Description

一种平面型侧向收集结构铟镓砷红外探测器芯片
技术领域
本发明涉及红外探测器芯片,具体涉及一种平面型侧向收集结构铟镓砷红外探测器芯片。
背景技术
铟镓砷短波红外探测器可以在室温下工作,在民用、军事和航空航天领域具有广泛的应用前景。目前PIN铟镓砷探测器主要分为平面型和台面型两类。台面型器件由于侧面钝化困难,导致器件可靠性降低、暗电流较大,这在很大程度上限制了器件探测率的提高。平面型探测器作为铟镓砷探测器的主流结构,主要在n-InP/i-InGaAs/n-InP外延材料中采用Zn高温扩散的方法制备器件的PN结区,具有钝化容易、暗电流低、可靠性高等优点,非常适用于航空遥感领域。但此制备工艺在高温扩散的过程中使器件表面容易形成扩散热损伤,另外在后续的热处理过程中Zn及P元素的外扩散,这些因素增加了外延层中的缺陷密度,导致PN结性能变差,这在很大程度上限制了探测器暗电流和盲元率的进一步降低。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于克服现有技术的不足,提供一种基于侧向收集结构的平面型铟镓砷探测器新结构,即通过增加载流子侧向收集区,减少外延材料的扩散热损伤,利用载流子的侧向收集效应达到降低器件的暗电流和盲元率的目的。
上述目的是通过如下技术方案实现的:
一种平面型侧向收集结构铟镓砷红外探测器芯片,包括N型InP衬底和依次外延生长在衬底上的N型InP层、铟镓砷本征吸收层、N型InP帽层、氮化硅扩散掩膜层和氮化硅扩散掩膜层蚀刻形成的载流子侧向收集扩散阻挡区,相邻载流子侧向收集扩散阻挡区之间为子像元扩散窗口区,子像元扩散窗口区处经扩散形成子像元PN结区,载流子侧向收集扩散阻挡区下方未扩散区域形成载流子侧向收集区;在光敏元四周生长单层Au形成P电极,在芯片表面淀积二氧化硅形成二氧化硅增透层,通过湿法腐蚀工艺打开P电极孔,依次生长Cr、Au形成加厚电极;所述载流子侧向收集扩散阻挡区至少有两个,形状为矩形,边长尺寸为5~10μm,线列或者面阵排列,中心距相同;所述P电极和加厚电极均为环形遮盖电极,内围尺寸相同。
进一步地,芯片背面设有抛光后淀积单层Au形成的N电极。
进一步地,所述铟镓砷本征吸收层的厚度为1~3μm。
进一步地,所述PN结区的PN结为浅结。
在一个具体的实施例中,本发明的平面型侧向收集结构铟镓砷红外探测器芯片结构如附图2所示,它包括N型InP衬底、N型InP层、铟镓砷本征吸收层、N型InP帽层、氮化硅扩散掩膜层、载流子侧向收集扩散阻挡区、PN结区、载流子侧向收集区、P电极、二氧化硅增透层、加厚电极、N电极。首先在N型InP衬底上通过外延方法依次排列生长N型InP层、铟镓砷本征吸收层、N型InP帽层,铟镓砷本征吸收层的厚度为1~3μm,然后在NIN型外延片上淀积氮化硅扩散掩膜层用作扩散掩膜层,同时起到钝化层的作用。通过感应耦合等离子体刻蚀技术(ICP)刻蚀和湿法腐蚀工艺形成矩形的载流子侧向收集扩散阻挡区,数量大于等于2,面阵或者线列排列。在考虑到开扩散窗口时扩散掩膜的侧向钻蚀和闭管扩散时掺杂元素横向扩散的前提下,扩散阻挡区边长尺寸为5~10μm,中心距相同。闭管扩散形成子像元PN结区,PN结为浅结,位于载流子侧向收集的扩散阻挡区以下的未扩散区域作为载流子侧向收集区。在光敏元的四周生长环形的单层Au作为P电极,然后在芯片表面淀积二氧化硅增透层作为芯片的增透膜,同时起到退火阻挡层及钝化层的作用。快速热退火后,通过常规湿法腐蚀工艺打开P电极孔,依次生长Cr、Au用作加厚电极,加厚电极为环形遮盖电极,内围尺寸与整个器件的光敏元大小保持一致以对光敏面进行定义,芯片背面抛光后生长单层Au用作N电极,最后,将芯片涂胶后划片。
本发明的有益效果:
1、减小了光敏元的扩散区域,可有效地减少扩散带来的热损伤,并引入双层钝化工艺减小表面复合,增加少数载流子的寿命、降低器件的暗电流和盲元率、提高探测器的探测率;
2、载流子侧向收集的扩散阻挡区边长尺寸设计为5~10μm,产生在载流子侧向收集区的光生载流子可以被周围的结区有效地收集,光敏元响应均匀;
3、本发明引入了载流子侧向收集区,利用了载流子的侧向收集效应,产生在载流子侧向收集区的光生载流子可以被周围的PN结区有效吸收,这种结构减少了热扩散区域从而有效地减少了扩散热损伤,在保持光敏元响应均匀的同时降低器件的暗电流。
