成发射结异质结,SiGe基区/吸收层4与Si集电区3形成集电结异质结;

其中所述的光探测吸收区(2),利用形成的发射结异质结和集电结异质结作为吸收区的浅结10和深结11,分别对应吸收长度短的可见光波段和吸收长度长的近红外波段。
当有波长较短的可见光波段照射多晶硅发射区材料层上的光吸收窗口时,浅结(发射结)10耗尽层吸收产生的光生空穴进入SiGe基区/吸收层4,进而被传输至发射结。当有波长较长的近红外光波段照射多晶硅发射区材料层上的光吸收窗口时,深结(集电结)11耗尽层吸收产生的光生空穴也同样进入SiGe基区/吸收层4,进而被传输至发射结,引发光生电流的放大。
其中所述的SiGe基区/吸收层4中梯形分布的Ge组分,可促使基区形成内建加速场对光生电子加速,减少光生电子在基区的渡越时间。在保证一定的发射效率的前提下线性减少发射结附近Ge含量可减小基区复合对器件增益的影响。同时集电结附近的Ge组分线性减少可消除一部分集电结处的能带差,从而消弱异质结势垒效应。
