Technical field
The invention belongs to optical semiconductor electro-technical field, particularly relate to a kind of GaN base laser preparation method and structure.
Background technology
Iii-v nitride-based semiconductor is called as third generation semi-conducting material, has energy gap large, the advantages such as chemical stability is good, and Flouride-resistani acid phesphatase is strong; Its energy gap contains whole visible-range, therefore can be used for making light emitting semiconductor device, as light-emitting diode, laser and superradiance pipe etc.Having based on the laser of iii-v nitride-based semiconductor and superradiance pipe makes simple, and volume is little, lightweight, and the life-span is long, efficiency advantages of higher, is widely applied in fields such as optical communication, optical pumping, optical storage and laser displaies.
The series resistance of usual GaN base laser is comparatively large, and operating voltage is higher, and far above the built-in voltage of laser diode, this is mainly due to the p-AlGaN limiting layer after the 0.5um that has an appointment in laser.For GaN or AlGaN, often adopt CP 2mg is as dopant, but due to the ionization energy of Mg acceptor in GaN higher, up to 170meV, usually be less than the Mg acceptor ionization of 1%, produce hole, the hole concentration in p-type AlGaN or GaN is lower, resistance is higher, thus causing the series resistance of laser comparatively large, the operating voltage of laser is higher, has a strong impact on the performance of laser.
In addition, relative to GaAs or InP-base laser, the absorption coefficient of GaN base laser is comparatively large, is about tens or tens cm -1, cause the threshold current of laser higher, be usually greater than 1kA/cm 2, this Mg acceptor mainly come from p-type layer absorbs, and bibliographical information, the absorption coefficient in usual undoped GaN is about 1cm -1, the absorption coefficient in N-shaped GaN is about 5cm -1, and for p-GaN, its absorption coefficient is up to 100cm -1, this is mainly due to the hole concentration for promoting in p-GaN, and the Mg in p-GaN mixes very high, up to 1019cm -3magnitude, and Mg is deep acceptor, can produce to absorb light, causes the absorption loss in laser very large.
In addition, the multi-quantum well active region growth temperature of GaN base laser is usually lower, be about about 750 DEG C, this growth temperature just determining the laser functional layer of growth above multi-quantum well active region can not be too high, growth time also can not be oversize simultaneously, otherwise the active area of laser can be caused to degenerate, thus worsen the crystal mass of multi-quantum well active region; And laser upper limiting layer is generally AlGaN structure; for ensureing higher crystal mass; reduce the C doping in AlGaN limiting layer; the growth temperature of AlGaN can not be too low; otherwise can cause that the defect of AlGaN is many, conductance is poor, thus affect the performance of laser, therefore need find balance between multi-quantum well active region and upper limiting layer; as grown the cap rock protection Multiple Quantum Well of AlGaN, prevent high annealing etc.
In view of the above, a lot of patent all put forth effort on promote P-type layer conductivity, improve P type ohmic contact or set about from face, chamber reducing the loss of laser, as patent 201410580361.8 proposes the growth atmosphere by changing p-GaN, effectively promote the method for p-GaN hole concentration; Patent: 200710009955.3 propose a kind of method reducing p-GaN ohmic contact resistance; Patent 200810050920.9 proposes a kind of method that passivation laser cavity surface reduces laser losses; This patent is different from above-mentioned all patents, the angle that this patent designs from laser structure, proposes a kind of GaN base laser preparation method.
